What does it mean to be "assigned male at birth"? You are either born male or you are not, no?
It means you were assigned based on your external genitalia rather than the gender you "really" are inside.

I put really in the scare quotes because if gender is a social construct rather a bit of physical anatomy, then no one is "really" a particular gender.

It's neither. If gender were determined by sex, trans people wouldn't exist by definition. If gender were a social construct,  every tomboy would just be a boy (if, of course, I am understanding those social-construct people).

"Assigned (male/female) at birth" is the new politically correct way of saying born with man parts or woman parts. I had a transgender person (technically "non-binary gender queer" person) on my work team for a few months who insisted on politically-correct trans language.

Does the ENDA extend to such cases?

Some states, not federally.
