Two problems here, not that the ruling judge will have possessed the insight to realise them.
First, the basis for this is that men and only men call women "birds" , once again disenfranchising women by removing their agency in a subject.
Second, related to the first, what are they going to do when women ["self identify"]/call themselves "birds"? Are "hen parties" now sexist? What about "ducky"? Or "chicks"/"chick-a-dee"?
What about when it's particular ethnic groups making the comments?
Meta commentary on my post: as the questions go on and on the judge, and those connected to pushing for this, will realise they've fucked up and they'll likely be thinking how to backtrack on this before it actually gets tested in ways they didn't want it to be.
As with almost any modern day standards to determine whether sexism/racism is taking place, it will be entirely inconsistent and based on the idea that women can never be sexist but men definitely are if a woman feels it to be the case, which is a position so thoroughly baked into the mindset of the left and, frankly, much of the right, that the idea that they're being hypocrites or might have to walk this back to maintain the illusion of gender-blind rule of law won't even occur to them.
