== Assigned Sex at Birth ==
One's assigned sex at birth (ASAB) is typically used to determine one's [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender at birth]] (AGAB). It is typically male ([[AMAB]]), female ([[AFAB]]), or intersex ([[AXAB]]), though intersex babies are often given non-consensual surgery so their body is closer to male or female. One is typically raised with the assumption that one will identity with their gender assigned at birth, though assigned sex does not determine one's gender later in life. ASAB it not always one's actual sex. Some intersex people are assign male or female at birth, because their condition of intersex either is not externally obvious or did not present itself until puberty.
Studies show that those who are raised in a neutral manner ([[UAB]]) tend to have a better sense of identity, understanding, and social skills.
== Gender ==
Under the [[Binary Genders|gender binary]] it is believed that gender can be assigned based on sex, however gender can differ from ones biological sex ([[transgender]]/[[transine]]). Comfort or discomfort with one's sex characteristics may help in determining one's gender, however this is not always the case.
