Here is what happens when you get so wrapped up in a narrative that you lose all grasp of reality - from Medusa Magazine:
Don’t Gender your Pets
You may think it is of no importance whether you gender your pets but why would you do such a thing to such an important member of your life? Pets cannot speak for themselves. They cannot tell you that they are being misgendered. It’s important not to make assumptions about what gender your animal is based off of its sex.
Sex and gender are separate things and are in no way intertwined. The sex of your pet is irrelevant. The only time you need to concern yourself with the sex of your pet is when you spay or neuter it (and this begs the question of whether or not we should perform operations on our pets without their consent). Animals can have diverse genders just like humans, and they can have diverse sexualities also. Sexuality and gender are separate issues also but as an example of how animals can be incredibly diverse, there are in fact gay animals and even animals capable of changing their sex.
If you love and care for your pet it is important not to misgender them. Try to give them a gender-neutral name instead and calling them gender neutral pronouns like they and them. You may be thinking “why is this important? This is just an animal?” Well it is important because typically pets are more important to their owners than just “animals.” Also, it’s an important way to practice getting rid of gender norms all together.
Christ on a Corn Dog - talk about a Word Salad of epic proportions. This author's brain is so wrapped up in their narrative and cult of identity that they have zero traction on the real world. They willfully live in a self-indulgent bubble of their own making rather then just get on with life like the rest of us. Talk about someone who went to a University and got an Indoctrination instead of an Education. It used to be that Universities taught a person how to think - now they just tell you what to think.
Forget getting fifteen minutes of fame, this in-DUH-vidual needs to be publicly mocked for fifteen minutes - it might stir them out of their cerebral malaise.
