It actually turns out that cargo culting the language of social justice works about as well as the sovereign citizen idiots that cargo cult legal jargon -- both of these phenomena exist in a broad, clear social context and it's laughably obvious when someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, like you, attempts an "incantation" with the idea that it's magic words because they don't or can't understand what's actually happening.

You can tell from a single comment?

I know what's up. That why I made the comment. It's more about what is said than the actual content of the statement itself.

If I did the above, and someone made a stink, I'd hit 'em with "Are you denying my lived experience?" and then reaffirm the validity of my self identity (which is what matters) over what I actually am to observers (which is immaterial and doesn't matter).

I think you overestimate the intelligence and free-thinking ability of bureaucrats and other political-correctness devotees. When a group decrees an arbitrary gender-balancing rule like 50-50, in a field that's 90-10 male, cynical types can absolutely manipulate them to their advantage. In my opinion it's just more proof that the only fair system is a blind meritocracy (or random lottery).

Blind meritocracies are rarely blind enough, and end up being an old boys club.
