female-assigned
Labeled as girl
Female-assigned describes a person whose sex was recorded as female at birth, typically based on external anatomy.
The term appears in medical and transgender contexts where the distinction between assigned sex and gender identity matters: female-assigned at birth, often abbreviated AFAB.
Someone female-assigned may or may not identify as a woman.
