Twitter is being led today by woke scold Otto English, basically saying the whole story is a lie. There was no "cat gender", all made up, to humiliate the teacher amongst other things.
The whole story is a Dead Cat.
And reports from the likes of Kath Birbalsingh that this phenomenon not only exists but is widespread, is a lie, a confected culture war.
For me, the "cat thing" is the least interesting bit of the story. The same event could have happened several years ago with a pupil IDing as NB before this was well known, and Otto would say it's fake news/alt right spoiling for a fight.
The only thing that interests me. It's unreasonable to expert kids based in reality to have to kowtow to gender ideology, cat, dog, hamster, I don't give a fuck.
Yes, no kid IDing differently should be bullied or humiliated. But at same time no kid should be forced to accept spurious genders.
And no kid should be told to relent or take a hike.
Cat talk is missing the point. The iniquity of gender politics remains the story, as it has for a decade now.
