So, lets let the thread return to the original question which was to stir up a dog whistle on anything other than your view.

You misinterpret the original question and go off in the wrong direction. The question was "Why ask the question regarding Gender?" If your current ID says one thing and you want to say something else, that is OK by the instructions. You need no one else's decision. Thus, the answer is irrelevant. It does not contain any relevant identifying info about you. No intent of a dog whistle. Just an intent to point out the absurdity of asking a question that has no value by definition. Any answer is considered correct. Obsessions with what you are is not the issue. Just like questions regarding hair color, eye color, skin color, height and weight where you can decline to answer or change the actual.
TSA's responsibility is to determine if you are who you say you are and to evaluate whether you represent any danger. If you are 30 years old, 6'8" and full beard, bald, 400 pounds and claim to be Twiggy (Dame Lesley Lawson DBE (née Hornby; born 19 September 1949) is an English model, actress, and singer, widely known by the nickname Twiggy) you "might" be questioned without needing a form that you filled out regarding characteristics. No one is going to count your x,y or other alphabet constituents.
