I am indebted to the Australian Sky News reporter, Rita Panahi, for leading me to Fred, the non-binary bison. I am still laughing!
Netflix has 'quietly cancelled' an animated kids' show called Ridley Scott which features a bison who comes out as non-binary to its grandmother.
After Fred reveals to his grandmother that he…sorry, they…is ( are?) non-binary, the grandmother delivers the priceless line: ‘ How could you lead the herd without being yourself?’
What herd!? They are probably heading off for the horizon at this stage!
Do scroll down to the video on this link. It will cheer you up enormously!
In the scale of things a minor quibble but since when did bison have blue noses and Liberace hairdos?
It has been pointed out by some feminists that the subliminal message is that a female can’t lead the herd!

Kellie-Jay Down Under
Kellie-Jay is interviewed by New Zealand independent broadcaster, The Platform. The story told by the interviewer about two journalists in a mainstream media outlet being disciplined for complaining about having to use the term ‘birthing persons’ is gobsmacking. WTF!!!
