I've been lurking that thread from time to time today and yeah... can't believe some of the things being said there.

What's an Otherkin?

Otherkin are people who identify as partially or entirely non-human. Some say that they are, in spirit if not in body, not human. This is explained by some members of the otherkin community as possible through reincarnation, having a non-human soul, ancestry, or symbolic metaphor.

Usually people who ask this are the ones that don't take transgender people seriously to begin with and need to be taken to task. They think it's all "pretending" so to them it's like asking "Well you're pretending to be a ninja, so why can't he pretend to be a helicopter".

They and their defenders like to co-opt transgender language and I've had at least one completely negate my struggle and say that I was lucky because he can never be a dragon.

This is exactly right. It's akin to those folks who say if we let gays marry then we have to let people marry goats or toasters..

I don't think it's pretending. That's the point I was trying to make. I thought the entire idea was that we weren't supposed to be making judgements on real vs fake? That if you see something in a dressing room then you don't assume that they are faking or get into a panic about what they are doing there. If the only dividing lines between the two is that one is considered completely and utterly "impossible" then fair enough, I can understand that. But I think that is a very shallow point tbh. A for me, I will try to treat people with a degree of respect even if I understand them or the way they are living.

Edit: If I've messed up badly pm me.

You claimed trans people might be to make a point, that's fucked up. They aren't comparable.
