Her more over-the-top claims include that she owns a cat who is the person who should have been born in her body[2], that her parents have had to force her to bathe[3], that the term "batshit" is based on oppression of bats by humans[4], and that "I transcend the traditional human concept of gender since I am a cat. I am not just a her, but a cher."[5]
