(at) fejlkønne


Definition from Vidensbanken om kønsidentitet:
At anvende forkerte pronomener (stedord) om en person, typisk en transkønnet person. F.eks at omtale en transkvinde som “han” eller en transmand som “hun”. [...] Ordet miskønne anvendes også.

Example sentence(s):
  • Vi anbefaler, at sundhedspersonale: 1. Undgår at anvende sygeliggørende sprog, at lave cisnormative og heteronormative antagelser, at kønne personer, hvor de ikke kender pronomen og/eller kønsidentitet (dette gælder også personens partnere, venner, forældre mv.), at fejlkønne og anvende forkerte navne og pronomener, at seksualisere eller eksotificere transpersoner. - Høringssvar Rådgivning for transperson  
  • Man fejlkønner, når man antager, at en person har et andet køn end det, de har og fx bruger et andet navn eller pronomen om en person end det, de har valgt skal bruges om sig selv. Man fejlkønner fx en transperson, når man siger ‘han’ om personen, selvom personen er en kvinde og bruger pronomenet hun. - LARM for LGBT-rettigheder  
  • F.eks. at man altid skal respektere et barns kønsudtryk og kønsidentitet, og at det er krænkende bevidst at fejlkønne et barn, uanset hvilket køn, det er tildelt ved fødslen. - Høringsnotat vedr. forslag, KK
