republican laws often give the final say to the loudest karen and the cost onto the schools.

My (cis female) birth certificate erroneously was filled out with "male". Same error happened on the birth certificate of my mother (who is also cis female). It's never caused either of us any problems. Schools enrolled us as female, driver's licenses say female, etc.

When I was in college in the early 2000s, my dad's mother helped me get a copy of my birth certificate, and was horrified her beautiful granddaughter was listed as male. She called up the county clerk and raised Cain, and then informed me it had been corrected. I've never needed to get a fresh copy since then, so I don't know for sure, but it sounded like the word of an angry old lady was enough to get an update filed.

Because their the ones who will be prosecuted under the law if they allow a kid to play on the wrong team.

From reading the articles about this: The birth certificate was already updated, no problem. The school, however, has its internal policy regarding "amended birth certificates". The school policy says this boy is to be treated as a girl, because his sex is F. It doesn't go any deeper than that. This is the hell of bureaucracy.
