Roxanne Tickle, a transgender woman from New South Wales, alleged Giggle for Girls and its founder Sally Grover removed her from their social media platform as they "considered her to be male".
I think that’s the ambiguity. An AFAB only space is different to a women’ (and maybe other feminine identities I’m not aware of) space. The first, AFAB, is about the sex you were born into. The second is about your gender (and here we can even create different groups, but that’s beyond the point). The ambiguity comes because each of us uses “female” differently, sometimes to mean this or that. That’s the importance of specifying what we mean, especially when creating a club or something similar.

This person probably wouldn’t allow AFAB trans men either.
