My doctor says it's a legitimate condition and you have to treat me like I'm normal or else you're a hatemonger.

I can't see how you'd get the stick for that. You're not to blame.

I'd protest, but you have a biological imperative to rape me, and I don't want to be a bigot.

Yes, let's expend precious healthcare IT resources so the guy who mutilated his dick doesn't have to question the wisdom of that decision.
Since this kind of ignorance is prevalent and can only be fixed by waiting for the idiots to die, I think yes, it would be cheaper to fix the software.
Seriously, did you really expect not to get trolled? This is the virtual pillory, where extra blank lines in your code more than qualifies for severe mockery. On top of that, just mentioning anything even remotely related to penises is like pouring sheep's blood in a tank of already agitated sharks.

We have a number of genders available by default (medical software). Male, Female, Unknown, Other, and Refused to Specify. There are actually good reasons (for us) to do a similar (yet less WTF-y) "not-male" check. Any gender except male shows warnings about requiring pregnancy tests before certain procedures, for example.
Could you please fix that shit?! It is really annoying to be constantly reminded of the fact that I can't get pregnant. I think it's time for the software to recognize the "Sex=male + gender=female" situation (and the other way around).
It would be hard (and potentially risky) to change:
1. A hospital system can exchange information with hundreds of other systems at the hospital, plus exchanging medical records electronically with other facilities. By far the majority of those systems you're sharing data with will have no equivalent concept; you need to figure the best way to send this out, and more importantly, accept it in correctly.
2. That would easily confuse many users; having two fields which were almost always the same but occasionally different, and then having to remember which one gets the "M" and which the "F" would be prone to accidentally reversing the data entry.
In the end, it's about erring on the side of caution. If you ask someone about pregnancy unnecessarily, you might annoy them. If you neglect to ask about pregnancy incorrectly, you might kill the fetus or cause lifelong harm, not to mention open the door for a massive lawsuit. Hospitals are highly sensitive to that - it's not uncommon to be asked about pregnancy three or four different times over the course of having one procedure done. It's not that they don't already know you answered the question ten minutes ago, it's that they're legally liable if they don't ask and something goes wrong.

Is the fetus a christian? Because I know a three letter """"""""""""""""news"""""""""""""""" network that might argue against that premise.
