Actually, none of this is in anyway a choice. Orientation, gender, sex, none of it. How you identify yourself in terms of female/male/other is gender. The biological aspect is sex. Orientation is who you are attracted to sexually, and that is never a choice. I think you need to stop using "orientation" when you really mean to use "gender." And I'm afraid I don't see how gathering the statistics would influence anyone's "choice." Perhaps I misunderstand what you mean. As for saying too much, I think that's the point of the option, "Rather not say."
I'm just trying to tell you you're misusing those words.
