At this point I would just disregard their form and click 'other' - pretend to be that gender identity that identifies with not being labelled with a gender identity. Or just make up your own! You're valid.

Yes, I'm selecting "prefer not to disclose" under "gender identity" at the very least. When I'm up to it, I will ask why "sex" was removed as a category if the whole idea is that "sex and gender are different." The other thing that's weird with saying "LGBTQ+ status" is are they really asking intersex people to disclose their medical conditions for Christ's sake? What are they saying falls under that label "LGBTQ+" and what doesn't? Their definition of "transgender" is "your gender identity is different from your gender assigned at birth." So they seem to imply that gender = sex but then when you go to gender, the choices are male, female, and non-binary, so WTF. Obviously non-binary is not a sex and no one was "assigned" that at birth.

I have haemorrhoids. I'm normalising making our medical records public so as to be inclusive to intersex people.
