At a school near me (Rye) a child is identifying as a cat.
We have Dog here :-D
On a more serious note, I really don't care what people identify as. Genders may be flexible and infinitely variable but sex at birth is fixed - after all it's not a quantum particle. I don't give a fig about sexual orientation, it's the person that counts and I count amongst by best friends a gay lady and a gay man.
What I can't abide is the intolerance and vile behaviour to those that disagree (like JK Rowling who receives a lot of stick).
If someone wants to identify as a cat - who cares. If someone objects - that's their choice and one should be allowed to disagree.
It's becoming dogma and doctrine and you have to agree and accept all of these things and peoples' livelihoods and careers (including some good teachers) are being ruined by having different opinions or by making innocent mistakes.
I avoid using titles now on any correspondence through fear of cocking it up.
Live and let live - both sides of the argument.
