Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  Pertti Hietaranta: Yes, because this seems to be the official term now, cf. e.g. https://www.amnesty.fi/toivon-vain-kunnioitusta/: "Väärin sukupuolitettu voi joutua selittämään esimerkiksi ravintolassa tai postipakettia hakiessaan, miksi hänellä on 'väärät' henkilöpaperit."
