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 means a gross slimy screaming blob sclurped out and it had a dingaling so they said "it's a boy!" And wrote it on the piece of paper you must have to prove you're alive.

That someone might not be what they appear to be hasn't crossed peoples' minds because they still love them some sheeps with fangs and a bark.

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).

People who are wrongfully arrested usually don't have bail set at $75,000, then increased to $100,000.  The police don't set bail.  A judge does.

Point of order: Gender and sex are two different things. She was not "assigned" a sex a birth, she was male.

Judges also generally assume at bail hearings that the police are telling the truth. Most people can't afford a Perry Mason to defend them at a trial, let alone pre-trial hearings.

"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.
