A teddy bear has sparked a gender row after the cuddly toy came out as non-binary.
The soft toy known as Mayor-Bear remained in office after the departure of former Mayor of Darlington Cyndi Hughes earlier this month.
The teddy had a note attached explaining how it is non-binary and looks forward to welcoming children and attending teddy bears' picnics.
But after an image was shared on social media, some slammed the bear describing it as 'creepy'.
This is the cuddly toy bear that has sparked controversy after it came out as non-binary, creating a gender row online
Mayor-Bear's message read: 'Hi, my name is Mayor-Bear. I am a non-binary bear. Do you know what non-binary means? Some bears are boys and some bears are girls. I am non-binary, this means that I am neither a boy bear, nor a girl bear. I am just a bear'
