    Had somebody tell me about schools keeping litterboxes for furries, and I just looked at them and asked “Does that really sound like something that’s actually happening, or does it sound like something someone said as a joke?”

    They insisted that it actually happened, and I was like, “I don’t believe that. I’m surprised you believed it.”

    It wasn’t the most thorough debunking I could have come up with, but I was proud of myself that I actually called them out on it, instead of giving them a high eyebrow smile-and-nod.

      Obviously it sounds like the kind of thing that is happening.

      For example that teacher in Canada who came to school worth enormous fake breasts.

      That happened.

        I’m still pretty sure she was doing some sort of performative protest against transgender tolerance. Like “Oh, we’re going to have to accept trans women? How about if I wear enormous fake boobs and dress in tight clothing? Will you tolerate me then?”

        And the school said “Yeah, we support you,” and they received bomb threats. This just proves once again who the real enemy is. No children were corrupted by her giant fake boobs, but terrorists threatened to indiscriminately murder children to keep her from being herself.

    The venn diagram of people who claim kids are identifying as attack helicopters or believing that schools have litter boxes for kids to use the restroom in, and people who fall for Nigerian Prince scams is just a circle.

    I’ve (thankfully) never encountered a reference to helicopter genders IRL, however I can’t seem to escape the fucking “they’re putting litter boxes in classrooms!!” myth. It’s such an utterly absurd, inane, asinine idea yet I’ve seen real people, who are seemingly functional adults, actually believe this.

    Even if you buy into the conspiracy theories and think that the education system is some globalist socialist catgirl plot, do you think teenagers equipped with cell phones and social media wouldn’t meme the shit out of the classroom litterbox? And yet, we still haven’t seen a single picture proving this has ever happened anywhere. That doesn’t stop people from believing it though, and somehow using it as an excuse to delegitimize and attack trans people.

      It’s a lie spun out from a truth.

      There have been issued cat litter to schools. The reason is in case of a lock down due to a school shooting the kids can urinate and defacate somewhere.

      It’s incredibly sad. The gun nuts believe it’s their right to shoot up a school, but they won’t allow cat litter to be issued to the class rooms.

        On the contrary, there’s overwhelming evidence of this being just the case, It’s just not in the mainstream media just like how they covered up the cloning of famous wrapper Eminem per-se. I recommend you get some more reliable news sources to further your educational development.

          A troll account you should probably just ban or block judging by their comment history.
