I remember reading an article about 10 years ago how do it right. I don't know if it is still up to date. But they suggested: Man, Woman, Other, "Do not want to specify".
There might be some exceptions, like an airline won't accept a non-binary gender because of safety (weight distribution estimation). For a dating site it might make sense to allow anything.

Some planes have weighing systems built into the landing gear but most passenger flights are WAY under max weight (Airbus can tell the pilots if the weight/balance once underway doesn't match what the computer was told).
