I think anyone can identify as anything they went, wolf, panda, whatever.

theres a big difference between thinking youre meant to be the opposite gender to thinking youre meant to be a wolf

But what makes one more legitimate than the other?
In my opinion, if you're to accept and support one, you must do the other. Furthermore, displaying such rejection to people's beliefs and customs is the source of many xenophobic beliefs, which include, but aren't limited to, racism racism and homophobia.

Tbh, I shouldn't be dignifying you with a response but I wonder, do you seriously think people expose themselves to the ridicule and torment for something they don't really believe in?
Alternatively, are you so deluded as to think that you're in any social position to render someone's opinion invalid simply because you couldn't see it? Isn't it the very differences between ourselves and others which grant us the gift of identity?

No, but that's what you do by mocking these people. I'm sure Magmandy would agree that you're a tnuc.

I didn't mock them either, it's an interesting phenomenon.
Comparing a hormone imbalance to identity issues in this context is just a bit much, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Why isn't that a hormone imbalance too? Why don't you respect them? What point are you trying to make?
I merely oppose Jadotism, the fear and rejection of individuals who are perceivably different from ourselves.

Transgender isn't just "thinking" you're meant to be the opposite sex. It's having the physical brain of one sex in the body of the other.
I think otherkin is a form of dissociation. People are anxious and want to flee the anxiety they associate with being 'human' and try to relate and express themselves as animals they feel reach their exisential ideal.

See what I don't understand is that you don't just wake up one day and be like.
Fuck me, i'm a wolf trapped inside a human.
Someone had to plant the idea in your head in the first place for you to even consider the thought! I only watched the first video but that bird seems like she goes home and watches the soaps, has a microwave meal for dinner and goes to bed. Just absolutely normal but found out about this otherkin stuff on the internet, found someone else who was into it and then just plays up to it when around them/in front of a camera.
She really didn't seem genuine.
Its interesting but it does beg the question : would many people be like this if there wasn't the internet to give the concept exposure? I doubt it.
