Letting children identify as animals is wrong- and unloving
Some Scottish schools are now officially recognising "species dysphoria," allowing students to identify as animals, such as wolves. While reports of children identifying as animals have circulated widely, often with dubious details, recent cases confirmed by a Scottish council highlight the worrying reality of this trend. Some psychologists question the scientific basis of species dysphoria, yet schools, supported by government guidance, seem to be accommodating it. How should Christian professionals respond to this growing phenomenon? Lizzie advocates for a compassionate yet firm rejection of this ideology, suggesting that saying "no" is the most loving response
