For me it is logical to ask people coming into schools in US of ID, and the problem is the LACK of nuance and analysis/consequence of opening up women’s and girls spaces to anyone.

Other themes are nicely covered with nuance mostly, so the contrast in this is popping out as a very sharp contrast to that, which I think is the reason many react and wonder why this theme is not covered with the same touch of nuance and wish for due process.

His wife was already there with id, would it not have been reasonable for them to ask her "is this your husband?" and go from there?

That would depend on the rules and regulations, and would of course be easiest to do so.

If the mother and wife was there consoling the daughter she might not want to leave her to go and confirm the husband is who he claims to be. It might be logical, but that does not mean it’s empathetic these regulations.

And I’d really want the school to motivate how/why that process was done so-bur mostly I’d wish for there not to be a need for those rules and regulations. We’re not there yet though.

So for me the more pressing issue is still the part where rules were NOT followed, and women yet again came to harm.
