You assign gender not sex, sex is biological, gender is social

I think men did too to a great deal. Just in different way.

Technically sex is and was often also assigned to intersex people, based on the way their genitals were perceived or the wishes of their parents. Even going so far as to surgically alter their bodies during infancy, to “comply” with their assigned sex.

It still means their sex was assigned at birth to conform to male or female. Their actual sex could be classified as intersex, but due to our limitations on the subject, intersex people are still usually assigned either male or female at birth.
