Refreshing to see this on a recent survey. I’m fairly sure I did the same survey last year and the question referenced “assigned at birth”.

I guess it's a move in the right direction, but I'd still prefer "sex at birth" or better "sex at conception".

What you were registered as doesn't necessarily align with reality either.

I filled in a survey for a theatre I'd visited recently which had a compulsory questions which asked for gender identity and used the 'assigned at birth' guff. I made sure to point out in the comments that I was 'gender agnostic' and didn't subscribe to the ideology so they should remove that question.
I always write: my sex observed at birth is female.

It's a big step in the right direction, though it still assumes we all "identify with a gender", which is a bit like being asked if I'm a Catholic atheist or a Protestant one.
