Original Note:
The idea that children are identifying as cats (and being allowed to use litter boxes as toilets in school) is a right wing conspiracy theory with no basis in fact. The purpose of this false narrative is to dehumanise and mock the existence of trans people. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinformation/urban-myth-litter-boxes-schools-became-gop-talking-point-rcna51439/ https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/jun/23/child-identifying-as-cat-controversy-from-a-tiktok-video-to-media-frenzy
