Furries in schools

I have name changed for this. Forgive me if this isn't the right board but I need to talk this through to get my head around this.

Another parent has just told me there is a furry community of young people at her dc secondary school which is in my city and an ordinary comprehensive.

The school is humouring the accessories and so on and they now have a designated room in the school to congregate. Apparently there was a request for a litter tray in the toilets though this was denied (google tells me this aspect might have been a hoax attempt).

The secondaries around here are super strict with uniforms. How is this allowed???

So I'm told some children will only respond in animal noises.

I knew what a furry was before. What adults do for fun is none of my business. But this in schools???? Or have I been under a rock?

Yep, this is happening in DS secondary school too. The young girl in question identifies a cat/dragon hybrid and has so far been allowed to scratch my son on the arm for attention (he came home with literal claw marks on his arm and blazer), is allowed to sit on top of the desks during lessons and has a litter tray.

Absolute madness.

This has to be a load of bollocks surely 😅😅
If I was a parent I'd be having the national media round to do an interview

🤣

So you're telling me that a pupil in your child's school assaulted them in class.

They got away with it?

But instead of going to the school, and subsequently going to the press, if this was actually true, you are just posting about it on an online forum?

Also, they have a litter tray... Which presumably they use?

Where is it? Is it in the toilets? You would genuinely expect us to believe this.

I don’t know if this case is true but I do know it is happening. A close friend’s Dd is in Y7 at a highly selective girls school (I’m not going to give location) and there is a furry room. Her Dd thinks it’s all nonesense and wants nothing to do with it, so doesn’t know what goes on in there, but it is happening.

Edited

If there had been a secretive "furry room" at my school, I would have been devoting 110% of my energies to getting in there and finding out what was going on. These days I get to call it professional curiosity instead of terminal nosiness....but it all comes from the same place.

I am disappointed in your daughter. Ask her to at least have a peek in and report back 🤣🤣🤣

ItsFunToBeAVampire · 30/04/2024 13:44

Realistically, what evidence could there be?

It's not as if you can (or should) take photos of kids and plaster them online as proof, so of course it's going to be hearsay at this point.
At one time, it was denied that boys with a trans identity were getting changed with girls, and look where we are now.

Also, please don't compare asking for credible evidence, with denying that something exists.

It is completely reasonable for somebody to ask for credible evidence, it's extremely dangerous when people don't have credible evidence for their assertions.

See the recent 'Lexi' case.

My DD has seen it. My friend's daughter has seen it. My teacher friend has seen it. The parents on my local Facebook group have seen it. People on this thread are saying they have experienced it.

Maybe think about why you're so keen to deny people's experiences of this when you would accept them in other situations.

Our local school has of course denied it is happening - they would, wouldn't they? Its not as if authorities ever deny that uncomfortable things are happening within them is it?

I agree.
If schools and teachers are willing to lie to parents about their kids transitioning in schools, why wouldn't they lie about this?
Once you lie about one thing, I'm going to doubt everything else you say.

Jux · 30/04/2024 13:38

Why on earth are schools allowing adult sex fantasies to pervade their classrooms? It's ridiculous.

Seen what exactly though? You're not actually saying what they have seen.

LakeTiticaca · 30/04/2024 13:37

Please Sir, I now identify as a cat and from now on will enter school on all fours wearing a collar with a bell
Sir: no you won't. Get back to class
See, it's quite easy 😆

Who the hell is Dr JU.

Where is the credible evidence that this is happening in British schools? Not the 2 1/2 hour long video by some American psychologist.

Perfect28 · 30/04/2024 13:32

@ManchesterBeatrice it's so frustrating how people just peddle bs without thinking about the consequences. I'm a teacher and my colleagues were telling me this exact same story 'from another school, a friend of a friend told me', they were actually quite aggressive about it. It's worrying, the lack of critical thinking.

This is one of the oldest pieces of fake news there is going, spend 3 minutes on Google OP

It's been debunked, so many times…

ManchesterBeatrice · 30/04/2024 13:30

Boombatty · 30/04/2024 13:28

Yes I don't understand why some people are so invested in denying this is happening.

But where is the actual evidence that is happening?

I don't think they are being given litter trays but don't you think the fact that these kids want to wee and poo in a litter tray as school is more than a little worrying!?

ManchesterBeatrice · 30/04/2024 13:27

Is it not just a silly tribe, a bit like being an Emo, or a hippy, I say that to someone who identified as a hippy in school. What I mean is kids have always grouped themselves and tribes, who cares.

Show me any evidence where pupils are actually being given litter trays.

itsmeagainagain · 30/04/2024 13:19

All you posters who don’t believe this is happening in schools are in for a big shock either when your own children attend school or if someone you know in real life confirms it. My DD has at least one furry in her school. She hisses at other children and gets completely endulged from what I hear my child telling me. I also have a daughter at senior school who says there are several furries there and she avoids them. What is this world coming to? It seems the only thing wrong any more is calling something ‘wrong’

This is the same in my school. One person bit another and the parents said she couldn't be punished as she 'was just expressing her natural animal instincts'. I shit you not!

Sounds like that one needs to be muzzled and on a short leash.

I am seeing more teens wearing kitty ears (usually attacked to headphones/ear defenders).

I remember buying these years and years ago for my niece!

There is definately a whole culture of infantilising/refusing to grow up, isn’t there?

Last person I saw with kitty ears was a young man (all age teens/early 29s) dressed like a toddler in pastel links and blues with loads of badges and ear defenders/kitty ears. He was very tall and rather chubby.
