Girls are in school identifying as

[SwordToFlamethrower]

Today, while discussing my daughter's welfare, the safe guarding officer we have been leasing with at my daughter's school told me that they have had girls coming into school identifying as Cheetahs and wanted kitty litter in the bathrooms.

SHE WASN'T JOKING.

There is seriously bad stuff happening to kids and we need to talk about it.

Cheetahs.

She followed by saying "you have absolutely no idea just how bad it is in school these days, there is much worse than that happening."

What a lovely poem

Even more that furries - the new trend is therianism. Look up therians.

Shouldn’t they have safeguarded this information? To protect the children in question? That is their role after all.

I have one colleague who's adamant that they had one girl identifying as a cat at her previous school on some days. No kitty litter, but wearing a collar and fake ears purchased by her mother.

ETA No, I've never seen it myself.

Good point.

I did have a group of girls in S1/Y8 playing at being unicorns for a while - but only at interval and lunch.

One of them had previously wanted to use a boy's name and wrote a story about someone wanting a binder, but she grew out of that. The unicorn thing happened afterwards, but it was very clear that they were just playing and having fun.

It's all the rage to identify as therian at my daughter's school. It's driving me bonkers having her scramble around on all fours constantly. As far as I'm aware though, no one has asked for litter trays.

I had to Google:

https://www.wikihow.com/What-Is-a-Therian

"someone whose theriotype (species with which they identify) is a frog might feel most fulfilled when hopping around and croaking"

🤔

😂😂😂

This is nothing new, and I have personal experience as we had this years ago when my daughter Sophie invited her friend who identified as a tiger over for tea. That fucker ate all our food and drank all the water in the taps. We had to take Sophie out to a cafe for tea. We then bought a huge tin of cat food in case the tiger came to tea again, but it never did. Ungrateful bastard.

😂

😂

Yes op we've all heard these urban legends about litter trays, kids identifying as past etc.

I await with anticipation kids identifying as a turkey twizzler so JAMIE Oliver can swing into action to once again rescue the nation's youth.

But other than that is she feline fine?

"I identified as a horse when I was at school, loads of us did

Except at that point it was called using your imagination and no one was using imaginative play to stir up anti-trans sentiment"

I see what you did there. But telling children they can be born in the wrong body is also imaginative play.
Telling girls who don't feel "feminine" (whatever that is) that they are literally boys is a rather strange game of make believe. A bit Peter Pan.

I have just searched for Therians on TikTok and it's quite a revelation.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has a lot to answer for.

They are also going to break their wrists and faces doing this stupid animal jump they all seem to do, THAT HUMANS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR.

The gullible people on here absolutely sure iT's NoT hApPeNiNg!!! There are none so blind, as those who refuse to see....

Lo. Good old Jamie!!

There was an exact same thread as this just last week.

Brilliant! 👏

😂 I wish my DD had been inspired by it to get into the poetry of TS Elliot rather than running on all fours.

The bigger issue would be your school has an unprofessional safeguarding officer, who is spreading nonsense.

I listened to a BBC Sounds thing which discussed this, but with an American focus. Uproar there about kitty litter in classes for kids identifying as cats. Sadly the truth was worse. They had cat litter in classrooms as a measure to deal with lockdowns if there was a shooter in the building.

@SwordToFlamethrower

Not sure where you live (presumably not the UK as we don't call our safeguarding staff "officers" here) and protocols regarding confidentiality may be more lapse, or non-existent, but the safeguarding person you spoke to has been seriously unprofessional, and you should absolutely report their comments. They have broken every confidentiality rule in the book and made their own negative feelings about the students they are employed to help public.

You say this person is liaising with your family. Do you wonder what they say about you and your child's issues (because presumably there are some, given you are on the safeguarding radar) to other parents?

You really need to report this dreadful person.

This is the kind of thread the press love to pick up and run with so the "safeguarding officer" might see her name in lights before long.

now, excuse me while I sit and lick my own arse and fix my ears on tight before going to work.

It's really not happening in schools.
People have been very insistent about it on other threads, but there is no proof.
Stop with the urban myths.
