The law does not provide room for the birth certificate being mistaken I’m afraid.
And yes, there’s a chance the state could come after them, or some other parent or activist group could citing this law. Hence them attempting to shut down this potential liability. They can’t risk enforcement, so they won’t.
Gonna have to disagree on those chances (can’t help but notice the complete silence on the rest of the absurd laws on record with equally insignificant chances of getting prosecuted for that I linked for - too inconvenient to acknowledge?), and the law literally does, which is why the parents can get it corrected. It just takes time. The article literally states they are doing this.
Those other absurd laws aren’t remotely relevant, hence the lack of acknowledgement. Many are irrelevant or very old. There is a large movement in the US that seeks to demonize trans people in sports, and this law isn’t that old, so in the current political climate there’s definitely a non-zero chance it gets acted upon.
And that the law allows you to correct your birth certificate does not mean that the law assumes your future to-be-corrected certificate is currently legally valid. I’m sure they’ll get it resolved eventually, but at that moment the school felt they had to apply the law.

It definitely involves feelings.
