      The Florida catgender story isn't unique — it's just the start. We now have "nonbinary tree sprites" and kids changing their biology for social media likes.

      We may also see risk with the growth in ideas like 'xenogender', a rather novel identity category that has emerged within some sexual and gender diverse communities where a person may identify with other species (or objects), such as 'catgender'. This obviously extends the notion of gender to a level most would probably consider absurd, and yet these gender identity categories have even — albeit temporarily — been incorporated within UK university 'pronoun guides'.
    • 2024, Ryan Fitzgibbon, A Great Gay Book
      A remarkable number of youth in the region identify as catgender. They eat on the floor, nuzzle human companions, and expect teachers to use their correct pronouns, nya/nyan. There is also evidence of a thriving local community of Satanists.
