I also don't think the bathroom counts as a school program or activity. Considering the fact there's no federal protection for bathrooms based on gender, I think they're reaching here. A state law may require it, but there's no federal law I know of that does
From what it looks like to me, they are stating that it would be sex discrimination because someone identifying as their gender being a woman but their sex being a male, if forced to use the male or unisex restroom, could be considered because of their sex. Since we are discussing someone whose gender and sex do not match the discrimination could be considered due to either one. So I can see their position's legitimacy in the law.
