I think that most of us who are gender-conventional aren't trying to be hurtful or annoying; we don't know, in the moment, what is and isn't going to cause someone else a problem. Sadly, the burden of educating others always falls on the minority who's trying to get through to the majority.
Most of the time, when forms demand to know my sex (or gender) there's no reason for them to have that information. Even though I can definitively answer that question for myself, I tend to leave it blank when possible and choose random values when not. If they ask irrelevant questions, I'm not going to feel bad about messing up their data mining.
