My workplace is trying to introduce a requirement to ask our service users their gender when we record their details. What they mean is gender identity.
I know colleagues are unhappy as this can be a divisive way to start a conversation where gender doesn’t really have a bearing on the service provided (phone support line).

While there has been no communication as to how we explain what we mean by gender to clients yet, I know it’ll be the gender ideology version due to various inclusion training that’s been provided before. This is a third sector organisation, covering uk.
The options of male and female have been removed and replaced with woman (inc trans woman), man (inc trans man), intersex, non binary, agender, prefer to describe and declined. You therefore cannot choose an option which would satisfy a gender critical perspective.
I wonder if you have any thoughts about the issues this decision poses ?
