Therians, also known as therianthropes, are individuals who identify as one or more nonhuman animals, partially or entirely, on a personal level, which they call their theriotypes.[2][3][4][5] Therians are often considered a subset of otherkin.[6][7] The enduring experience of identifying as a nonhuman animal, as well as the broader lived experience of therians, is commonly referred to as therianthropy.[8][9]

              I think it’s political realism. People are conditioned to uphold consensus reality by the media. Because if people started choosing our own species, and interpreting our condition for ourselves, why, we might decide not to believe in the “objective” reality of capitalism, or the patriarchy, or the borders.

              What I’m saying is, otherkinity is a gateway drug to throwing off the perceptual tyranny of the “real”. I should know; I became an antirealist right after I accepted My species identity.
