What would you tanru/lujvo together to convey that? sevzi is
insufficient to distinguish gender identity from other kinds of
self-identification (e.g. nationality/culture); klesi and le'e likewise.
cinse is narrower, but as I've mentioned also means sexual orientation,
and to distinguish which sense is meant we again need a word that means
gender.

(If we had a word for sex, gender could be constructed by lujvo as "sex
stereotype". But we don't.)

(Perhaps gender could be {pibykemxarlei} as "pubic stereotype"?)
