It irks me no end and always has that so many organizations ask for gender and insist you give it and insist you specify male or female. Mostly because it's none of their business. Unless it for a piece of identification, my physical or mental gender is none of their business. I have no problem supplying my physical gender for the purposes of identification documents. Of course, my physical gender no longer fits in their nice little male/female tick boxes.
