Update: Busted. I got taken by a parody tweet. It happens. You are in a hurry, and you need content but skip the step where you dig into the source to verify, and boom. But?
Most of the points are still relevant to the issue of crazy-town cultural identity politics voodoo, so I’ll make a few edits and let it fly. And thanks to a reader for the hip check, and here’s a link to the feed; there’s some great satire there for future fun!
So, back to the original:

Your pet will let you know its identity.
I am a dog!
What if they identify as a person or a different animal? All you have to do is say so, and it must be true, but was that what the pet meant?
And what do you mean by gendered clothing?
Drag queens are men who dress up as garish caricatures of women, which is more than a micro-aggression if you think clothing is “gendered.” Why are there no drag queens who dress up like men? Why do they insist on gendered clothing, and why doesn’t that create subconscious or conscious distress?
Some adults decided, and if other adults disagree, call them bigots.
Very one-sided, and that applies to adults with children. A parent obsessed with gendering might decide to dress their boy up in the caricature of a girl because he looked sideways at a barbie doll once, but there’s no going back to a boy after that, is there? He can’t change his mind. And to ensure there is no going back, there are drugs and surgery, and anyone who thinks that might be a bit too permanent, given how fluid “gender” is supposed to be, is also an intolerant bigot.
Forget the risk of fissuring the microsubconcious. This would be the pet equivalent of Munchausen by proxy (and there are people out there who will yell at you for gennnnderrrrring a pet).
But wait. There is no gender except the one you decide based on what you want the signals to mean, right?
Here’s another one. If gender is fluid, then you might create subconscious distress by improperly perceiving your pet’s final form (or a child’s), even if there can be no definitive form.
Anything you do projects your perception or will onto their subconscious, based on your biased interpretations – and how is that not worse than what you insist is the proper view?
