gender choices are male and female, this is after having a choice between Mr, Mrs, Ms, Mx, MMx, X?? Not even a prefer not to say.

I've started to put my gender as GNC, (gender non confirming) as so many places say preference is give to under represented 'identities' and I figure as I am certainly not gendered female I should be in the Under represented category, but I'm sick of this shit.

I'm sorry, OP - jobhunting is wretched at the best of times. This so far from the best of times that I'm feeling Dickensian about it all.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

I wish you success in finding somewhere that is a convivial environment and work you enjoy.

Gender non conforming sounds like a good option. Can you cross the box out & write that by the side?
