SAGAB

The self-assignment flag by sanrio-kotto.

A Self-Assigned Gender At Birth (also known as a personally assigned birth gender) or self-assignment of gender is an AGAB Non-Conforming label where someone uses a different AGAB label than what they were originally assigned at birth.

Self-assigned AGABs are used by gender diverse people as a rejection of the idea that one is forever tied to what they were assigned at birth. Intersex people may also use SAGAB labels if they feel that their AGAB was inaccurate, and a different one would fit better.
