I Have Recently Seen A Few Posts Hating On Those Who Spiritually Connect To Their Kintypes/theriotypes/etc.

I have recently seen a few posts hating on those who spiritually connect to their kintypes/theriotypes/etc. Addressing this felt important.

We are meant to be an inclusive community. Do not allow a false sense of superiority allow you to feel as if you are above people in the same community as you. Everyone here is hated on by outside people enough, we have to stick together and stop trying to tear our community apart. It is only achieving infighting and spreading our community far too thin.

Physical therians/otherkin/nonhumans are valid and belong here. Spiritual therians/otherkin/nonhumans are valid and belong here. Those who identify in all sorts of ways belong here and are valid.

Stop distancing yourself from the only ones that will truly have your back.

I am an animal stuffed into a weird human-shaped box

I wish to escape but can't, so I am forced to be wrong forever

You do not have to have dragon shifts as a dragonkin/therian.

You do not need to have cat phantom shifts in order to be a cat.

You can be a werewolf and be mentally a cat.

You can be an alligator, but behave like a snake instead.

You can be a bat, but never get bat-like urges.

You can be an existing animal with 'impossible' features, i.e, a wolf with wings, a cat with a feathered tail, a crane with wolf-like fur, etc.

You don't have to have shifts at all to identify as something.

You don't need to be congruent in every single way, identity can be messy and weird. You really do not need to be a badger in every way. You can just be a badger in one way, but not the other, but that doesn't take away from you being a badger.

Shoutout to humanoid kintypes

Shoutout to kintypes where it's near impossible to find gear to match what you feel

Shoutout to kintypes where you're the only one

any therian born after 1993 cant write... all they know is the milk carton, make they tails, do quads, be transsexual, eat hot chip & lie

Theriantok is very heavily centered around ableism and fatphobia. Transphobia and racism too but thats a conversation for a different time.

Much of theriantok is based around quadrobics and masks, not that this is a bad thing by itself! But it leaves open little room for people trying to spread information!

The algorithm pushes out people with pretty scenery, good quality, a nice mask, skinny body and very good quads.

This leads younger therians, (who are oft3n actually otherhearted) to only see that side! Only seeing past lives and connections, only seeing skinny bodies doing perfect quads with very palatable feelings.

Animal urges are demonized, doing messy quads is ugly.

Being fat gets you nowhere, your just cringe.

If your delusional in any way they hate you, and say your promoting delusions.

You must be sane, you must be skinny, you must be pretty.

I hate this culture on tiktok, i want to SEE my fellow freaks and creatures, animals who arent fully sane and their therianthropy stems from delusion. Animals who run around in the mud and growl at strangers.

I want animals like me.
