Huh?

Do you mean that they ask about gender? If so, you are a weird apple if that's how you interpret that.

Gender question is separate. They also ask about sexual preference/orientation.

bc research.

check the obscure boxes you’ll get interviews for sure.

Is this a meme you saw on a Facebook group and assume it’s true because now you’re angry about so it has to be true?

Wasn't asked this in an interview. It was part of an application.

And yes, it wasn't as direct :P

but still feels weird for them to ask.

To be clear diversity questions like this (and those about race, class etc) area asked in the UK (and i think the EU) though its all anonymised and doesn't effect your application in any way

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.
