Of all the fake genders, the ones based around OCD bother me the most. I don’t have OCD myself, but I do have some compulsive behaviours and they are some of the worst things I have to deal with. And it’s so clear to me that the people who claim OCD is a gender have never had an anxiety-based compulsion in their lives.
I have severe OCD, and the ocd genders send me into a blind fucking rage.
I have to admit that watching this blog is hard sometimes.
The number and types of things people are making genders for make me cringe.
“nice” homophobes are still homophobes. religious homophobes are still homophobes. homophobes who swear up and down they aren’t homophobes but dont “condone the lgbt lifestyle” are still homophobes
its 2018, no more excuses. you either support us 100% or you dont at all.
On the other hand, fuck off. Some people have a genuine belief that being gay will send you to hell. (No I’m not talking about that one line in the Bible, I’m talking about shit like the Mormon church where the Prophet is a direct spokesman for god and cas condemned it.)
If these people say nothing and do nothing to you, say nothing and do nothing to any person, and only support and love you they are doing a good service. The fact that they believe you are going to hell means they don’t 100% support you, sure. But these people have no other choice, they believe a power greater than themselves has spoken and inherently they cannot change that.
Saying you have to believe certain things to be unproblematic is why there is such division – we should be judged for our actions.
did this person rly just cite mormons as a gotcha
“homophobia is bad”
“but WHAT ABOUT… MORMONS?”
Did this person just justify religious discrimination of LGBT folks, as if they have no choice in what to believe, under the blog name “rational-discourse”? Its smelling like Russian Troll Blog in here folks..
Now, now, don’t be so harsh. After all, nearly all horses are smarter than Trump.
While I was considering ways to try to filter through people coming to the servers and channels I run, I came to an interesting idea that I think works and I do want to share it.
Part of an intro should be a single life experience that one attributes to otherkin or therianthropy, or an instinctual response to a kin/therian situation that indicates one responds to it differently than a human would.
I will give a prime example that applies to myself.
When most humans think of a hen house and chicken coop, will think about raising chickens and collecting eggs.
When I think about it, I think about going in there and coming out with a chicken’s neck in my mouth.
I don’t DO it, because, I know i’m physically human and it won’t turn out the same way it would if I were physically a fox, but my mind, goes there first.
In my minds eye I see myself as a fox, doing fox things, It is extra effort for me to do things the ‘human accepted way’ and there are many mental constructs I have for translating my first instinct to a proper human action. However I manage to do so anyway and fit myself into this human life.
It is examples like these that I think provides some evidence of a ‘difference’ between the human and therian/otherkin mind.
And TL;DR: in the future when people join my therian or otherkin communities, I will be asking for this, just one situation in ones life that one can attribute to therian or otherkin nature. I don’t think it is too much to ask, and I don’t think the trolls can do it, or will do it because its a tantamount admission to something they are trying to troll.

Therian Questionnaire
This is the questionnaire mentioned in the Therian Nation video “Therianthropy is Not a Competition”. https://youtu.be/nAuIOC7bN6U
It is also mentioned in our previous post which was a transcript of the video.
https://theriannation.tumblr.com/post/174279639847/therianthropy-is-not-a-competitionThese questions are a great way to learn more about yourself, and you should probably answer them again every few months to a year to see how your experiences have changed or stayed the same. This is also a good way to introduce yourself to the community. So of course feel free to copy and use them wherever you’d like to.
1) What is your Screen Name/Therian Name?
2) Are you a Standard Therian (one therioside) or Polytherian (multiple theriosides)?
3) What species is your Therioside/Kintype? List multiple if you have more than one.
4) Are you able to make the vocalizations of your Therioside/Kintype?
5) Are you a Spiritual Therian or Psychological Therian or Both?
6) What is the origin/cause of your Therianthropy? (ex: soul is an animal)
7) How long have you been awakened?
8) What shifts (if any) have you experienced?
Mental
Phantom
Dream
Sensory
Astral/Spirit/Aura
Cameo
None (Feel nonhuman in other ways)
None (Contherian-always shifted)9) How did you discover/conclude that you were a Therianthrope? It’s okay to say you are still learning/questioning.
10) What does Therianthropy/being a Therian mean to you?
11) If you choose to, share one embarrassing moment due to being a Therian.
12) What hobbies do you enjoy?

1) Alynna, and its my primary name. (not given, or true name)
2) Polytherian.
