It seems that often "assigned" is used with roles as in a grade school play, and similar to being assigned a desk or a composition. And I now get the impression that "assigned at birth" is used among this age group as something that can serve their rebel or ego instincts, as in refusing a an "assigned sex" is like refusing a role in a play or a seat too close to the window.
