Assigned sex at birth also includes a lot of how a person is socialized (not just from family but society at large) during their formative years. So it is, in a sense, assigning a person a gender as well.
Also gender and sex are frequently conflated in the English language by most people who choose not to think more critically or ask questions on these topics.

I would agree that people are generally assigned “sex” and “gender” at birth, I just don’t understand why it seems they’re conflated among queer spaces when discussing “Assigned Male At Birth”+“Assigned Gender At Birth” when I feel like it should be “Assigned Boy At Birth”+“Assigned Gender At Birth” and “Assigned Male At Birth”+“Assigned Sex At Birth.” If we’re in agreement that the OP is an error, I guess I’m just surprised to see it in this space.
