TiF is really pleased to get mistaken for a man by doctors. When TiF is nearly killed because doctors think she's a man it's all their fault.

Listen, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with this non-sequitur. We were talking about people transing their animals and giving them a fictional gender-identity. Then you come out of RIGHT field with "some silly people claim their animals are same-sex attracted". So just clarify, TRANS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LGB. SSA is a real thing, it doesn't need props or medicalization or invented "identities". Please stop being such a homophobe. Homophobia like yours makes gullible and vulnerable people want to opt out of their biological sex.

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.

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.
