Ok so this is going to come off as rude...but as the one who came up with the concept of theriform I have to specify;
It is not an identity label.
It is a term to allow us to talk about members of our species whose bodily structure and levels of sapience are typical for that of our species, without using invalidating terms like 'biological (animal)' or 'real (animal)'.
If those who were born into differently shaped bodies with human-level sapience start to use it too the term becomes meaningless and inaccurate.
Please do not use it as an identity label.
ik this isn't technically a queer thing, but my parents got me a rainbow collar for Christmas, and I see it as a peace offering?
they don't know about me not being a human at all from my knowledge and it could very well just be like a "alt fashion" gift (+ rainbow to support queer child) but id like to think it's a silent recognizing of me being different
yoooo!!! that would be awesome if they somehow caught the vibe without you having to tell them! at the very least, that might actually make that conversation easier if it ever has to happen. either way, i'm glad you got something affirming, that's awesome!
merry christmas! i hope you have a great new year as well!
I wish boobs were detachable. Because sometimes I want to look like a genderless being, other times the outfit needs boobs.
thank you for responding and sharing your experience!!
are there any nonhuman who are their species due to trauma with that species? I know of those who are their species caused by a trauma response but for example, a dogkin because they had been bitten by a dog
no one has to share due to trauma being a personal experience, but if anyone would like too I am very curious and would like to learn more!
“i‘m sorry anakin, for all of it“
I have SO many stuffed animals and plushies it's like what I'm known for irl a lot of the time, they just make me happy :3
but for some reason beanie boos specifically are the only type of plushie I want to customize and make little outfits for. I give plenty of my plushies back stories but don't really make them outfits or jewelry but when it comes to beanie boos, it's just more natural to do so?
maybe it's just me but it's fun :3
Fun facts for dollkins/therians! :DDDDD
Dolls date back thousands of years. Some of the oldest known dolls were found in ancient Egyptian tombs, crafted from materials like clay, wood, and stone :0 Dolls are often used in rituals, ceremonies, and as symbols of protection or fertility! Over time, dolls have been made from a wide range of materials, including porcelain, wax, cloth, plastic, and even papier-mâché! Doll collecting is a popular hobby worldwide. Collectors often seek rare or vintage dolls, and there are specialized markets and conventions for doll enthusiasts! Many artists use dolls as a medium for artistic expression :] Throughout history, dolls have been associated with superstitions and beliefs. For example, in some cultures, dolls were believed to possess spirits or bring good luck, while in others, they were seen as omens of misfortune if mistreated :[

👾 - is your _type real or fictional?
👽 - do you enjoy being a […] (therian, otherkin, ect. Just put your label here)
🧷 - what's the reason of your identity? You can say that you don't know. (Ex. "My theriantrophy is spiritual)
💚 - what are your beliefs? Does it affect your identity?
⚧️ - does your _type have a different gender/sex than you? Do you even know your _type's gender?
🧤 - do you own any gear? If yes, what is it?

dw about being tired lol I get it, something that helps me personally if I do get species dysphoria is, I was born as my species, so whatever body I have *is* my species. sure it may not be stereotypically correct but it still is!! I'm a Ringtail, just my body looks a little different. and ik it is different for everyone (how they experience this) but this little statement helps me feel better. but I get what you're saying!!! I still do a lot to feel less human and more animal, I hope your journey goes well!! and my eyes you'll always be a dog :3
OH MY GOD. PHYSICAL THERIANS ARE VALID. this shouldn't be discourse. if you are a physical anything, you are valid. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream resources available saying it's all nonphysical or it's only okay if you "recognize your human body"
my body has never fucking been human and it never ever will be. for some, they do have a human body or partially do!!! and many of us don't as well!!!!
I am physically and biologically a ringtail and have never ever been human in literally any way. sure my sapience is higher but does that mean anything? NO I'm so frustrated and upset
thank you for reading my rant
I love my girlfriend so much she makes me so happy, they make feel so genuine and real. I was having really bad cramps and to help me feel better he grabbed my hand and told me to growl and we just growled at each other and it helped so much too be animalistic like that. she's my number one supporter and I'd do anything for him 🫶🫶
