Is it? Sounds like an attempt to stop bigots from denying services based on gender.
In the specific case/context of IVF taken in isolation it may not even be that dumb, but taken as part of the overall "inclusive language" trend (birthing person, uterus haver, menstruator, chest feeding, etc.) it just adds fuel to the fire. Many women have been warning about this for several years
