'''Assigned Sex''' (also referred to as '''birth sex''') refers to the [[sex]] you were interpreted as at birth, which usually corresponds to the [[Gender Identity|gender identity]] <ref name=":0">https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asignaci%C3%B3n_de_sexo</ref>you were raised as and/or assumed to have in childhood. As a phrase, this is a way to refer to the [[sex]] that was put on your birth certificate, without making assumptions about your actual/current [[sex]], body or identity. In cultures with a [[Binary Genders|gender binary]], assigned sex is either [[male]] or [[female]].<br />
<br />
In some contexts, assigned sex may be referred to as "genetic", "biological" or "birth" gender. However, many members of the [[transgender]] community take offense to these and other similar terms, because it seems to imply that their identities are less real than those of [[cisgender]] people.<br />
<br />
Assigned sex is also a useful phrase when discussing [[intersex]] people. [[Intersex]] people are often assigned a [[sex]] that does not match their chromosomes, genitals, and/or other characteristics of their body, and they may have been subject to non-consensual medical treatments to "normalize" their [[sex]], often in childhood without their knowledge or permission.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Assigned sex is often referred to using the acronyms AFAB/AMAB (Assigned Female/Male At Birth), FAAB/MAAB (Female/Male Assigned At Birth), DFAB/DMAB (Designated Female/Male At Birth) or CAFAB/CAMAB (Coercively Assigned Female/Male At Birth). CAFAB and CAMAB are particularly used within the intersex community. Occasionally, UAAB (Un-Assigned At Birth) is used where a person was not assigned [[Man|male]] or [[Woman|female]] at birth.<br />
