'''Birth assignment''', also called '''gender assignment''' or '''assigned gender at birth'''(abbreviated '''AGAB'''), refers to the [[gender]] or [[sex]] that was assigned to an infant upon their birth, usually based only on the appearance of their external genitalia. This is done with the assumption that an individual's eventual [[Gender Identity|gender identity]] will match their birth assignment—assigned male at birth (AMAB) or assigned female at birth (AFAB). This is not the case for transgender people. Birth assignments are recorded as "sex" on birth certificates.
