Morphology

transed + gender

The element 'transed' is non‑standard/slang and absent from dictionaries, so a B1 learner who only knows the literal components ('trans' as a marker for transgender and 'gender') would not reliably infer the specialized verb sense 'to misgender'. There is a clear morphological link to 'trans' + 'gender', giving a partial clue, but the specific meaning (misidentifying someone's gender) is community‑specific and not a predictable, regular composition.

Etymology

Transed gender treats trans (short for 'transgender') as something done to a person's gender, like putting the wrong label or sticker on them. So, if someone is transed gender, they were 'misgendered', meaning people used the wrong pronouns or words for them.
