Just wanted to mention that there are plenty of people who find being required to state their gender objectionable. There is no reason for an online store to require this. 

And there are way too many online stores for me to waste my time on one that starts out with this. 

Incidentally, there are also people who would be unhappy with the date of birth thing.

Just a heads up from "a typical potential customer" type.
