Probably record-keeping for the funders. We take a lot of demographic information that isn't really important for shelter business (like race, how long someone has been homeless, disability status etc.), but that the people with the money want to see before continuing to give us lots of money.

We're at least pretty good about allowing guests to access the services of their choice. Trans women are women when it comes to getting into one of our women's shelters, everything is done by self-identification, and we have pretty strict rules against transphobic behaviors.
