I don’t know much about the whole F/M sex option so I can’t really comment in case I get something wrong or misinterpret. I would say though that a simple ‘Male, Female, Other’ option works fine, and if they need to know their biological sex then just change the wording of the question to ‘gender assigned at birth’.
