Trans your pet

Is your dog Mormon or Catholic or Independent Fundamental Baptist?

An agency that supplies animals to the media has asked owners whether their pets are gender neutral or non-binary in a drive to be more “inclusive”.

Urban Paws, which describes itself as the leading animal talent agency in the UK, included four gender options on the application form owners are required to complete to register their pets: male, female, gender neutral/non-binary and prefer not to say.

Well it’s an animal talent agency, so it’s wall-to-wall lovvies, so it makes perfect sense. The kind of people who want their pets to make it in show biz are the kind of people who think “non-binary” is real and that it applies to non-human animals. Once you start believing in horseshit there’s no stopping point.

    As I mentioned over in the Miscellany Room the other day, you can now get a test kit to determine the gender of your marijuana plants.

    How does one get admitted into the Miscellany Room? I’ve seen it referenced numerous times in comments.

    (BTW: The “Contact” function isn’t working for me in either Edge or Firefox.)

    Miscellany Room 10 is here, but it seems to be full and not allowing new comments, so perhaps we need to request that it be turned up to 11.

    Mike B.,

    Easiest way to find it is to use the search box on the upper right. Search for “Miscellany” and it’ll pop right up.

    Mike B — the “contact” function doesn’t work for me either. [I have come to the realization that the one on my own website also doesn’t work. First-world problems!]

    Why am I reminded of this Monty Python sketch?

    Given that ‘she’ was always played on-screen by a male I’m just surprised that the trans mob haven’t yet claimed Lassie as the trailblazer for transgender dogs.

    I’ve been seeing people referring to their own (singular) pets as “they” for a while now. Usually dogs, so it’s not like it’s hard to tell.
