Why is the form asking for gender as a required field?

  It's probably just a language thing, so the forms can say "him" or "her"? Edit: or in support calls, they sometimes accidentally say "sir" to a woman etc., this might help with that.

    Or they are selling this info to a third party... I've heard of a story of a guy that used his British girlfriend's identity to sign up to one of your American internet (or cable) providers and than got a lot of spam for her, even though that's the only place he used her name. (Yes, I know this sounds like an urban myth, but I can dig up where I heard it straight from the guy, he has a podcast).
