    We informed the parent that documentation such as a chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in accordance with policy.

    I cannot imagine being the dumbass who said that with a straight face.

      I don’t understand why it’s the school asking for this and not whoever updated the birth certificate? How did school administrators become the judges of who is a boy or girl?

        My (cis female) birth certificate erroneously was filled out with “male”. Same error happened on the birth certificate of my mother (who is also cis female). It’s never caused either of us any problems. Schools enrolled us as female, driver’s licenses say female, etc.

        When I was in college in the early 2000s, my dad’s mother helped me get a copy of my birth certificate, and was horrified her beautiful granddaughter was listed as male. She called up the county clerk and raised Cain, and then informed me it had been corrected. I’ve never needed to get a fresh copy since then, so I don’t know for sure, but it sounded like the word of an angry old lady was enough to get an update filed.

          Do they use drunkards to fill out important registration forms in the US?

            There’s something like thirty boxes of information on the thing, and all the others are correct. I suspect whoever was typing it (on a typewriter - this was pre-computers) had several in a row that really were male babies and just got that stuck in their head.

          Angry old ladies are the single scariest force on the planet.

          Because if you make one angry, then you have to answer to all of their friends, family, caretakers, religious leaders, and bingo dealers.

            They are also the reason why we are in this situation in the first play. Angry old lady energy serves both justice and tyranny.

      Did anyone inform the administration that documentation such as chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in participating with the human race? Because it seems like they might be a slime mold, based on their integrity and decision-making ability.

      Feels like malicious compliance to me. But who knows.

      Edit: For those downvoting, someone else in the comments pasted a quote about a law that was passed in that state. So I was just speculating that maybe they were maliciously complying to show how ridiculous it is.
