Female student identifies as a cat,and the school is OK with it!

[raybar]

Peterson's addiction, an addiction which is apparently nearly impossible to kick, was to prescribed medication. You might say that he should have know better, but you could say that about all the millions of people addicted to opiates these days.

Could you please provide some references about him being not well liked by the mental health community, and about his alleged misogyny and intolerance toward minorities.

 

[Nathan]

Jordan Peterson is not well liked by our mental health community. He is highly intelligent, but his misogyny, and intolerance toward various minorities are largely an embarrassment. All too often, he folds his “facts“ to fit his prejudices.

Jordan Peterson's Wikipedia article helps clarify what you've mentioned.

There was a lady who had plastic surgery to look like a cat.

Apparently this is a thing now — kids identifying as animals. I think it’s just plain nuts, and nuttier still that parents and schools don’t put a stop to it. And these aren’t kindergarten kids, either. When did feelings take precedence over reality? Imagine actually treating these kids like a cat. Feed them Friskies in a bowl on the floor. Sorry, Kitty, pizza is bad for cats. Cats don’t wear clothes. Cats pee in a litter box. And cats don’t go to school. oy!

Oh adults are doing it too. A friend of mine sent me a video several months ago of a woman in her backyard, leash and all. The world is getting crazier and crazier. These children need to be taught the big difference between role playing for fun and real life. Schools suspend girls for dying their hair red or if you're Black, wearing braids but allow this??!!! WTH!

@hollydolly...the woman looks horrible! Something you'd run from if you encountered her in the dark. It's pitiful that women do this to themselves thinking they'll be more beautiful. But instead....

The bigger question is who the hell is gonna hire these people to work and what kind of job are they gonna do? This world is getting too damn strange for me.

Well, if you have a mouse problem, you might hire Cat Woman....

 

[hollydolly]

Seems like she's have grounds for a malpractice suit against the surgeon...

well she would if she didn't believe she was beautiful...and she's said as much in many interviews.. .

Either she's mentally unsound..or.. she has the most self confidence of anyone ever..I;d like to have just a fraction of her self confidence if that's the case

 

[Della]

These things probably start with an animal avatar until identity begins to slip over...oh wait.

Well, I read that whole wiki about him (fascinating) which then led me to his favorite philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard and his existentialism and now my brain hurts. Thanks a lot Nathan!

When did feelings take precedence over reality?

In 2016.

 

[Jeni]

Is it any wonder we have an explosion of mental health issues....... being bullied into playing into others delusions or fantasy ..... when will these people put down the drugs and get a clue....

 

[StarSong]

These people are more to be pitied than scorned, IMHO.

The Cat Student??? It was slow news day, and it was 4:55 PM, and they had to come up with something.
Let's see. from the article The student IS SAID.......... APPARENTLY ................... REPORTEDLY ......... THE SCHOOL DID NOT CONFIRM.
I think this story "is said" to be "apparently" BS because "reportedly" THE SCHOOL DID NOT CONFIRM.
Talk about nailing down the facts of a story.

 

[Furryanimal]

Identifying as a cat?
understandable!
Hope her lessons go purrfectly and she gets plenty of belly rubs when she gets an A!
The World continues to go mad

Exactly!

 

[Pecos]

In view of some of the things we see happening, there are days when identifying as a two-legged human doesn't look so good.

Absolutely.

 

[Murrmurr]

So much for that job interview>

I'd let him work for me ....if I owned a zoo. Or a circus. I wonder if he can meowww on key?

Maybe they're too embarrassed?

 

[SeniorBen]

People, some fully grown, some even into middle age or seniors, believe some crazy things. Look at all the evolution deniers, flat-earthers, conspiracy theorists, and religious fanatics.

If this story about the student is true, she'll probably outgrow it, providing she's in a healthy environment. But a lot of people live a life of delusion.

 

[Pappy]

I guess Meow Mix will have to be added to school lunch menu.

 

[Ruthanne]

Oh just wait, somebody or another will say we're 'judging'...

So f'ing what. Aren't you anyhow???(lol). Where's your compassion people have to let you know what you are doing

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I have no problem believing that someone identifies with being a cat ( I worked in a psych hospital), but I can't believe the school went along with her delusion.

 

[Paco Dennis]

If people would treat her like an actual cat she would snap out of her play fantasy. They dote on her. Feed her kibbles and go your way without her. You don't need to pet her, or be nice to her. Ignore her like the other cats you don't notice. Starve her of human interaction and contact. Put her firmly in the animal realm, that will scare the bee-jeeeezus out of her.
