Michelle Dewberry, a GB News presenter, has defended herself after being accused of “mocking” youngsters who “identify as cats.”
According to recent reports, youngsters in schools around the country are identifying as animals such as horses, cats, and dinosaurs.
‘It is not difficult to uncover true cases of youngsters in UK schools insisting on being addressed as animals,’ according to the Telegraph.
According to the article, students have been identified as horses, with one even wishing to be “acknowledged as a moon.”
Michelle, on the other hand, isn’t having any of it, and donned cat ears with painted on whiskers on Monday’s GB News.
‘Meow, folks, I’ve learned something new today,’ she began. It’s completely fine to identify as a cat. What do you mean?
‘Don’t you dare mock it by the way because I’ve decided that is now what I am, Meowchelle, to you.
‘But if you do indeed mock it be careful because I wouldn’t be surprised if it could be considered a hate crime.
‘Self-identity, where do we draw the line?’
She continued by saying it was ‘very alarming’, joking that she’s ‘been busy licking milk from saucers’.
Her comments sparked backlash online, with one person writing: ‘Whatever side of the gender debate you sit, openly mocking a child is low. Even for you. Scum.’
Another wrote: ‘How utterly pathetic of you.’
Someone else said: ‘It’s a genuine shame you became this pathetic.’
I’ve had people messaging me saying I’m cruel and/or bullying to mock this child.
No. Cruelness is indulging this ridiculousness and prioritising feelings/fiction over actual reality.
The more people who stand up to nonsense, the better.

Replying to someone’s comment which read ‘Quite sad for a grown woman to be mocking a child,’ Michelle insisted: ‘I’m doing the child a favour. The sooner they realise it’s nonsense, can never be reality and instead get on with being a child – the happier and healthier they will be. Adults shouldn’t indulge this.’
Against the claim she was ‘scum’, Michelle also wrote: ‘See what I mean? Apparently, I’m “scum” for mocking the fact that a child is being indulged in believing it’s a cat. Sorry but this ideology deserves to be mocked.
‘It is absurd and will lead children down a route of self-harm. This world has gone mad. Stand up against it.’
She continued: ‘I’ve had people messaging me saying I’m cruel and/or bullying to mock this child. No. Cruelness is indulging this ridiculousness and prioritising feelings/fiction over actual reality. The more people who stand up to nonsense, the better.’
