I...wasn’t. The point I was trying to make is that people will try to claim that their pets are whatever they claim they are in an attempt to appear cool and progressive, so it wouldn’t surprise me if people started claiming their pets are trans. And it fucking pisses me off that you’d accuse me of being homophobic because that’s such virtue-signaling bullshit right there.

I get it. It happens with small livestock too like backyard chickens.

All hens will slow down with their laying within two years. Some can actually grow spurs and start to crow. They're still female but are exhibiting male chicken behavior, so owners have opined that they must be transgender roosters. But its not like they go around claiming pronouns...well not yet.

What next, poultry farmers replacing the age-old term "sexing chicks" to "gendering" them? And the people who do that job will be called "chicken genderers" rather than "chicken sexers"?

Even Wikipedia, which has become full of gender ideology propaganda since being taken over by TRAs who've turned into Wokepedia, still uses "chick sexing" throughout its page on the topic. There's not one word about poultry gender; it's all sex, sex and more sex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_sexing

Exactly. It’s like when straight people decided to co-opt “queer” for themselves, and then justify it because they tell actual LGB people that “queer is self-defined and it really only means whatever it means to you.” Queerness isn’t a hip coffee shop that literally anyone - even utterly straight people - can visit whenever they want to be seen by the masses, and it isn’t a funny, cute label you can apply to animals to make your own life seem more interesting. It’s a real, lived, experienced thing, not just a trendy bit of fun. It’s a slap in the face to actual LGB people.
