No, i mean words that instead of meaning that someone is a boy, it means that they are mentally a boy. Everyone is used to using words that describe what people are biologically, but we should be talking about gender identity unless we really do want to talk specifically about their biological sex. So, the terms that mean identify as male, female, genderqueer, etc, should always be preferred when talking about humans (or even bots/androids that are supposed to have a gender since they don't have a biological sex).

If you mean words that are suitable for individuals regardless of their gender
identities, yes, there are words for those. "Human" is "{remna}," and "person"
(not necessarily human) is "{prenu}." "Child" is "{verba}," "offspring" is
"{panzi}," "parent" is "{rirni}," "sibling" is "{tunba}," "uncle/aunt" is
"{famti}," et cetera.
