错判性别


Definition from 新浪财经:
"错判性别"含义:当提到某人或与某人(尤其是变性者或双性人)交谈时,使用了错误的(人称或物主)代词或其专用于某一性别的词语。

“错判性别(misgender)”指的是把某个性别的人错当成另一种性别的行为,比如错把某个男性当成了女性,反之亦然。
词性:动词

Example sentence(s):
  • “错判性别”指的是把某个性别的人错当成另一种性别的行为,比如错把某个男性当成了女性,反之亦然。 - 新浪财经  
  • 早产男婴被护士错判性别又当死婴丢厕所 - 烟台新闻网  
  • 女孩出生时被医生误判性别,用男孩身份生活了十几年! (这里的“误判性别”等同于“错判性别”) - 好看视频  

Explanation:
其实,misgender对应的标准中文表达用“错判性别”和“误判性别”都可以,是一个动词,“误判”比“错判”听起来更正式而已。而且,不单单可以用于人,还可以用于动物,例如:一只被误判性别的大熊猫,竟然被安排了相亲。(http://dy.163.com/v2/article/detail/DQ5CJ5HU0522TADM.html
