'''Assigned Male At Birth''' ('''AMAB''') (also seen as '''Designated Male At Birth''' ('''DMAB''') or '''Male Assigned At Birth''' ('''MAAB''')) is an [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender]] for those who have external [[sex]] traits that were identified as male. It is used as a way to refer to the sex on one's birth certificate or to discuss medical issues that primarily face AMAB individuals without making assumptions about one's current sex, body, or gender. |

When one is born they are said to be male based on the presence of a penis, or a clitoris over a certain size. The presence of a vagina (the internal structure) is not checked. Some [[intersex]] individuals who were AMAB only discover they have a vagina once they are older. Chromosomes are also not checked, so someone who was AMAB doesn't necessarily have XY chromosomes. |
