    Cory Bernardi Possibly Just Compared Transgender People To A Cat Identifying As A Dog

    "It's oppressive to call me a feline."

    Liberal backbencher Cory Bernardi has tweeted a picture of a cat that just miiiiight be comparing transgender people to animals.

    The new 'right' is the right to choose your own reality or deny it completely.

    "It's oppressive to call me a feline," the meme reads. "I actually identify as a German Shepherd."

    "The new 'right' is the right to choose your own reality or deny it completely," Bernardi wrote.

    Bernardi has quite a history of commenting on LGBT issues, including past remarks linking marriage equality and bestiality.

    However, it's unclear whether his tweet is referring to transgender people, the recent news around Rachel Dolezal, or something else entirely.

    BuzzFeed News has asked Bernardi's office what he meant by the tweet.
