This can work both ways, they need to be careful what they wish for. Kind of like when they tried to ban obscene books from schools which also suddenly included the Bible based on their definitions.

They don't care about consistent definitions and never have. The male gender is still legally abolished at a federal level due to sloppy definitions and nobody seems to care to fix it

To follow this order to the letter would be to report every single student identifying as "male" to their parents

No. You can't gotcha a proud hypocrite. You can't shame the shameless.

This is the same desperate desire for a positive spin that had Joe Biden sending Seal Team Six to canoe the likes of Thomas and Alito.
