I do wonder what would happen if I went into work on Monday and said I have decided to identify as a chinchilla. They are such beautiful little furry things.
Would it be inappropriate for everyone to stroke me during meetings.
Would I be allowed to just take a pee anywhere at any time.
Would they need to put bars around my desk to ensure I did not escape.
Would I still be entitled to public bank holidays.
Would they have to provide separate food for my specific diet if they provide snacks for others.
Would I file complaints if people started disrespecting me by talking to me in baby-speak and so demeaning my actual capabilities.
We need answers. If someone can be a cat I want to be a chinchilla.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

In honesty it must be that the child needs serious help rather than anything else so I do hope that is kicking in.
When my wife was a health visitor she was called in to a school more than once when a child was behaving as a, for instance, wolf...laying across the desk or curled up underneath it. The form teacher was sometimes a person who had never experienced anything like it so assumed the child was just being "difficult".
OK, it wasn't called "identifying as" in those days, but it has always been (rarely) happening and the child needs proper pyschological assistance.
The press must love the term "identifying as" as it implies it's a new issue.
In the case of the wolf it transpired that the child was absolutely terrified of socialising with humans. The child went to a special school and was gradually integrated.

It is a private school she attends so I'm sure she'll be fine and will go on to write a successful book - My life as a Cat  and make a fortune, meet her Tom and live happily ever after.. Now it's Alistair I'm seriously concerned about...
