We informed the parent that documentation such as a chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in accordance with policy.

I cannot imagine being the dumbass who said that with a straight face.

I don't understand why it's the school asking for this and not whoever updated the birth certificate? How did school administrators become the judges of who is a boy or girl?
