It's a tricky one, I wont deny.

I'm probably horribly prejudiced because I cannot take any claims to being Otherkin seriously, as an example.  I think people who claim that don't actually "feel like [animal]" but strongly identity with their idea of what that animal is like.  I don't think it's actually possible for a human to feel they are a particular animal as an innate function, because our ideas about animals are formed by culture, interaction and learning. 

Which is why there are so many wolf-kin and virtually no shrew-kin.  To use a somewhat unfair example, trans people can and do experience dysphoria based on actually existing variations in human bodies.  While sometimes they are informed by culture and interaction in regards to gender, it's still a potential based in actually existing human experience (and I believe there is some evidence for gender dysphoria to have a biological basis).

I'd also differentiate Otherkin from shamanic and similar practices (a claim I sometimes see made) because those rituals are understood to be at least partly metaphor and symbolic, not reality.

So yeah.  Throw otherkin out the airlock.

Why should we have to wear a uniform and a tag to identify ourselves, qnd cram ourselves into a box - while we can compartemantelize and shred ourselves into little pieces that we can put in a lot of little boxes?  :fnord: :fap:

(using more than three categories at least acknowledges th complexity of self, but then ruins it by pretending that catch words can synthetize properly that complexity to strangers that really dont care, and one just ends up looking like a crazy person... if someone actually cares, theyll get to know you and selfdetermine what categories are relevant to them, something as simple as what. music you like instead of if you are a cishet overlord, 23rd generation grandson of genghis khan or one twenthieth Siberian)

I just feel bad for using the term transpoor. I had to make sure I couldn't find anyone with loads of money who feels like they identify as someone in poverty after typing that word.

Transpoor is probably the funniest concept I've seen on that front, ever.

It irritates me quite a bit that "trans" has become an attention-seeker prefix. And even more, because the general social embracing of trans* detracts so much from the general recognition of the harm of forcing people into social roles based on their anatomy.
