I was prepared for this when I went to see an optometrist. I went to a local one, just a couple blocks away from me on purpose because I knew I wouldn't be able to drive home.
Even though I walked I also had someone with me who could help guide me home, because I was worried that the summer, midday sun would be too bright for me to bear, even with sunglasses, and I would not be able to see well enough to follow the path home. Everything turned out fine, but I'm glad I took the extra care anyways. It just wasn't nearly as bad as I had planned for it to be.
I've NEVER noticed this; but I did notice that my vision was getting worse over time, I finally went to an optometrist, and yeah, I needed a bit of correction, but I also found out I have an astigmatism. so that's something.
Lights don't look any different than they always have, no blooming or streaks or halos or star lines or anything; but I still have it, and it makes things blurry and it sucks.
The kid is, was, and always has been a boy, in every sense of the word. Both as their "biological" gender and their actual gender.
Some doctor fucked up and put "female" on the birth certificate. It was noted, corrected and now the birth certificate has been amended.
The USA part of all of this is that bureaucratic bullshit is prohibiting the school from recognising the fact that a mistake happened and allow the poor kid to participate like everyone else. He's stuck in limbo because some dickhead on a power trip who has a hard on for making life difficult for people who are different from them, made a short sighted decision to put such a policy in place, without comprehending that doctors are people who can make mistakes, exactly like the one in the OP. It's the bullshit bureaucracy that's very USA. It's the inflexible rules that are very USA.
The rules were made to punish trans people for daring to try to like who they are, instead of being miserable in the cast they were born into, and it bit them in the ass, inadvertently punishing one of "their own".
So yeah, trans rights, or lack thereof is the reason behind the problem, but the problem is affecting someone who is distinctly not trans.
I know there's doubt as to the validity of the claims. I only want to say this: when "AI" takes jobs, who is there to plug things in to make the "AI" machine go?
Sounds like Amazon fucked around and found out.... Allegedly.
