male-assigned
Born labeled boy
Male-assigned describes a person who was designated male at birth, typically based on physical anatomy observed by medical professionals.
The term appears most often in discussions of gender identity, particularly when distinguishing between assigned sex and gender identity.
Someone who is male-assigned may or may not identify as male later in life.
Male-assigned individuals who identify as women are transgender women.
The fuller form "assigned male at birth" (AMAB) is also common.
