My position on this is one of the reasons why my gender's not out online; because it matters to me that it should not matter, and really, it isn't relevant to anyone except medical professionals interacting with me in their professional capacity and some of the people who might be interested in getting involved with me (though one of my current sweeties has said they fell in love with me without my physical gender mattering, so not all).
I think it depends on what it seems necessary to distinguish the person one is discussing from, and the assumptions underlying that for different people are worth querying.
