We didn't think we'd class as a therian or otherkin ourselves. Then we read a Tumblr comic during the animal HRT collab event and, erm... yeah 😅
@Jenetrix Yeah. We vibed a LOT more than we'd like to openly admit with the (non-human) animal HRT comics 😅
We'd already unpacked a lot of guilt and repression to admit, albeit less openly than we probably should have, that we felt the term "furry" might apply to us. Even there, we were worried about a lot of prejudice and misunderstanding from loved ones, family, and friends 🥺
It didn't help that we wouldn't and don't want a fur suit or other things that people mistakenly (and commonly) think all furries must have or want.
We wouldn't want all the attributes of a cat, as growing fur back after so much laser and electrolysis would be uncomfortable and impractical for us, but if we could choose which feline qualities we could take on (e.g., ears, tail, retractable claws, pads on our feet/hands, ability to jump higher and climb multiple surfaces, amazing flexibility, etc.), and it were possible for us to do this without being even more stigmatised in society or losing people over it, we would genuinely do that.
The closest we can currently get most of the time is cat ears on our headphones... plus some catgirl animation overrides on our RuneScape character 😅
