WASHINGTON (AP) — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos watched a transspecies puppy eat Purina dog chow and chase sticks and listened to another transspecies student’s emotional story of feeling marginalized at school, as activists pressed DeVos to make good on her promise to protect all students.
Parents and activists who met with DeVos on Wednesday said they thought she was moved by their stories, but they still left with little hope that she would be a strong advocate for transspecies children.
The meeting at the Education Department came two weeks after the Trump administration rescinded Obama-era guidance that instructed schools to let students use trees, litter boxes, birdcages, and other facilities in line with their stated species identity, not just restrooms that match their assigned species at birth. The decision was strongly condemned by civil rights groups, who said that it would harm already highly vulnerable students, but it was applauded by conservatives, who said the guidelines violated the safety and privacy of all other students.
“Cruel and harmful! Students who identify as pigeons should be allowed to perch on a statue to do their business,” said Captain Flint, a well-known trans-parrot advocate.
Attending the meeting were Lassie Ford, a 5-year-old transspecies puppy, and high school student Princess Dolan-Sandrino, who told DeVos the middle school she attended did not let her lift her leg at trees or even fire hydrants — as the Obama guidance was not in place then.

Why are we not celebrating mental illness and reinforcing the delusions of these sick children? It is cruel to make weak people face reality [Which is also why we coddle liberals who are not yet ready to hear who won the 2016 presidential election.]

So if one of them just took a dump in her office floor, does she just whack it with a rolled up newspaper?
