School pupil with an 'animal persona' allowed to identify as wolf after suffering from 'species dysphoria'

[Michie]

A school pupil has been allowed to self-identify as a wolf by her teacher after claiming she had an "animal persona" and belonged to a different species.

The youngster is believed to be suffering from "species dysphoria" - a condition where a person feels trapped in a body belonging to the wrong species.

Similar in principle to gender dysphoria - a condition where a person believes their body to be that of the wrong gender - the secondary school pupil has received support and "counselling" from teachers and a "wellbeing worker" over the decision.

The case, cited in official documents held by the council, is thought to be the first case of its kind in Scotland.

The local authority said the pupil was part of a wider group who referred to themselves as "furries" and identified themselves as having an "animal persona".

However, clinical neuropsychologist Dr Tommy MacKay told the Mail Online: "There is no such condition in science as 'species dysphoria'".

Theres a whole online world of this stuff where people identify as all sorts of things, aliens, different age, race, reptiles, alter ego's, personalities and the like. We use to call it a delusion and disorder but now we encourage it.

This goes back to how psychology and psychiatry have become PC and began rejecting objective reality and facts we were supporting only a few years ago. Around 10 years ago sex was a biological fact and gender was a social construct. Now gender identity is an objective fact and sex is a social construct.

My how things have been flipped. Of course things thinking or should I say ideology because its a belief is going to then lead to other forms of subjective realities. If the inner self is regarded as the true measure of reality and overides objective reality then in a relative Postmodern world where self truth is the only truth we are going to get all sorts of crazy ideas.

What about gods. Maybe Mason was not crazy afterall but just expressing his inner reality of being Gods prophet. Maybe Schizophrenics aren't mad afterall and just expressing one of their many realities.

The irony is if being a Furry a dysphoria, is a mental disorder then why encourage it. Isn't that going against the basic practice principle of therapy to not encourage the delusion and disorder by allowing children to indulge in it. It would be akin to encouraging someone to be bulimic or the Schizophrenic voices they hear in their head. The exact opposite of what good therapy requires.

But that is what is happening. We are seeing institutions and now even science encourage and even celebrate madness. I would not be surprised that we begin to see some sort of contest or event which celebrates Furries as a natural and normal part of being human as it has done with Trans and other genders being promoted.

I remember seeing a funny but sad video on this and if it wasn't for the fact that people actually take this serious that you would think it funny and some sort of comedy skit. But its real lol. But I could not stop from being amused lol.

Seriously. FETISH with adults.

Kids pretend.

Ugh!

I have read of adults with this fetish who dress up and stuff like animals but like you said, it’s a fetish. I never heard of people including kids who think they’re animals, much less it being a disorder.

It’s because species dysphoria does not exist. Try throwing a plate of raw meat at the kid and see what happens.

Good. I hope it goes viral. The stupider the "I identify as" nonsense gets the better.

We need to find an agent and make a show of it.

I'm on the fence, I'm neither a blue or a errr yellow/green you could say I'm aparrotical

That's way I decided to identify as a chameleon.

 

[dzheremi]

My cousin's daughter (6th-7th grade or so) has a friend who believes that they're some kind of animal. She says that she doesn't like hanging out with her for too long because inevitably she will do something "weird" related to it. I believe her! No surprises for guessing there is other stuff going on here (other psychological problems). Poor kids.

 

[bèlla]

The furry thing is real but when you see it in person you're stupefied. I saw one on the train in Boston. She had ears and a tail and it took a moment to register. We all wore the same what the heck on our face. And pictures don't do it justice. You had to be there.

I'm not comfortable with the practice because it's a fetish. The first time I saw the term was related to adults and I don't think it's appropriate for children to mimic it. They'll attract the wrong attention.

Yep thats one expression of acting out subjective realities. As the kids get older their sex and gender is central to their identity. So identity becomes an expression of everything including sex. When its misdirected from its natural and healthy course its going to be distorted and expressed in all sorts of deranged ways.

 

[ozso]

There's all kinds of crazy variations and mutations of the "identify as" phenomenon. There's "furry" as mentioned along with "otherkin" and "two-spirit" and I'm sure more that I haven't kept up with. And of course the destructive woke mentality is to go along with it because it's prejudiced not to. And if it was just an adult thing, meh whatever. But of course the real problem is adults getting kids sucked into it .

They need therapy and medication, not affirmation their fantasy is real.

Furries claim it's not a fetish, it's just people who really like animals. I think it's quite odd.

Yeah that's another one I hadn't heard of. I'm sure the sky is the limit at this point.

The article states she is in a year 8 class. So I am guessing 12 or 13 years old. I was imagining a younger child. So yes, it’s time to consult a professional.

Yeah I don't think the furry thing really fits as much or at least it didn't used to. I remember some medical show back in the 80's or 90's (maybe St. Elsewhere) that had an episode featuring a furry. So I've been aware of that one for quite a while. The sad thing is probably all these people are trying to fill the emptiness of what's called a God shaped void.
