Homeless Man Identifies As Dog
When he demanded the Animal Shelter give him free housing in a kennel, the Shelter explained that they only take in homeless animals.
The man sued the Animal Shelter under the BC Human Rights Code for "injury to dignity, feelings and self respect”.
The Minister of Gender Equity was sympathetic: “Each individual knows their own gender ... uh, species ... best," she explained.
This homeless man has had his self-esteem attacked, say his advocates. (His what? ask skeptics. Wouldn't self-esteem involve working? renting an apartment?)
But "cool"! say animal welfare advocates. This means the Human Rights Code will need to be expanded to become the Human and Animal Rights Code.
Meanwhile, the government plans to table a Bill for the Eradication of Skepticism.
If I lose my case at the tribunal, says Dog-Man, I shall move to England. They have a Gender Recognition Act, under which if you have papers and present yourself as a member of another gender for two years and fill in a bunch of trans-forms, you legally ARE of that gender. Maybe they'll introduce the Species Recognition Act, establishing the same rights for trans-species citizens.
If so, I think I'll become a Corgi. With a bit of luck I might end up at Buckingham Palace, living in the lap of luxury.
