On my team, our lead programmer is biologically male but identifies as (and is considered by her friends to be) female. Under our school's policies, she is considered male and was placed in a room with male students.

I am a student on the team, so I have no knowledge of the full policy, only how it was implemented in this instance.

This took place in conservative Western New York, where attitudes toward LGBTQ+ people stray behind those in other parts of the nation (but are still ahead of some others).
