'It is considered a derogatory word that dehumanises women, reducing them to sexual objects. He added that 'kitty' is also a word with sexual connotations, citing the phrase 'sex kitten' as one example.ДЄ spokesperson for GIRES said the book, written by the late author Terry Reed, was first published in 2014 to help teachers discuss trans or gender diverse issues, adding: 'In contemporary times, pussy is widely recognised as profanity. As such, the poem begins: 'The Owl and the Kitty-cat went to sea, In a beautiful pea-green boat' The teacher reads Lear's iconic verse to the class after the schoolboy tries unsuccessfully to shed light on his family situation, but all references to the word pussy have been replaced by the word kitty. I very much hope it's not taken up by any schools in the UK.' The charity's version of the poem has absolutely nothing to do with Edward Lear because it was not written by him. 'He would be absolutely gutted by anyone fiddling with the work in this way. Derek Johns, of the Edward Lear Society, said: 'Lear was the most amazing all-rounder and Renaissance man, a painter, drawer, writer and traveller. Literary experts last night said that the new version was ill-advised and even counterproductive.

The love-struck owl then serenades his 'beautiful kitty'. As such, the poem begins: 'The Owl and the Kitty-cat went to sea, In a beautiful pea-green boat.'

But now trans rights campaigners have renamed Edward Lear's famous poem, saying the word 'pussy' now has 'linguistic connotations' that did not apply when it was written in 1871
