“My pronoun: spring. But I might transition to summer.”
I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I've known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!
(And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)
Probably stumbled on a makeup tutorial and got confused hearing someone being called an "Autumn" or "Winter" and ran with it.
Summer and Autumn get used as girl’s names ~1,200 per million and ~2,000 per million per year since the 1970s or so. “Fall” is only about 3 per million, “Winter” takes off with Game of Thrones TV show around 2011 leading to 600 per million, but was in use since the 70s to the tune of about 70-100 per mil.

Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.
fox news lying?
Their entire business model is drumming up culture war bullshit to keep people distracted from the fact they're losing the class war.
They made it up.
Of course they made it up, it's Fox News, what do you expect?
Even taking it at face value, who cares?
Kids do dumb shit. Always have, always will.
If identifying as seasons gets the creative juices flowing or gives them a harmless source of entertainment, then more power to em.
"My source is that I made it the fuck up"
Conservatives are so fucking boring. The ones I’m forced to interact with talk about politics at a massively inflated rate compared to anyone else. It’s always shit that makes them angry too, like the only joy you can get out of life is righteous indignation.
Privileged white fuckers are the last people who have any right to be righteously indignant over anything right now, and that’s the majority of conservatives in America.
Do you really think they would do that? Just go on their entertainment show and tell lies?
Oh you sweet summer child? 🤣
My dad was tricked with the "cat litter box" made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can't remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they've been deceived by made-up fox news.
Fox News. What a fucking turd. A bunch of people you wouldn't want to spend 5 minutes with telling you shit that makes no sense and lieing straight to your face to make you angry. No wonder trolls are so prevalent. Republicans worship them.
Identifying as a season? That's almost as ridiculous as identifying as the position of the stars and planets at your birth! You know, that thing that apparently millions of people actually do do. Maybe Fox should go after astrology. That might be a cause worth pursuing.
Heheheh. I said "do do".
This is going to be really awkward when they run into all the girls named Summer and Autumn
I'm an autumn.
Fox News is in the business of making their viewers hate everyone else.
I'm pretty sure that the fox in fox news actually comes from a mispronunciation of the word faux. Faux news.
winter is coming...
It all started with the film 500 Days Of Summer
I can see people doing so sorta in the vein of how some people just accept that they’re very aligned to one of the roles of mother/maiden/crone. But as a gender? Maybe as a nonbinary gender that you only ever hear about on tumblr and Fox News?
But yeah the media needs to touch grass
Hey guys, we know one of ours is batshit crazy and blasting dogs and goats for no reason. So, what is our craziest ol faithful hate? Steve? Trans kids identify has fall.
Wow, look at that idiot! Sir, that's the head of the company! "Tonight! Are your kids identifying as seasons?"
