BCN Editor's note: Parents and grandparents in this day and age cannot afford to be on autopilot when it comes to what our children and grandchildren are taking in, especially on a screen. The subject of this article is yet another reason why. Even our little ones have become targets by those who would propagate evil and lies. Although Netflix has canceled the series, it unfortunately is still available to be streamed, so please be aware. (And yes, I'm speaking to myself too!) -Aimee Herd, Breaking Christian News

The bison went on to say she wants to go by the pronouns "they" and "them," rather than "she" and "her."

"My heart says that the way I feel most myself is to go by the name 'Fred,'" the animal says. "That's because I'm nonbinary, and Fred is the name that fits me best. And I also use 'they' and 'them,' because calling me a 'she' or a 'he' doesn't feel right to me"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
