They ask what gender you are assigned at birth.

Which does not help when you're ringing with high blood pressure. But yes I did tell them I wasn't assigned a gender at birth.

And apparently I've slept through my call backs so I've got to ring the GP . (although I think I need to kill the nighttime mode on my new phone as my alarm also doesn't work)
I'd rung yesterday and initially was told I had an appointment the next day but the text came through and it's next week. I had rung to confirm that it was.. the poor girl who'd booked the appointment had forgotten what I'd said when she asked why I was wanting an appointment.

The day when they stop "assigned at birth" will be a very happy one.
I think all this insidious language is most shocking coming from a healthcare org, where sex actually matters pretty seriously.

The online assessment asks for sex recorded at birth.
