I don’t think that trans activists do themselves a favor by using obviously non-scientific language like “assigned male at birth.” Unless you are the very rare intersex individual, you aren’t “assigned” a sex at birth; you simply are that sex at birth. We don’t really know how many people are intersex; as high as 1.7% but that’s almost certainly too high, probably well under 1%. Regardless, that’s a genotype mutation, it doesn’t change the sexual dimorphic nature of human biological sex in the vast majority of humans.

If I were one of those babies born with a full head of hair, I wouldn’t say I was “assigned a full head of hair” at birth. I would just say I had a full head of hair, that was the physical reality.

If you want to make terms like “cisgender” common parlance in Western language, you have to meet people halfway, and using terms like “assigned male at birth” for non-intersex people is not helpful.
