Child identifies as a wolf ... WTF?

Just on Radio 4 now, discussing a child in secondary school who identifies as a wolf, and the school is going along with this. AIBU to think the world (or at least the UK) has gone mad? If said child is living in the woods, catching its own prey etc etc, howling and running with other wolves, which I doubt, then why the hell is anyone going along with it? They are also saying that some others identify as dogs or cats etc. And here was me thinking men 'identifying' as women was bad.

But why not?

What did we think would happen if our leaders nod along saying a man can be a woman.

If one impossible thing, then why not others!

This is where the madness has led us.

Wait until one of the bolder pupils identifies as the headteacher and starts expelling the pupils they don’t like and ordering the to lunch staff to only make pizza 😂

I’ve heard that their are children at our local secondary identifying as a cat, they wear ears and a tail and go to the loo on the grass.

Then they want a sharp boot applied to their arses without any further ado,

The world has gone bonkers... Maybe the school cook should offer up a dead rabbit and tell them to eat it all up or they will get detention..

Why does a cat need to go to school?

There was a thread about this Therian/furry nonsense a while back. Some posters saying it was cute and innocent! Buying their kids "fur suits" and letting them talk in furry chat rooms.

Thankfully, the majority could see it for what it was (an adult fetish that children had accidentally got involved in). Also rather sad that children of a higher age (12 in some cases) were reverting back to this sort of stage of play (as they were apparently unaware of the sexual side of things).

It's ridiculous, OP. But there'll probably be a few who think it's innocent and normal. 🙄

I hope the child is receiving help with their mental health.
Seriously doubt it. Probably a two year waiting list.

I can understand identifying with an animal, but not as an animal; and if you do identify strongly with an animal, I don't think external validation is necessary.

Why is a wolf in school? What if other children are scared of wolves? Allergic? Can the wolf eat the pupils and staff?

I'm not about to listen to it, does it sound believable?
I've not ever heard a first hand believable account of this nonsense.
I want to believe it's true though because if a boy can become a girl by stamping his feet and blinking twice or whatever bullshit, then why not a cat or tiger or wolf
Bring it on, expose the nonsense.
I identify as an old lady, where is my pension, cup of tea and grandbaby???
