British School Allows Pupil Suffering from ‘Species Dysphoria’ to Identify as a Wolf

by Will Jones
20 September 2024 1:00 PM

A British schoolchild suffering from ‘species dysphoria’ has been officially allowed to identify as a wolf. The Mail has the story.

The secondary-school pupil is said to suffer from ‘species dysphoria’, which is when someone claims their body belongs to a different species.

Teachers are said to be supporting the youngster.

Growing numbers of schoolchildren are said to be taking on the personalities of creatures including foxes, dragons, birds, snakes, sharks and even dinosaurs.

However, clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Tommy MacKay insisted last night: “There is no such condition in science as ‘species dysphoria’. It’s not surprising that we are seeing this in an age when many people want to identify as something other than they are.

“Now we have a council which appears to accept at face value that a child identifies as a wolf, rather than being told to snap out of it and get to grips with themselves, which would be the common-sense approach.”

Confirmation of the first-known case in Scotland in which a school has recognised that a pupil identifies as an animal was revealed in official documents.

The Mail knows the name of the council involved but has decided not to disclose it to protect the identity of the child concerned.

The local authority said the pupil belonged to a group who called themselves “furries” and identified with “animal persona”. The council said it offered “personal support” and “more specific support” from a “wellbeing worker”, including counselling and help with learning, adding: “There is very little specific guidance on species dysphoria.”

It explained that it followed Scottish Government guidance called Getting It Right For Every Child (Girfec), and used a “wellbeing wheel” to support pupils regardless of barriers to learning or challenges they face.

Worth reading in full.

If the child is a wolf, surely he or she should not be required to attend school?

So as a logical consequence, seeing any child can make this claim, compulsory schooling is de-facto abolished.

Compulsory schooling does not exist in the UK. But many children would benefit greatly from being “de-schooled”.

Not only that – wolves are pack animals, and it’s cruel to separate him from other wolves. He should be released into the wild in Canada, or at least sent to a zoo.

Perhaps that was the child’s plan, then quietly to become human again once out, but not let on. But it hasn’t worked out. Kid thinks: “What do I do now?”

I consider this to be a very effective and successful move by the boy. He is following the principle of reductio ad absurdum. He rejects the whole “choose whatever gender you want to be today” mantra, and so is fighting fire with fire. He is saying, OK, let’s follow all this to its logical conclusion, and if the conclusion is absurd (my being a wolf), then the premise is false.

Good luck to him, I say.

I hope it’s like this, at least. Or the boy could indeed be well and truly disturbed and betrayed by all those figures of authority around him.

As with everything that’s well outside the parameters of what’s considered ‘normal behaviour’ I’d be straight away looking at the parents. I’d be asking what on earth this kid’s home life is like because this is where the parents have to step up and take responsibility. I’m all for kids being a bit crazy, testing the boundaries or acting in some eccentric way, because teenage years and high school life do come with their own specific set of stresses and challenges, but for crying out loud, if you’re going to cosplay being an animal then just make it a hobby, something that you do for fun outside of school. Anything else requires immediate psychiatric input before it escalates further.

I can’t make up my mind about this. Is this about a clever youngster taking the Micky out of idiot adults? Are we dealing with a disturbed child having a personal crisis? Or is it yet more sign of the disintegration of our civilisation?

Its possible, but more likely a fad that the modern socialist-progressive teaching mind has dangerously indulged. I remember a few kids around 11-12 a long time ago when I was a school kid, came up with this sort of make believe in school, were humoured or ignored and simply grew out of it.

Liberal progressivism is a virus and it is spreading all over the western world faster than covid on speed. One of its aspects is to turn every human behaviour, no matter how absurd into a malady, a condition or an illness and then categorise it and label it and then government and the NHS must spend time and money treating that absurdity. Once someone has been diagnosed, everyone else is supposed to blindly accept the nonsense, or they will likely get into all kinds trouble. —-This would all really be quite funny if it were not so pathetic.

He could just identify as a werewolf, I suppose. Best of both worlds then. As long as he doesn’t try re-enacting some of the scenes from An American Werewolf In London ( which traumatized me when I was a kid. Special effects stood the test of time, though 😮 ) or even Dog Soldiers.
”Stick to the path, keep clear of the moors. Beware the full moon” I used to think werewolves really did exist for years after that.

They shouldn’t just allow it they should encourage it. In other cultures that child would be identified as a future shaman, an intercessor with other worlds. They should provide him with a pelt and a head dress at least. And try to make him understand that one day in times of dire need his service may be needed.

I have a lot of time for shamanism/shamanic practices but I’m not convinced a shaman would identify as a wolf (or any other species) rather than identifying as human and having the wolf as their spirit guide. I doubt this child has the faintest idea about shamanism so this is unlikely to be why they identify as a wolf unless, for reasons we don’t know, the wolf spirit has reached out to them.

I fully support this childs transition and suggest the following methodology;
Goes naked at all times
Is kept in an enclosure to keep it away from the children identifying as sheep
Is fed raw meat and or left to hunt own food
Is left to set own territorial boundaries by urination and defecation within it’s enclosure.
I suspect after a while it won’t be ‘lycan’ that lifestyle 🙂

I presume children who identify as wolves would soon drop the idea if they were only offered raw meat to eat.

You must remember that for a wolf child or a wolf man the moon is very important. Even for dogs they will behave differently when it is a full moon and some people as well. Nuture him and instruct him but let him obey his instincts and fulfil his destiny.

As a child, I identified as a wolf cub.

So tell the child-wolf that from now on its diet consists of raw meat it has hunted and killed itself.

And wait patiently until it demands human food …. about 6 hours, I would guess.
