A Scottish school pupil has been allowed to identify as a WOLF by education bosses in what is thought to be the first case of 'species dysphoria' in the country. Teachers are said to be supporting the choice of the secondary student.

But the news has been met with shock with one expert saying the pupil involved needs to "snap out of it". The Daily Mail reports that official documents confirm the move with a council backing the child's choice.

The statement said bosses follow the GIRFEC [Getting It Right for Every Child - Scottish Government guidance] and Wellbeing Wheel to "support pupils regardless of barriers to learning or challenges they face". This tool emphasises the need to let children have their voice heard.

The concept of species dysphoria has been around for centuries. It was mocked in the satirical cartoon South Park when a character underwent plastic surgery to look like a dolphin.
