A sausage dog in a dress FFS. And these people want to be taken seriously?

Did the complainant identify as a preschooler? ... scrap that, a preschooler with a compliant dachshund and a dressing up box would be laughing her socks off

I've been worried for sometime that my dog identifies as a builder. This manifests itself as a desire to sit in the van whilst I go for materials and demand bacon sandwiches.
She does nothing else, construction wise, but is adamant she passes.

How much time and resources are being taken up with these hurt feelings.

Exhibit A, dachshund in a tutu with a bemused expression on his face.

Can you imagine the sad faced pooch on the front page of the tabloids ...

JellySaurus · 16/09/2024 17:31

Oh, I dunno...

Demanding that a male dog is a bitch makes as much sense as demanding that a male human is a woman.

If one, then why not the other?

Well done Elizabeth (am I the only one who wants to know just what her 'direct' comment was?)

And why TF inclusion is always expressed as being vicious to lesbians I do not know but it makes me 🤯

“Oh for fuck’s sake” is my guess!

It's 2024 and why am I still amazed that "really aggressive tone" are part of the evidence.

I'm busy raising my daughter's to drop the whole apologetic approach we used decades ago to protect fragile male egos and yet in court 'tone' is used for the women. Was the dog owner's 'tone' mentioned? Was it sarcastic, confident, pushy, demure?

Igmum · 16/09/2024 18:24

@Mumofteenandtween I think FFS is entirely reasonable under the circumstances (possibly low key)

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 16/09/2024 18:33

Oh for fucks sake.

Omg, it'd be funny if it wasn't for the colossal waste of taxpayers money and the social worker's time and doubtless stress.

a colleague said he identified his dachshund dog as “gender-fluid” and that he had put a dress on the pet to prompt debate.

So, male colleague does something silly to 'prompt debate' and then doesn't like it when debate was forthcoming? (And from my knowledge of dachshunds, they've no truck with 'gender' but are sex realists...how very dare he assume his dog's gender?Shock)

This tickled me too - after all I thought one of the central tenets was that identity was within the individual’s control and not externally imposed? Given dogs cannot communicate, how could the owner ‘know’ how the dog choses to identify?

TBH it just shows this movement up for the fantastical and ideological BS it is. Hope more idiots like this continue to do our work for us…

Ereshkigalangcleg · 17/09/2024 11:35

It's so deeply stupid it's almost as if sausage dog man was setting a trap.

TWETMIRF · 17/09/2024 11:58

My cat identifies as a scarf, he doesn't curl up in my lap, he lies across my throat. Does this mean I don't need to worry about feeding him now?

Madcats · 17/09/2024 12:39

Surely, by now, after all those Employment Tribunal judgments...somebody in HR....or somebody in Legal...or the barrister.... must have scratched their head and thought...."oh hang on, we don't have a leg to stand on".

The sooner we stop having this "bring your whole authentic self to work and just do the job you are paid to do" the better.

I thought gender identity was supposed to be an internal feeling or belief. How dare the dog owner presume to know what the poor dog might be feeling.

Igmum · 17/09/2024 12:43

I would assume that the dog was thinking 'get this effing tutu off me'

IThinkILikeThisLittleLight · 17/09/2024 18:41

My dog self identifies as a hamster because the insurance is much cheaper

Poor Pablo looks really sad, particularly in the pic where he’s wearing a crown.

Mmmnotsure · 17/09/2024 19:57

From Pablo's owner (there really should be checks on who is allowed to have animals):

‘I identify my dog as gender fluid, and I actually enjoy speaking with people about human gender expression and how we (as a society) imprinted this in animals and culturally we repeat the gender expressions and stereotypes to the young generation.
‘When [the other employee] stated “Your dog is male!” with a provocative and angry tone of voice, the group was silent and shocked, she ignored our previous conversation and I felt this was the first attack on my personal choices and lived experience.’
The total number of people on the Zoom call was eight, according to the documents in the case seen by MailOnline.
Mr Analha continued: ‘People mentioned that they were shaking, feeling threatened and horrified with the disrespectful comments.’

IThinkILikeThisLittleLight · 17/09/2024 19:57

I think this guy is actually doing his cause alot of bad press.

I mean the dog obviously isn't GG, it has absolutely no concept of that so anybody with even one -rainbow coloured braincell should be able to see this this is forced upon the dog. And it just mirrors what happens to children in this environment too!!

MelodyMalone · 17/09/2024 20:52

Hoardasurass · 17/09/2024 18:40

People were shaking, feeling threatened and horrified, apparently, by hearing views that differed from their own.

Grow up, FFS.
