    If that was it, they could just have obtained a signed affidavit from the parents and perhaps their doctors

    A trans person could take advantage of the same mechanism, which is why it’s not allowed. They care more about hurting trans people than they worry about the few cis kids that fall through the cracks. This kid was just acceptable collateral damage in their culture war.

      It is allowed. Doesn’t matter if the trans person takes advantage of the same mechanism, the difference would be they would be the ones liable for lying. That’s what an affidavit does, transfers and diminishes liability.
