Nothing new under the sun...20. 1:9 - "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isa 5:20

This is as credible and plausible an explanation for the proliferation of absurd yet authoritative claims that I've seen. The only thing for it is to insist on common-sense wherever these absurdities are encountered. For example, if the doctor's office has that ridiculous verbiage about 'assigned gender', just tell the doc or write on the form that it's impossible to have any confidence in a medical practitioner who doesn't understand basic biology. Little things like that add up.
