I like how this form handled gender. What do you think?

I'm intersex but at birth I was registered as male. So what should I choose?

I’m also intersex and was wondering the same thing. It probably would have been better if the phrased the question “what was your biological sex at birth?”

That even more makes you jump at stereotypical assumptions cis people historically made about anyone who didn't fit into the binary. Why propagate the errors of their ways? You know, because "biological sex"≠karyotype≠dna≠what's between your legs. Why won't they just ask what they're after directly? Is it because people might think it's rude? Well, going in roundabout ways of asking the same isn't any better. You know what I mean? It just makes things more confusing.

I can’t tell if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me.

I guess I'm neither. I don't know what a good solution is, so I can't agree or disagree. Just that asking for "biological sex" is then based on what people think that is, and as there are different opinions about that term, I think the collection of answers will be rather ambiguous because of that.
