It will change literally nothing except for a few cases where you have to prove discrimination or appropriately cater to someone who genuinely has a need.
Places will need processes to ensure they are appropriately handling this - to my surprise, Florida High School actually has a solid policy in place for several years. This is typical of what may be needed - it is not something someone is going to voluntarily going to go through.
Look for section 16-8 in this handbook
That's extensive. I could see a legal challenge because it's too extensive, but it would have to be a legal challenge.
I don't agree with the fundamental idea that gender if fluid, but I do think this will have to end up with the Supreme Court. When it does, it will have a series of tests attached to it like any other discrimination guideline.
Beyond that, though, I don't know what jurisdictions are supposed to do. The Supreme Court in 2020, so a conservative court, said that gender identity is a protected classification, along with race, biological sex, disability and orientation. So if that designation is to be clarified, it's going to require a) an event b) a lawsuit because of the event and c) everyone being willing to fight and pay for it to get to the Supreme Court. It won't be an easy answer, but it's one that the courts are going to have to deal with.
