To think that 'Female' shouldn't be the 4th option in a list of 5 when being asked about gender?

I'm having a rubbish day and am in the midst of feeling annoyed about everything so I'm quite happy to be told I'm over reacting.
I've just completed a survey sent to me by Dominos pizza (following a recent order). At the end of the survey it asked for a few questions for 'classification purposes'. It then asked 'Please select your gender', the bit that really annoyed me was the the 'Female' option was 4th down the list of 5 options. Surely it should state male & female as the first two, and then the non-binary / third gender, Prefer to self describe, Prefer not to answer options?
I just feel angry that female has been relegated to 4th place. Obviously male was number 1 in the list !
Apologies if this isn't the right place to rant, it's just been one of those days.

Were the choices in alphabetical order?

Presumably not as the first choice was male.

I applied for a job and the only options were cis male or cis female Confused

Transphobes! 😃

That is super annoying. Would piss me off hugely too.

Gender is essentially sexist bollocks. They should be asking people their sex.

There's never, ever, a 'I don't believe in gender identities' option, is there?

Female is NOT a gender it refers to a sex class.

We are, however, always relegated to the bottom or near bottom if we are mentioned at all.

We must know our place.

They probably wanted to put it 5th but were told not to be unreasonable 😖

Male is default human. Female is some subhuman other.

Yep. Totally get it.

We are less than second. We fall below males who identify as whatever.

I hear you.

I get annoyed when it's always male first and then female. So that would REALLY piss me off!
