It's on the birth certificate, so it is assigned. There are some efforts to remove it, so perhaps that will change.

Doesn't seem like assignment to me, more like documenting.

Has a penis -> Boy

Has a vagina -> Girl

Of course that is not a designation of what gender identity the person will adopt, and perhaps change more than once, over the course of his or her lifetime.
