To complain about “gender identity” question on a registration form

Man here. I just tried to fill in a form sent out by a charity, but one of the questions was:

“Is your gender identity the same as the gender you were assigned at birth?”

I tried ignoring it, but it’s not possible to submit the form without answering this question.

So I emailed them saying that I don’t believe in gender identity theory, & it’s discriminatory for them not to give an option for those of us who are gender critical. I have asked if they can change the form, or handle my registration in another way.

I think they’ll be surprised, and perhaps I’ve embarrassed myself. But I won’t go along with something I consider to be harmful and wrong.

AIBU? What will likely happen next?

Well done. I do the same every time.

I think you should get over yourself.

So the answer for you is yes. Easy. I don’t see why it affects you in any way apart from ticking a box.

Because it is nonsense. What is gender identity anyway? Sex is observed at birth and even in utero. It cannot change

Good for you. The more people that push back on this quasi religious nonsense the better.

You could also raise gdpr with them. They shouldn't be collecting unnecessary data. Gender identity is not a protected characteristic. Sex is.

I don’t have a gender identity. My sex was observed at birth.

Good for you OP, the only way this shite will change is if we challenge this every time.

Not sure what they will do though.

Which organisation was it?

Why do they even need to know if you believe in gender identity?
What are you registering to do?
