The primary purpose of bureaucracy is to avoid accountability and responsibility. That is why the French invented it ;-).

I point out logical inconsistencies. To suggest a child in primary school has sufficient judgement to make an informed, responsible decision regarding permanent physical changes via surgery or hormone therapies while then assert the same child lacks the judgement to make an informed, responsible decision about what to eat for lunch is a logical inconsistency.

I noticed at a young age (Jr. High) that school administrators do not know how to handle logic. Pointing out the illogical (and irrational) policy assertions got me suspended several times and expelled once. Though at least one of those suspensions it might have been the delivery terminology (when pointing out a logical and/or factual error by a teacher, the term "bullshit" is apparently unacceptable from a 7th grade student, well it was 50 years ago at least ;-).
