• My concern here is that this idea conflates two separate pieces of information: Sex (biological context: XX or XY), and sexual identity (social context: how they view themselves sexually). I have no objection to adding a field for sexual identity (or orientation), which would necessarily be an entry field, but do not agree with having it replace the existing field for biological sex. To do so would leave it impossible to capture both the biological and social aspects of a person, just as it is currently. In short, it would be just as wrong, but in the other direction.  :)
