hold to zoom! sorry the writing is tiny lol. click the arrows to advance or go back, and remix your own bingo results! therianthropy is a term used by people who involuntarily identifies as a non-human animal. it is a synonym for animalkin. therianthropy belongs under the umbrella of otherkinity and alterhumanity, however one does not have to use those labels if they are a therian. as a therian, i am not made up of gear, my identity is not defined by how i look. i’m going to try to unpack physical therianthropy here too, but as i do not experience it, please take this definition with a grain of salt, and please inform me if i’ve misinterpreted it! metaphorical physical therians are people who experience their therianthropy physically in a metaphorical sense. this does not mean that they are delusional, merely that they view their physical state as an extension of their internal one, similar to how a trans woman still might identify their body as a woman’s because it belongs to them, a woman, a physical cat therian identifies their body as that of a cat, because it belongs to them, a cat. i hope this clears some misinfo up ^^
