You’re right. Remember the incident where a first or second grader (really young kid, at least) was suspended because he nibbled around on his peanut butter sandwich to form it into the shape of a gun? The principal said they had a no-tolerance policy. What? They won’t tolerate a child doing childish things? That’s an example of PC going too far.
Once, back in eighth grade, preparing to take one of those aptitude tests, our teacher started giving instructions on how to fill out the forms (name, age, et. al.). When she came to the part about choosing male or female, she joked that if we weren’t sure, she would try to help us figure it out. And she really was joking then. Nowadays, such a statement might well be uttered in all seriousness. They say that there’s truth in jest, but sometimes jest can become truth!

Yes there are always those who get easily offended. But sometimes this just gets absurd, creating controversy where there is none.

If it’s ‘wrong’ to gender identify then why is it okay to laugh at a confusion faux pas?

If you believe everything that Snopes says, then you have more problems than can be addressed here!
