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."

Why don’t you just tell her to stop it 🙄. You aren’t going to damage her for life by telling her to just behave.

@ASighMadeOfStone 💯 this.
Now stop flicking your tail and get to work....

What sort of proof do you want? If you had proof, you'd only say that it's a breach of confidentiality, anyway. There is an entire thread on FWR of things that 'weren't happening', until they were. People are telling you it is happening at their school. Stop accusing women on here of lying.

A 50 year old man in Canada identifies as a 13 year old girl, and has been competing with 13 year old girls in their swimming team, and changing with them. And, it's completely allowed! I bet people thought that 'wasn't happening', too, until a news report proved it did.

These days, the world is so fucked up, it's out fucked itself. Batshit crazy has been out batshit crazied. The jumped the shark has had a shark jump over it. That's how fucked up it all is. People on here so bloody blind.

For God’s sake - this litter box thing is the urban legend that just won’t die. What do people get out of propagating this nonsense?

No it was her twin cousins Lemonjello and Oranjello 😁

Why are people so desperate to call the OP a liar? My best friends cousin is a ‘furry’ and she’s 9 and has a clip on tail.
Why so hard to believe?

When I was in primary school, in the 80s, there was a boy who loved frogs. A popular boy, well-liked, smart, good at sports, an all-rounder. His name was Ben, but he was known as frog. He actually used to frog-hop along the pavement. I was in awe of how he did it, if I tried, my legs would have hurt and I would have looked awkward. But he did it so well!! And, this was in the '80s.

I work in different school and in one school I admired a girls nails and asked her if she was allowed them in school as they were quite long acrylic ones. She shrugged and said ‘ if they say anything I’ll just tell them I identify as a unicorn and these are my hooves’ 😂 kids are just seeing how far they can get with it most of the time. Can’t actually believe any child has demanded kitty litter to somehow wee in in their school toilets though. Or that any school would oblige with such a request.

I'd tell the cheetah identifying child that her kin don't use litter trays. That'll learn her.

Your best friends cousin is not a furry. She's an overindulged child allowed to go to school with a dressing up item.

Conflating men pretending to be women so that they can perve and indulge their sexual fantasies with this fake news (and exposed as fake news regularly) isn't helpful.

Therians

In general, furries are individuals who say they are furries. Therians are individuals who believe they are not completely human and instead identify as a species of non-human animal

Of course they don't! Anyone with any sense can see that.
The truth doesn't seem to get in the way of inflammatory falsehoods, though.

Your best friend's daughter is a little girl enjoying dressing up play and being allowed to wear her dressing up clothes for school.

That's all. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing new under the sun.

See: fancy dress parties, Halloween parties, nativity plays, pantomimes.

Dressing up is a healthy part of pretend play. Adults deciding that the child dressing up as Cinderella/her cat/a pumpkin is self-identifying as one, is not.

My daughter was a piece of chocolate cake at primary school. Thankfully I'm not stupid enough to contemplate for a second she might actually be one. The "naughty" person in our house when she was little- the one that broke things, and lost things, and didn't tidy up, was a (female) train called Donald. Funnily enough, s/he doesn't exist anymore either.

We really are the laughing stock of other countries with this fucked up logic. It's time that adults started adulting.

(For the record, I'm in a medium large secondary school. Been there 11 years. To my knowledge, in my time here, we have had 2 trans students. One M2F, one F2M. No furries. Obviously.)

Because these activities are not encouraged nor supported by schools.
Maybe you know a child who has a clip on tail.
Identifying as anything other than a human child is something of a leap (no matter how feline).
It's not happening.
On two previous threads I asked posters to pm me the names of schools, where it is happening allegedly - in confidence, so that I could look up their policies.
Tumbleweed.....

The furry and therian craze is all over Reddit, with some quite disturbing characters living the self ID life as their chosen identity. This spills into real life via vulnerable/impressionable children who are allowed too much free internet use. There are noises to have these identities accepted under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.

What is usually ignored are the links to porn and paedophilia found amongst the hardcore self IDers. The ones sharing their cutesy art and cosplay tips to impressionable youngsters.

Overlooking the huge glaring red flags and safeguards is very common when it comes to identity stuff, because they’ve cleverly aligned themselves with LGB.

Within schools though if they’re going to accept that girls can become boys and vice versa why not accept cats and unicorns? They’re all as delusional and make believe as each other, and all leave our children at risk of poor safeguarding in the name of progress.

Yes, this what I immediately thought of. Regardless of whether children are pretending to be animals, the claim of cat litter trays sounded like an import from the US. Where, as you say, it is a right wing dog whistle to stir up rage about "what schools are teaching our kids" while ignoring the reality that some schools are providing it because there are so many school shootings (and the kids might need the loo while hiding in their classroom). The normalisation of which is truly horrifying.

We used to play at being horses in primary school. The first part of the game was descriptive (I'm a palomino pony <tosses mane>) and then run round neighing. Skipping ropes for reins were the only accessory needed. We read horsey books and were quietly jealous of the one girl who had riding lessons.

If kids are trying it on by extending this beyond the playground (or possibly story writing), surely the staff behave like boring adults and tell them they need to conform to normal uniform requirements, that they can play whatever imaginative games they like in break but they need to behave properly in class and corridors?

@SuziQuinto why on earth would anyone pm you details like that? You are a stranger on the internet!

A local college (16+) has a thriving furry community that allows students to wear what they want. Colleges are different to schools though.

Because it's just the name of a school.
I can't trace the poster.
However, I can look at the policies.
One person on another thread wanted help on something to do with her teenage daughter. She sent me a pm and I helped her out. She was appreciative. I still have no idea who she is. Nor do I want to.

I’m curious to know if the OP has just made this up, or if OP has heard it from someone else and believed.

They certainly are

That's not new, it was a thing twenty years ago. And it has nothing to do with wanting litter boxes in schools.

Well, there's an easy fix for that isnt there? Cheetahs dont use cell phones or watch tv. They get hours of exercise every day so they can do that too.

No cell phone, no tv, no x box, and hours of running every day- its what cheetahs do.

I suspect they might change their minds astonishingly quickly.
