    I refuse when there is an option to, but in this case you had to make a choice between male and female, it was a required field to schedule a vaccine.

      It sounds like a medical records thing and you should use whatever gender is listed on your medical records, which should probably match your social security records.

      Some people only change state records so they have to respond differently depending on who’s asking. I think in this case its related to federal records.
