I think I can appreciate where you're coming from, but in the context of the article it was legitimately necessary to address the topic somehow; it's not like it was written apropos of nothing as a commentary on transsexuality. As a CIS person, I also have a "percieved gender" with which I identify.
Would "post-transition gender" be a more sensitive term, or less?
More, but there's an even simpler solution. In the context, the author is distinguishing between "sex assigned at birth" and "perceived gender." The equivocating word " perceived" could simply be dropped with no loss of clarity.
