Filling in paperwork for my son to start in the baby room in a few month’s time and the question is as follows:

Child Gender: Male / Female / Non binary

This is a form for children aged 3 months to 4 years.

I’ve asked my baby whether he feels comfortable in the sex he was born as but he declined to answer and then vomited on me…

Seriously though, should I challenge this? It seems absurd.

Yes, an ocean is v definitely made of drops!. I would ask for an appointment with the manager and explain why this is nonsensical on one level & at worst has serious implications for children's wellbeing. I would want to know how they talk to kids about sex/gender/gender roles etc. Are boys & girls encouraged to play with all toys and NOT encouraged to think that a boy who plays with a doll is in fact a girl. How are the staff trained to deal with these issues etc. Only after that conversation would I go to Ofsted or the press if they are intransigent. I get that you want to tread carefully with an older child there but its incredibly important this this crap is not tolerated.

Good advice 👆

When your older child started the form just asked which sex I guess?

All this has come on very suddenly. My child's primary school came out all gender woo in past year.

It will be uncomfortable but you need to meet with manager and ask them what is going on.

It's all so sensitive when you are trusting other people to act in loco parentis. You don't want to risk falling out with them and your kid treated less well. Nor do you want your toddler groomed by gender adherents.

More exposure of these situations in the daily mail would help, but I wouldn't want the attention, esp not if it involves my children.

You are not the only parent worried about this.

It's not ideological to know, with the backing of biomedical science that there are two sexes, or that babies and toddlers aren't some nebulous in between category.
