I’ve been asked my dog’s gender for a course we’re going on

I’m thinking ‘trans cat’?

Or should this be in The Doghouse board? Confused Either way, I feel like there’s no escape from this madness.

Here’s Maggie. She was assigned female at birth but as you can see she identifies as a twat sometimes as well.

Mine mainly identifies as a twat 🤨

I so want to see the TV commercial for Dior's Sausage.
Obviously the digging in the desert part wll have to stay in.

Sausage dogs do smell nicer than most other types, and they're good at digging

Really?

I wonder what will happen if I scoop up a random miniature dachshund in the street and start sniffing it.

This is really Becontree. It's two stops beyond Barking.

I enjoy the word bitch, not only does it mean you have the upper hand, it gives you a good idea who to stay away from.

Heliotroper · 07/10/2023 11:41

Female dogs are probably misgendered more often than transwomen

And they get called bitches

quantumbutterfly · 07/10/2023 11:34

I watched the Ruth Bader Ginsberg biopic ' on the basis of sex' where it was considered polite to use the term gender as the word sex was too prurient. We all know separation of the meaning of those 2 words has allowed bad actors to step in and muddy the waters.
I say we reintegrate the words and use the word identity for accuracy. My cat is currently identifying as solar powered and on charge, we're very eco here.

Haha I can beat that - pet insurance quote asked me to say the dog's gender. They of all people should understand that's the wrong question.....

Course is scent work. Go with that where you will…

If you put female, they will prob use Miss Dior or some such; if you put 'male' they will use Johnny Depp's Sauvage (or the dog variant, Sausage).

I'm sure there are plenty of non-binary fragrances they can work with, if you indicate this is your dog's preference.

Grrrrr/wuff?

Deathraystare · 07/10/2023 10:58

Tell them your dog took umbrage that you even had to ask and that it should be obvious so 'They' are now having a hissy fit and not speaking to you.

BabyStopCryin · 07/10/2023 10:45

Our old bitch definitely self IDed as the Queen of Sheba.

Our Irish vet refers to our dog as ‘a little monkey’ so she has definitely transed species. He’s lovely but we do find it amusing.

Definitelyrandom · 07/10/2023 10:11

Our retired greyhound is neutered, so is “he” transitioning? Otherwise “he” definitely identifies as a domestic cat at home and a cheetah when he runs.

Chersfrozenface · 07/10/2023 09:33

Of course we all know that the question means sex but whoever framed the question has gone all queasy about the word 'sex:.

Everywhere you look it's "boy dog" and "girl dog" - can't use the word "bitch". But i thought that was just some ordinary people being mimsy. I'd have thought anyone running a course would be proper dog people and use words like "sex" and "bitch".

What next? Classes at the Royal Welsh Show for "Lady Holsteins"?

I know you were joking about your dog being a “trans cat” but I did actually have a puppy whose mother abandoned the whole litter and he was the only puppy to survive. So we fostered him and he was raised by or cat. He played like a cat (with the cat), he pounced on toys like a cat, he didnt bark but “rumbles” like he’s trying to purr and when he is vocal his yips are mimicking cat loud meows for food, washed himself like he was a cat.

My parents had a dog whose mother raised a litter of kittens with her puppies,she did not like other dogs at all.

Cats though,they were her people.

Ahh yes silly me. I think he might need to contact IT about more space on his email signature.

Kind regards,

Cat

With scent training the males have different noses to females I think, so it's not as daft as it seems for them to ask.

What the others said. His sex is male - his gender is who the heck knows, he’s a dog.

Or is he…

Awwwthays adorable

Show quote history

He was an adorable dog. He and our cat always slept together. We ended up adopting him permanently because they bonded so well and he and cat lived to a ripe old age.
