Modern terminology is too much for me, man.. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Does โ€œTransfemโ€ mean that your โ€œassignedโ€ sex at birth was male or female?

It means AMAB. Best way to remember is that trans terminology describes identities we identify with, or direction of transition. So trans women are women, and transfem (transfeminine) means feminine or feminizing.

direction of transition is the easiest way to think about it imo. hrt femboys, binary trans women, nonbinary/GNC trans women would then all fall under the umbrella of "transfem"

just for clarification, ive heard "transfem enby" in a book but it didn't explain what it specifically meant, does that mean nonbinary person that was assigned male at birth?

yes. that also usually implies that said person is transitioning socially (name/pronouns/gender marker/presentation) and or medically (hormones).

one can certainly be a nonbinary amab and not do those things, but I wouldn't consider them transfem, personally.

I think it's easier to remember in the negative form: They don't want to be called a woman, so why risk your teeth and call them a transwoman. (For AFAB)
