I’ve had this phantom limb for as long as I can remember and never knew there was a name for it. I’m glad to know it’s not a unique sensation. my feet are wrong. They should be more like a monkey but sometimes like a wolf. Bottom line, my big toe should be at the side of my foot, not next to the following toe.

I feel as though otherkin/therian community doesn't represent what it used to, don't get any of this here mixed up I think it's great we have so many imaginative young voices, sharing their crafts etc.

The problem I see with the community now, is that otherkin/therian is an identity at its core and children often haven't begun forming a social identity yet.

Really I find children younger than 13 using this label to be very harmful to non-human communities themselves, I see videos of therian meetups now and it's all super young children. I don't feel welcome at would be therian gatherings now, because there's a voice in the back of my head now that it might just be daycare for young children, instead of a deep and mature identity with a wide age range.

Children are imaginative and generally are respected for play as animals or non-humans, if teens or adults experience non-human identity it is generally shunned. Teens and adults need this for support, networking, and protection. Otherkin/therian is an identity, take your children to a park if they wanna make friends.

Edit: I want to thank all of you for helping me understand what it means to be other kins and how it feels like. I never knew I would one day come on hear and educate myself on the topic. You are all wonderful and so real. ❤️

Hi, I was talking about identity with some colleagues today. It started with gender identity and for some reason one of them came up with the argument "but what about those who identify as elves, mermaids, or whatever? They need help." I tried my best to defend you. I am genderfluid so I know the gender topic and how to defend queer people. But when it comes to kin and species identity, I don't know nearly enough about you all beautiful people to argument against those who mock you and say you are sick in the head... please tell me about you. I want to know how you feel and what goes through your head. I want to understand you and be able to support you when others make fun of you ❤️

This species strongly resonates with me and got dysphoria and phantom limbs that represent their body features. The long tail with fur at the end, the horns and goat like feet are what I’m referring to.

I get a lot of hate comments about my race and even get called slurs
