Precisely.

Like actually? just dont use AMAB and AFAB as nouns like that, its basically the same thing as saying "biological males" and "biological females" and just as impresice. ln your comment there you could have literally just said

So this law bans

• jack off when cum
• Gay sex when cum
• sex where the one person is post menopausal or some shit, if the other person cum
• lesbian sex where someone is non-reproductive for any reason, if someone else cum. including the rhythm method
• period sex

and conveyed the exact same message without using that stupid ass dehumanizing lanaguge Hope that helps ----

My own style uses AMAB and AFAB strictly in the same manner as the full phrases spelled out. Thus it's a person AMAB ("a person assigned male at birth") and not *an AMAB ("an assigned male at birth" — what exactly is an "assigned male"?) nor *an AMAB person ("an assigned male at birth person" — that's an odd bit of syntax, isn't it?)

—Of course, acronyms do often undergo zero derivation, this is to be expected and generally is perfectly fine, but I think the risk of allowing this to happen with AMAB and AFAB specifically is that these terms will lose their original purpose and come to just be used as misguided euphemisms for male and female, and the world just doesn't really need more synonyms of male and female, right?

Obviously, though, you couldn't just replace "AMAB-on-AMAB sex when cum" with "person-AMAB-on-person-AMAB sex when cum" and expect this to be any better, because that phrase would be really clunky and would still indicate a sort of "binary mindset" about it.

Thus my own general rule for these sorts of situations is to think pona, i.e. what are the exact biological or physiological features in question? The most pona description of the law's scope ends up just being the law itself, so then if we want to list examples of what the law would ban, we could say something like...

It bans ejaculation of semen either as a result of masturbation, fellatio, anal or non-penetrative sex without intent to donate or sell sperm, or as a result of penetrative sex between someone who produces sperm and someone who cannot conceivably become pregnant through natural insemination at the time the intercourse took place, except when this inability is the result of contraception. Under this law it would for instance be illegal to ejaculate inside someone postmenopausal or someone having a menstrual period, or likewise to ejaculate inside someone born without a uterus or ovaries, et cetera.

...Which is more clinical, but also far more precise and thoroughly divorced from a binary conception of AMAB-versus-AFAB as rigid categories.

Cracker is always acceptable, except for when it isn't.
