Your job application mentions your statutory obligations under the Equality Act and correctly has sex in a list of the protected characteristics under the Act.
However...

However, you then ask "Please choose the option which best describes your gender identity" with options:
Male
Female
Transgender.

'Gender identity' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology, but you don't ask for that.

'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.

'Gender identity' relies on demeaning, regressive stereotypical notions of societal roles for the two sexes, concepts that I'm sure you would not wish to be associated with.
So I wrote back to @lucyfrazermp for another go. Here\u2019s my letter.

They don\u2019t understand how serious this is.
If they can\u2019t tell us the oFPR, our PCR testing is worthless. (thread) pic.twitter.com/zHJ8SJCzf1
Without this information it’s impossible to interpret any result. If the oFPR is 4%, for example, and if the true prevalence is 0.3% (it’s probably less), then for every 10,000 tests, 400 positives would be false & 30 positives would be genuine. So 93% of positives are false.
As Mr Fordham points out, almost all policies pivot on PCR mass testing. Hancock previously admitted on talkRADIO to Julia Hartley-Brewer in late summer that the FPR was “just under 1%”. That was a flat lie (possibly inadvertent but he’s never corrected the record). The reason...
...we are sure Hancock told a lie is that they have never known the FPR. Those including Hancock who believe that the oFPR can be estimated by inspection of the lowest positivity ever recorded, while logical, is completely wrong. Changes in personnel, throughout, testing...
...architecture & the like can radically alter the oFPR. Since Hancock’s remark in late summer, PCR mass testing has moved into the Lighthouse Labs & this creates a new & urgent need to continually assess oFPR. I’ve good reason to believe it’s now VERY much higher now that the...
Conservatives are using the Texas power chaos to argue against climate policy even as fossil-generated power outages dwarf the amount of renewables knocked offline during the historic deep freeze. President Biden and progressives have been slow to respond.https://t.co/UajKhptEAU

It relied on very little wind energy - that was the plan. It relied on a lot of natural gas - that was the plan. It relied on all of its nuclear energy - that was the plan. 2/x
There was enough natural gas, coal and nuclear capacity installed to survive this event - it was NOT "forced out" by the wind energy expansion. It was there. 3/x
Wind, natural gas, coal and nuclear plants all failed to deliver on their expectations for long periods of time. The biggest gap was in natural gas! The generators were there, but they were not able to deliver. 4/x
It may be fair to ask why there is so much wind energy in ERCOT if we do NOT expect it to deliver during weather events like this, but that is an entirely different question - and one with a lot of great answers!! 5/x
Even when they join insurrection, pummel through the doors that held back the mob from the upper echelons of the govt, white women are still remembered for the best versions of themselves.\xa0Women who joined ISIS were never afforded such audacious innocence https://t.co/lUATVA7oZn

and i know that scholars/academics HAVE looked at the role that white women play within white supremacy. on my to read list:
and women of color academics and organizers have produced the longest most detailed analysis of white women and their complicity.
what i'm talking abt is their explicit radicalization-or willingness to be more explicit abt support of white supremacy in a post911 world. that analysis has almost exclusively centered white men, occasionally men of color, almost never white women.
at least that i've seen. i'd be interested in any resources people may know about.
The EEO section of your job application has 'gender' in what appears to be a list of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act, but that is not on your list.
'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.

You then ask for the 'gender' of the applicant with options:
