jbovlaste gives "x1 is sexy" as a possible meaning, so {cinse} could
actually qualify.

It's a problem because if I want to unambiguously mean "sexuality" then
I can say "gledji" but if I want to unambiguously mean "gender" then I
have no good options.

I think you're reading cinse4 differently than I am. As far as I can
tell, the entirety of the actual definition is "by standard"; I had read
that to mean something like "in dimension/attribute/respect".
