'''Assigned Female At Birth''' ('''AFAB''') (also seen as '''Designated Female At Birth''' ('''DFAB''') or '''Female Assigned At Birth''' ('''FAAB''')) is an [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender]] for individuals who have external [[sex]] traits that are identified as female.

* A uterus and ovaries, unless if they were born without one or both ([[Gonadal Agenesis|agenesis]]), or had them removed later in life.

Not all individuals who were AFAB were born with all of these traits, in which case they may be considered [[intersex]]. Some intersex individuals were AFAB, because they appeared externally female and their condition is not obvious without genetic testing or was not noticed until later in life.
