Title: otherkin a real thing or psychiatric disorder?
Post by: mewtwo55555 on January 22, 2012, 07:18:23 PM

So would you say that otherkin theian ect is a real thing in that these people are having genuine spiritual experiences or would you say they are haveing some sort of psychotic break mabye some species dysphoria?
 
I concider myself to be not fully human in spirit.
 
IMO otherkin ect is just to new mabye in like a couple of hundred years if it lasts the test of time then we could call it a spiritual thing but untill then um i lean more twords the mental disorder type thing.
 
Thoughts?
 
Thanks

Nothing I say will be viewed with much joy by therians.


So I will limit myself to saying that you may be animal in spirit, you are still human.

The idea of being otherkin or a therian is a belief, not a psychosis. It is your choice to believe if you think the sensation is real or not.
