Well then, we need to fire every teacher who uses "Bob" instead of "Robert" or "Liz" instead of "Elizabeth" then. Only then will they realize how stupid this is.

"I can't talk to you; I don't know your middle name."

hello fellow human student.

I've known a lot of people who go by their middle names because their first name is a family name (who they hate). Like if you call them by their first name, it's the equivalent of dead naming.
Some of those people are anti-trans.

I can definitely imagine that: there were so many “James” in my family. Then again, my brothers middle name was much worse so that may be a reason he never tried

Yes, that is certainly an intellectually consistent way to handle it.
Unfortunately, these laws were always meant to be selectively enforced, making the only real rule that whatever feels wrong to these people in the moment is against the law.
-
The actual rule is that any nickname must be approved by the parent before able to be used by the teacher
-
Ya, but it's only going to be enforced for trans students.

you can't have a rational approach to this. these people love the hypocrisy. they bathe in it. wallow in like a pig in shit.

That may be what happened in this case.