3) Primarily fox, secondarily rabbit. I have aspects or “other parts of myself” which are unicorn and dragonness, however I do not consider those to be therian types, but kintypes, though unicorn is pretty close to being a horse when it comes to what you feel. Being fae is part of ALL of the previously mentioned types.
4) For fox, yes, most of them. Rabbits usually live in silence. The other two, well unicorns don’t usually talk like horses and dragons just talk like dragons.
5) Both. I believe ones spiritual history have a direct effect on the type of mind you will develop during life, because the spirit influences the mind constantly. My belief primarily stems from the experience from how my own mind has developed.
6) My spirit is primarily one of a fae-fox. I noted at a very early age that my mind worked very different from others, and from the ages 7-16 I didn’t even have any internet so I kinda believed I was alone with that.
7) I can trace my first awakening event to when I was 7 but won’t describe it in detail on a public Tumblr. So about 33 years now. Once I got internet access at around 17 it still took me a year to find the therian and otherkin communities, and that was about 24 years ago now.
8) All of those, but as I understand cameo, thats like temporarily shifting into something else.. I do feel that some aspects of myself allow for some measure of shapeshifting, but I suppose most of them, I don’t try to trigger on my own. I don’t know all the new terms well.
9) I didn’t even know what therianthropy was until I got on the internet and even then it wasn’t defined as therianthropy, it was more an extension of being a “were-creature”. The word “therianthropy” didn’t come till later. There used to be some documents out there that described therian experiences like superliminal limbs and atypical urges (wont get into detail here) and many of my experiences mirrored what was documented.
Discovering specifically what I am was more about learning about animals and comparing their traits to my own, and having alot of feline and canine traits, combined with the color patterns I saw in meditations and introspections drew me to the conclusion that I am more foxlike than anything. Before introspection I didn’t really have the context of what a fox is, and went between animals that had some of the traits I felt and experienced.
I knew early on that I had multiple tails, which was confusing to me at first until someone told me about kitsune (I did not know and back in 1997 or so it was not a common creature to know about), and most of the other things I had discovered about myself fell into place. The primary theriotype I identify as now, is the same one I have identified as for the last 20 years.
10) What it primarily means to me is that I am a fox (primarily), I feel fox things, I have fox instincts and sensations, and.. I’m not sure what else its supposed to mean to me. To me it’s always been what it is.
11) One time I was caught rolling around in my back yard, rubbing my head against the ground and that kind of stuff. That’s kind of mild but it will work.
12) I do things but I don’t know that I have a hobby.
Where are the therians who don’t believe in reincarnation or are indifferent about the cause of their therianthropy and are totally fine with that????????
Reincarnation is a valid theory and the best one I have heard so far, if we have spent different lifetimes as different things, it would make sense that our spirits would retain a sense of them between lives, and also draw a certain bias towards the type of animal that worked best for that spirit, or has been the majority of incarnations.
However that does not mean that other explanations and theories are not valid either. I believe in my case I am both spiritual and mental/psychological therian, I believe one causes the other.
Me, during pride: This is a gays only event, everyone else go home
What I actually mean: This is a gays, lesbians, bisexuals (even those in mlw pairings), transgender mens and womens, queers, genderqueers, non-bianarys, asexuals, and all other members of the LGBTQ+ community event only, plus the good allies who treat us like people and don’t sexualize us or patronize us haha. I only say “gays only” because it’s a fun little meme in the LGBTQ+ community, but I really do want Pride to be for everyone!
There are many impressionable minds here on tumblr. Please don’t make this a meme.
normalize polyamorous people having families and raising children together. destroy the idea that the nuclear family is the default, that it’s the best option for everyone, that it’s the only option that “counts” and that any other kind of family is automatically unhealthy and ‘bad’.
I don’t normally reblog NB discourse, but when I do, its to promote ideas like these.
Gorochu, Pikachu’s supposed third evolution | Artworks by liezl
Pikachu Was Originally Supposed To Have A Third Evolution In Pokémon, Gorochu
…the Pikachu line should have FOUR EVOLUTIONS
Pikachu could have an nearly infinite number of evolutions ending at Galactichu, and its final form would be the universe as we know it
Just a (fae) phouka kitsune type thing. I’ve been out as otherkin and therian for over 20 years, and been awakened for even longer than that. I’m demi and lean towards female gender.
