I understand it to mean, and don't want it to mean, gledji.

I'm not sure where your question is coming from; they'd mean the same
thing they currently do. Possible x4s might include gender of
identification (sevzi), gender performance, sex/gender assigned at
birth, anatomical sex, and chromosomal sex. Possible x3s (belonging to
various x4s) might include masculine, feminine, androgynous, butch,
femme, boi, fetsi, nakni, intersex, hermaphroditic, and of
asexually-reproducing species.

What BAIs would you use? {ci'e} might work for x4, but I think you'd
need a cinse modal for the x3.
