How is it misgendering, though, if the narrator tries to pick up on social cues (something she struggles with, since gender doesn't exist in her society) to determine the speaker's gender and always refers to them by the correct one in their language? She isn't saying "you're a woman because that's what you look like to me" - the pronoun "he" doesn't exist in her language. When she's speaking their language, the narrator makes repeatedly clear that she always tries to use the right pronoun and, if corrected, switches to the correct one.

Of course if you quit a couple of chapters in, I realize that it's possible you missed that.

And the Raadchai are all Raadchai gendered. There's no indication that Seivarden (the only Raadchai whose physical sex is described as male) isn't completely comfortable with her lack of a gender role in her culture.

Yeah, on later reflection I'd also really like to know who the OP thinks got "misgendered" into being a woman in the first place, since he stated he only read the first few chapters. There are no "men" in the first few chapters, as far as we're aware. There is only Seivarden, whom we're told is biologically male because Justice of Toren knows that. That doesn't mean Seivarden is a "man" - as the transman OP really ought to know.
