Am I right to cross out "gender" on my child's school form and change it to "sex?"

I have a form for my child's new school which asks me my child's gender. I feel it should say "sex" seeing as gender is a social construct. Would I be wrong to cross out gender and write sex?

I do that on most forms. I figure one day someone will ask why.

Certainly not. Do it and suggest other parents do the same.
