It can be important.

However, in the modern world, we have grown past the oversimplifying
distinction between only two gender identities, male and female (the
recognition of a third gender, neither male nor female (hijras), in e.g. the
Indian society since historical record keeping (Kama Sutra period, ca. 400
BCE to 200 CE) is evidence that not only non-binary gender identity is not a
new development, but this distinction has actually never been true for humans).

Users/customers will probably be offended, and will not use/buy, that do not
need to be offended, by the false dilemma put to them.  The clueless OP
should follow the example of major service providers and give their
users/customers an appropriate selection of choices (at the very least,
“Other”).

Not with javascript. Nonsense propagates like wildfire in this field.
