DMAB/DFAB

DMAB stands for Designated Male At Birth, whereas DFAB stands for Designated Female At Birth.

AMAB/AFAB

AMAB stands for Assigned Male At Birth, and AFAB stands for Assigned Female At Birth.

CAMAB/CAFAB

Other than the C which stands for Coercively, CAMAB and CAFAB are the same as AMAB/AFAB. The word coercively is used to show lack of choice when it came to gender.

These are not always interchangeable terms.
