Students in different schools in the United Kingdom are being allowed to identify as animals, one notch above the insanity of them being allowed to identify as the gender they choose to be. | The Telegraph recounted one such incident at Rye College in East Sussex, where a girl self-identified as a cat. Her classmates who refused to play along with the insanity gave the would-be feline a reminder that she is a girl. However, the woke institution reprimanded the classmates who gave a reality check, telling them their remarks "really upset" their classmate who identified as a cat. ● But this wasn't the only story shared by the outlet, as students in other schools also identified as other creatures. ● One student at a secondary school in South West England insisted on being addressed as a dinosaur. Another student insisted on being addressed as a horse. A third student wore a cape and demanded that they be acknowledged as a moon – a literal lunatic, to put it bluntly.
