Just a note about the survey itself, since you ask the person's gender:
From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gender
"Usage notes
Since the 1960s, it is increasingly common — particularly in academic contexts — to distinguish between sex and gender, the former being taken as inherent biological distinctions and the latter as constructed social and cultural ones. See Wikipedia's article on the Sex and gender distinction."
The top two selections in the survey are for sex, not gender. It's annoying that people would rather be incorrect and say "gender" in common speech because they want to seem polite by not saying "sex". It's like confusing temperature and heat.
