Glossary

Sex assigned at birth

It corresponds to the legal assignment of a sex (male or female) that is performed when the person is born and is usually performed by medical personnel based on their perception of the person’s genitals. In the case of intersex people, relying only on the genital aspect can induce errors in the allocation of sex. Some countries consider a third allocation category (Indeterminate) for intersex cases.
