'''Assigned Gender At Birth''' ('''AGAB''') or '''Designated Gender At Birth''' ('''DGAB''') (also called '''Assigned Gender''' or '''Assigned Sex''') is the gender one is assigned at birth based on medical factors, including hormones, chromosomes, and genitals. It is the sex that is put on one's birth certificate and typically corresponds to the gender one was raised as or is assumed to be in childhood. The term is a way to refer to the sex that was put on one's birth certificate, without making assumptions about their current sex, body or gender. Common acronyms are:
*
*
* [[AXAB]]: Assigned X At Birth, typically used for intersex individuals. Also seen as ''UAAB'' (Un-Assigned At Birth).
Sometimes, assigned sex may be referred to as ''genetic'' or ''biological'' gender. However, many members of the [[transgender]] community take offense to these and other similar terms, because it seems to imply that gender in general is biological and that their identities are less real than those of [[cisgender]] people.
