Scottish secondary school allows student to identify as a wolf due to "species dysphoria."

A Scottish secondary school has reportedly allowed a student to identify as a wolf, citing "species dysphoria," a non-clinical condition where individuals feel they belong to a different species. This marks a notable case in the U.K., drawing both support from teachers and criticism from some, including neuropsychologist Dr. Tommy MacKay, who disputes the condition's validity. The local authority follows Scottish government guidance to support the student’s wellbeing.
