I see some relevance, speaking for myself. I *do* behave differently with men and women. This is a social issue I fully accept and therefore having this information if the person in question agreed to give it is useful for me, in terms of social behaviour. When it comes at "gender", "sex" or whatever else, this is probably up to each perspon to give this the definition (s)he wants in order to fill in that filed (or decide not to fill it). So, actually, I filled that field for myself...:)
