'''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 people 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 people without making assumptions about one's current sex, body, or gender. |

When a person 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 people who were AMAB only discover they have a vagina once they are older. Chromosomes are also not checked, so a person who was AMAB doesn't necessarily have XY chromosomes. |

Some [[intersex]] individuals were AMAB, because they appeared externally male and their condition is not obvious without genetic testing or was not noticed until later in life. Some intersex individuals were coercively assigned male at birth (CAMAB), meaning they were medically altered without their consent to fit the sex binary. |

AMAB people are typically raised with the assumption that they will identify as a [[man]], however AMAB people can be any gender and can have any [[Gender Presentation|gender presentation]]. AMAB men are considered [[cisgender]] men. [[Transgender]] AMAB people are most commonly assumed to be trans [[Woman|women]], however [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] AMAB people can also be considered trans. AMAB people who identify primarily with [[Feminine|femininity]] can be called [[transfeminine]]. |
