If the system wants to know my sex, I can either say yes or no, if it
wants to know my gender I can say male or female ;-)

you're asking a living
creature whether it is male or female, you are asking it's sex, not
its gender. Living creatures do not come in genders. They come in sexes.

The system has no interest in biology. The system wants to know your
gender, so that it can use the correct grammatical gender in pronouns
referring to you. I thought I made this pretty clear in the announcement.
