{cinse} was close to what I wanted, so I created {ceinse} as a
"corrected version". (I'm assuming that redefining a standard= gismu is
not going to happen.)

That's actually too *narrow* -- it doesn't allow us to talk a= bout how we
gender inanimate objects and each other. (E.g., <http://is.gd/HXdBMy>,
<http://is.gd/aFzoSg>.)

The use of "gender" in that con= text is different than self-identification; it's targeting based on gen= der, and that's a tanru/lujvo.

Also, we already have {sevzi} for that.

I was thin= king of {sevzi}, but I wasn't sure if that's permissible usage.
=

{tu'a le ninmu cu sevzi mi} isn't bad for gender identity, though.<= br>

This overlooks one of my major gripes with {cinse}, which is that
officially it also includes sexual orientation.

Le= t's solve one problem at a time, right?
