ngatërroj (gaboj) gjininë


Definition from own experience or research:
Deklarimi i gabuar i gjinisë së një personi, veçanërisht kur i referohet një personi transgjinor, duke mos pasqyruar identitetin gjinor të personit.

Example sentence(s):
  • Është e zakonshme që njerëzit të ngatërrojnë seksin, gjininë dhe identitetin gjinor. - SOS LGBTI  

Explanation:
Both terms, "ngatërroj gjininë" and "gaboj gjininë" can be used, but as a transitive verb, it is easier to use "ngatërroj" in all its grammatical forms.
