For it to be transphobia Broussard would have to be treated differently from other biological females just for identifying as a man.

That's not transphobia. Transphobia would be if he was treated differently from other men, like not being allowed to wear what men wear or use the men's restroom.

I've never heard of different dress codes for different gender identities ever having been a thing, seems like it must be a recent phenomena that has risen with the popularity of the gender identity as a concept if that’s a thing. I would be against forced dress codes based on gender identity too, just as I’m against forced dress code based on sex.

Gender and sex in this case are used interchangeably. The state of NY and the NYCDOE use the term gender.

If a principal said all female students are allowed to wear trousers but made an exception just for female students who identify as boys/men and said they have to wear dresses, that wouldn't be transphobia to you? I find that surprising as I would see that as very transphobic.

The biological female was treated differently from biological males for being female, that's sexism, not transphobia, as the difference in treatment is based on sex, not being trans (unless there is something suggesting they forced out woman-identifying males to wear the female dress code too just for being trans, while non-trans people were allowed to wear what they wanted).
