Just Another Example of Carefully Chosen Words Obscuring the Situation

The science camp was contacted by parents concerned about a biological male occupying the same cabin as pre-teen girls.

The letter that was sent to parents contained this:

"Recently, a story about the practices and procedures here at Pali Institute were called into question by someone who inaccurately accused us of placing male staff members in cabins with our female students/campers.

This was based on unfounded assumptions by what we believe to be a concerned parent and their misunderstanding of the information we did provide."

But, as I understand it, a person who has begun the transitioning process is 'not a male', for legal purposes. Later in the letter, the camp clears up the situation:

"Please know that we will not place children in cabins with staff members that are not the same sex assigned at birth."

Look, the kids were concerned enough about the situation to question the 'staff member' about which sex 'they' were. My guess is that the person was a birth-female, in the process of transitioning to male. The carefully worded letter doesn't exclude that possibility, therefore, it's likely.

I'm getting tired of the 'not true, but, TECHNICALLY not false' statements that are so prevalent today. The releases are carefully crafted to be 'not false', yet convey a falsehood through dancing around the actual concern or facts.
