The rule contiues:
However, sleeves of EACH INDIVIDUAL player shall be approximately the same length and shall not be ragged, frayed or slit.
Again, to me, this says that while they can determine their own sleeve length, they can't have a long sleeve on the right arm and a short one on the left arm.
This rule does NOT (IMO) discuss the TEAM'S sleeve length - but the INDIVIDUAL.
If you go up to 3.2.1 it states something about Uniforms of all team members which is clearly different verbage from the words individual players.
I promise you in my game, if a girl wants to wear long sleeves and another girl on the same team wants to wear short - by my interpretation of the rule, I have no problem.
