I note from today's Telegraph that one can self-identify as a cat - and anyone mocking this is, obviously, despicable (along the lines of 'don't you laugh at my mule'). What I want to know is, if you identify as a cat, do you then qualify for half-price bus fares and do you have the right to sit on people's laps and brush round their legs without a by-your-leave?
The world has gone barking mad! Absolutely no scientific evidence to support this nonsense of gender identity. It was only a matter of time until the ‘cat’ ‘dog’ ‘dinosaur’ etc etc etc began appearing as an identity. I’m so glad I’m past caring about being cancelled or having my view challenged. Men and women until science evidences differently.
Ah, now mushrooms are different - there's been many a time that I've felt like a mushroom! As for animals, perhaps it's a passing thing that will die out when the realisation dawns that employment legislation applies only to humans.
I agree the world has gone mad, a five year old I would not be a worry as they often have weird ideas.
Unless the child has some form of mental problem it is entirely wrong that any secondary school or teacher condones such thoughts
