Am I reading this right - someone who is non-binary can identify as lesbian but can't identify as a gay male? Or are they covered by "identifies as a member of the gay community" interesting that the NB situation is explicitly stated in the description of lesbian but isn’t referred to at all in the gay description.

I read that the person who signed this off is a transwoman.

Yes. This difference in the treatment is now quite common and such a clear sign of sexism or at least a difference in how inclusive the two sexes are supposed to be.

For two examples, here's Vanity Fair a year ago:

A lot of people are extremely upset about this because, among other things, they think the government should not get to treat 50% of the population like second-class citizens, and that pregnant people should be allowed to decide what to do with their own bodies, just like men can decide to, say, have a vasectomy without a bunch of elected officials weighing in.

And this is from last summer, too. The site later changed the language, but the url retains it:
