Therian Culture Is Looking At Things With Your Big Sopping Wet Eyes Like This

“Why’d you do that?” Please remember that I am using what I’ve seen in humans to mimic them

Just recently did I realize I had a raccoon theriotype. I knew I had a seperate identity for the shifts I got associated with raccoons but not until around March or April did it finally click! night time, junk food, abandoned areas, being rowdy and messy, are some things I like to associate with this type. I feel so complete after discovering this kintype, it’s like the puzzle is finally complete

board by me, images found on pinterest

To those new to the therian community (& the otherkin/alterhuman community as a whole, honestly), if you're trying to figure out your kintype and you're struggling I have an insider secret for you.

Just pick one. Just pick a label that feels good enough and run with it. Nobody is gunna challenge you and ask you, well how do you KNOW? and if they do, they're a fuckin weirdo and you can tell em to fuck off. You don't need to be 100% sure. You can actually just do what you want, forever. Maybe you'll realize it isnt for you and move on. Maybe you won't. Fuck it

What do y'all know about life-size dog beds

When will people finally understand that therianthropy DOESN’T end when it comes to genital dysphoria or in the bedroom?? That so doesn’t make therianthropy inherently sexual but god it’s not like it just packs its bags and leaves when it’s deemed too much for chronically online alterhuman antis to understand ????????? Fuckin hell bro

Variations of the species dysphoria posters from wolf for me and @contrapaws

I think this is because people (especially on TikTok) like to point to figures of authority even when it's not applicable

A good majority of this we can also blame on right wingers, transmeds, and a small bit of those very specific detrans grifters who make it seem like the trans community "groomed them"

All those groups went for years going on about how dysphoria is a very special mental illness to the point of taking away people's autonomy on how people perceive themselves

Species dysphoria *is* somewhat recognized, just not fully or medically (and I'm not sure it would really be good if it was either or both of those considering how most people treat clinical zoanthropes already)

But people can't point to a disorder and (think) they can't point to any papers (despite them existing) so it MUST NOT EXIST! the assumed authority has said so! (Which should be left to the creature, not anyone else). But if species dysphoria *does* get medically recognized then you're gonna be called even more delusional than usual because "look! It's a disorder! Something is clearly wrong with YOU!"

I hate when I mention species dysphoria on tiktok and half or more of the comments I get are telling me it's not real or I cant use the term dysphoria for that, I've already gone into why dysphoria is a okay term to use several times, but like you can't just say its not real when many others experience it- sure I don't think its recognized in the medical field (might be wrong idk) but that doesn't just erase others feelings and experiences

Like I'm just confused what people think commenting that isn't real is gonna do, doesn't change what Im feeling, I wish it did honestly because I'm tired of feeling like this but like obviously it's not changing anytime soon even if you decide to pretend like Im making it up for some reason

"YOU CAN'T BE THERIAN!!!!!!!?? YOU CAN'T BE ALTERHUMAN!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T BE OBJECTUM!!!!!$ THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME!!!!!!!!!"
