Due to it being graduation season across the border in America, there has been some light discussion amongst Cat Republican politicians and (would-be) educators, regarding different colored caps/gowns at graduation ceremonies. Even in the LGBTQA+-friendly city of Ferndale, even just two days after Ferndale’s annual Pride Festival, students graduating from Ferndale High still are bound to two colors at graduation, having white for girls and brown for boys. And while it is good progress that transgender students have walked the stage wearing the color appropriate for their gender identity, those not fitting into either category receive their diploma wearing the color designated for their legal gender. The High School lists its school colors as Brown, Gold, and White, so there is even a third color that could be used broadly for any students not fitting into the gender binary.

And so it has been proposed, that should any student graduate from a Cat Republican educational institution, no matter how far off into the future that may be, all of the National colors shall be used to cover as many bases as possible.

Blue for students identifying as Male, Demimale, or Masculine.

Magenta for students identifying as Female, Demifemale, or Feminine.

Violet for students identifying as Genderfluid, Androgyne, Bigender, or Pangender.

Black for students identifying as Agender, Gender Neutral, or Third Gendered (a gender recognized in a culture, outside of the Western Gender Binary).

White for students identifying just as Genderqueer or Nonbinary.

Cat Republican officials also recognize that humans are complex, rarely fit into neat little boxes, and that time changes many things. Should a student be on the path to graduation that does not identify with any gender identity referenced above, policies may change to include that gender identity. For the time being, a student in such a situation would be asked to pick the color corresponding to the label they are most comfortable with.
