Why not?

IIRC, in Canada, its illegal to ask those questions during the application.

"A crossdresser can dress like a woman in the weekends, and dress like a man during the week. Who is the goverment to tell me to keep the same sex all the time?!!!1"

how about legally recognized "contextual gender", i.e. a woman while driving the car, a man while applying jobs etc...
