Just posting this update here because I could not find a recent definitive answer online to this...
You currently cannot add the standard '
Gender Identity
' picklist field to a web to lead form - not even if you have the right API version and it is accessible to your Profile on the Lead and Contact objects.
SF Support reported back to me today:
"
Upon checking this internally with my team and tried the same in my demo org.
found that Gender Identity & Pronoun Fields(Standard fields) aren't supported yet for Web to Leads. It is working as designed & that's why this field is not listed in the "Available Fields" list in Setup-->Web-to-Lead when you are generating HTML for a new web-to-lead form."
The work-around suggested is the same one you need to implement for Birthdate for Web to Lead - create a custom field, and then a Flow to update the standard field when your custom field gets populated. Then you can map the standard field to the standard Contact field in your Lead mapping setup.
