Arrrgh Crufts coverage - "the group is split by gender" 😩
What has happened to the descriptor word sex?

Maltese identifying is a Rottweiler here 🤣

I think one of my German Shepherds identifies as a cat, but only part time when she extends her claws into a knee to get attention... 😂

But surely removing balls doesn’t mean a dog is therefore sexless/genderless? In the same way removing a penis doesn’t make a man not a man. Or have I missed this?

True. Strange that the word is "neutered" though. Suggests a neutralising - like German gendered articles -masculine, feminine, and neuter!

How good of Crufts to be inclusive of all the dogs who don't identify with their birth sex. My dog, for instance, identifies as a supermassive black hole, uses the pronouns void/voidself, and consumes everything within reach.

🙄 non issue, obviously you know what they mean.

My boy dogs favourite toys are a pink toy flower and blue dinosaur and he also doesn’t cock his leg to wee, he wees like a girl dog. Is ‘they’ non binary? 🤣

Sex not gender!

My cat seems to identify as a dog. She copies our dogs behaviour, her meow is more of a growl and she plays fetch. I should have entered her for crufts as a trans dog.

My sibling has a female dog who lifts her leg to pee. But she likes pink though. Whatever could her gender identity be??

Mine is castrated
He knows that although his testicles have been removed that doesn't make him a bitch (female)
He is still Male- whatever his genitalia looks like.

I have an assigned-female-at-birth dog who likes to hump my other dogs. I don't know if she is sexually confused or gender dysmorphed or, you know, just being a dog.
