Heads Up, May Change The Theme Of My Side Blog (link) To Match Another Kin Type Of Mine (sharks Most

Heads up, may change the theme of my side blog (link) to match another kin type of mine (sharks most likely). Thought I would warn anyone who cares, just so it's not thrusted on you like the theme change with this one lmfao

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

The transmasc experience of being a dog

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!

I literally had a dream last night (as of writing this it is the dawn of January 11th 2024) that included me meeting (and hanging out with) Serj in a Walmart 😭

System Of A Down made a press release announcing that Serj Tankian passed away, and then a few minutes later they had to cancel the announcement because he somehow came back, and was found in a Five Guys, for some reason.
