When you break walls
Caveat: This doesn't directly apply to the school "guidance" because this wasn't a legally required confusion, but it still shows what can happen when you break borders and normalize confusion.

When I served on a jury in 2014, the case in question was a rich Saudi dickhead who engaged in a sort of trapping fetish with girls in a restroom. Grab** the girl, hold her against the stall door, dryhump her.

How did he get into the Ladies restroom without being instantly kicked out? Because the restroom was in a "gay" bar where cross-dressers frequently used the Ladies room. In other words, the dyslogic of Trans was part of the culture there. Saudi dickhead was NOT a crossdresser; he was firmly heterosexual. Stupid defense lawyer tried to claim he was homosexual, but it didn't work. His dryhumpees were always female.

If the Trans rules become part of written law, a jury wouldn't be permitted to toss out the stupid arguments about confusion. Stupid defense lawyer could invent a "gender" defined by the need to trap and dryhump women. The jury would then have to treat the victims as discriminatory bigots for complaining about Saudi dickhead's aggression. Humpy McHumpface*** was only expressing Humpy McHumpface's gender.

= = = = =

** Footnote 1: Humpy McHumpface is the official pronoun for the restroom-dryhump gender. I just defined it and you can't say I'm wrong.

*** Footnote 2: The crime was an obscure term that meant sexual assault. We had trouble with the definition because it was clear from various witnesses that quasi-sex was fairly common in this bar in the context of dancing. The grabbing and trapping made these actions special. The girls were not expecting to find a male in their restroom, and they weren't willing to be grabbed. In other words, assault was the relevant variable.
