It seems like an obvious compromise here would be to include BOTH gender and biological sex as fields on the password field.
Biological sex being what your chromosomes are XX for female, XY for male. Useful to include to placate folks who insist on conflating both biology and social presentation, and for medical purposes as well.
Gender would encompass however people choose to present socially. Personally (as Emperor of the world), I would make this a limited free text field (if only to save the tax dollars of paying State Dept. programmers to update the dropdown list).
Countries that care about gender can pay attention to that field. Countries that care about biological sex can pay attention to the other.
Seems like a win-win that avoids any social doublethink while also respecting biological reality.
