Okay So I Have A Lot To Say About This (not Aimed At You OP)
Okay so I have a lot to say about this (not aimed at you OP)
'Validity' doesn't exist in terms of identity. I hate that validity culture has polluted the OTHERKIN COMMUNITY of all communities; it's a parasite that does nothing but cause infighting and distract people from actual issues.
Who cares if someone kins Rainbow Dash for fun? Who cares if their kintype is a sparkly pink wolf? Who cares if they can influence shifts or can't experience shifts at all? Someone's experience is their own and is wonderfully unique and real. Being 'valid' has nothing to do with that.
Communities are supposed to uplift each other, damn it, not make certain individuals of said community feel even more isolated.
I see a lot of posts listing experiences we have as alterhuman/therian/otherkin/nonhuman folk and exclaim that every one of them is valid.
Which they are.
Why does it bother me? Because I hate to see that this is needed at all. That we need to slap a “valid” sticker on our experiences.
It doesn’t matter whether or not we, (as individuals), decide they are or aren’t valid.
it doesn’t matter. What happens will happen regardless of whether or not you have an opinion on how “valid” it is.
So what if you’re nonhuman but also human? That’s an experience, it won’t magically stop happening because someone goes “nyeeeh”. (Just an example. You can insert whatever gatekeepers like to complain about and it would still work).
It’s saddening, more than anything. The fact gatekeepers think they can push people out for having different events happen to them ended up making us feel the need to say “hey, your experiences are real and they don’t make you lesser than those who have more common experiences”.
Imagine saying to someone that is crying that it’s okay to cry even though you and/or others aren’t. Of course it is. It should go without saying.
But these are just some Kxena thoughts, hopefully I was able to put them clearly into words heheh
I don’t believe uplifting posts are bad in the slightest, it’s just saddening to see we need them at all. Keep on lifting each other up! We all deserve to feel accepted and respected in this community. Write some words of kindness today!

Again, validity culture is ass and doesn't belong in the therian community. All that's required to be a therian is to have at least one theriotype, and it doesn't matter how much you go over that number.
Does anyone else notice it can be hard to properly explain to someone something about your identity, all because people have made everything set in stone?
Like apparently to be a lesbian your gender HAS to be female???
Or to be a therian you HAVE to have shifts???
People have just made it into this to the point where we have to go and explain in extra detail, or we have to go and ask "am I valid?" When we absolutely are.
We are stuck here trying to explain something that shouldn't have to be explained.
"you can't be a therian, you have too many theriotypes"
"you can't be a therian, you don't have a specific theriotype"
"you can't be a therian, you don't do quads"
"You can't be a therian, you don't own gear"
Ect.
(btw I've seen people say all of those)
I fucked up the last post oops
Anyways, out of curiosity, would anyone be down to make a zine with me? The theme is 'Therians against ear cropping in dogs'
I have no clue how to execute such a project, but the topic of ear cropping is super important to me as an entity with a canine theriotype whose ears are commonly cropped. So,
Don't feel pushed to say yes; I don't even know if it's something I'll be able to follow through with, myself, and it's not a 'oh if you say no you support and love ear cropping actually' thing.
I would love for this to reach as many entities as possible, so please reblog!/not forced
My honest reaction to getting stabbed: Aw fuck, not again
"A wooden stake through the heart is the only thing that can kill a werewolf/vampire" implies that any other kind of weapon through the heart does nothing. Like sure you can stab em with a steak knife but it won't do shit if it isn't wood.
Also can you imagine how embarrassing that would be. Like you stab someone THROUGH THE HEART and you think Aha! I've won! And theyre just kinda winded? Maybe annoyed?
Like ow man wtf?
'Trans men are invading lesbian spaces!'
'Lesbians can't like men!'
'Lesbians can't be men!'
Just say you hate men and go💀
The dog apparently experiences phantom pains, as well as having an unpleasant healing process for something that's completely unnecessary, so yes it does hurt the dog even if the initial cropping isn't painful due to being put under.
The only valid reason I can see for ear cropping (and tail docking) is the prevention of future injury from hunting trips and fights with humans. But there are people who do it for cosmetic reasons, as well as keeping up with 'breed standard' which is something I find greatly upsetting.
Doberman therian culture is being infuriated by all the people that crop their doberman's ears because it's 'more aesthetic' with zero regard for the dog's wellbeing.
isn't it also often done without anesthesia? ("ear cropping" involves the removal of part of the ear)

also look at them without the aesthetic changes vs with it ("tail docking" or the removal of the tail is also an extremely common practice)
