I feel the "male student" etc etc is mostly for clarity. Since this is an explanation letter, it kind of makes sense even if it's not technically correct.

I believe transgender people use the pronoun of their preferred gender regardless of their "stage" of transition - that is, regardless of genitalia. Some retain their birth genitalia forever, but will still identify as their preferred and not birth gender.

This a first step. We'll see what happens, but it's definitely interesting that it's happening at all, and makes sense it would be happening with a local rather than national. A pro, I suppose, for locals - that they can make these decisions without HQ (possibly older, possibly traditionalist, possibly letter-not-spirit rule keepers) input
