'''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.
