    I’m in the UK. I am a teacher. I know a teacher with school-age kids who believes that “there is a child in my neighbour’s school who thinks they are a cat and have a litter tray.”

    How can you falsify that?

      That is such a huge conspiracy that’s going around in every neighborhood.

      Every time I hear it I think, there’s no way the health department is letting kids shit out in the open in public in the back of a classroom. Even IF you can get around the whole “kids using the bathroom in public in front of teachers” thing that would 100% get someone put on an offender list.

        Yes. And when a teacher who knows that the institution we both work in does not have litter trays for cat children is believing this idea, you know that this belief is a matter of population-controlling gullibility.

        Anyway, as an autistic being who doesn’t relate to humanity, I respect neurodivergent people who identify as non-human. Humans should try to be better role models to fix that.
