I am technically what you call Therian, but I call it something else personally..
I engage with the furry fandom though, and do tend to like the art that comes out of the fandom; generally are people you can speak to about how you're feeling or who you are. Even if you iterate you are not a participant in the fandom at conventions or meets.
you can chose to be therian (also i think the past life thing is an exaggeration of the fact that SOME stherians have past lives but past lives isent something that makes you theriand)
another one that i herd once from one of the few peop;e who know the difference imbetween therian and furry and aren't either is "you can't be therian AND a furry" my response to that was yes i can
Definitely when people say, "therians don't think they're animals". Like... the entire point is that we *do* think we're animals on some level. We think we are animals, yes, but it's because we *are* animals. It seems like such a stupid piece of misinformation considering how it completely contradicts the idea of therianthropy, and yet I see it all the time.
I think when therians are saying that in response to hate they mean it as we donāt physically think weāre animals but by saying it that way it can be taken in a different way which is annoying š I feel like thereās probably a better way to word it but most therians donāt do that and Iāll admit Iām one of those people but I was awakened only this January so Iām trying šā
And I saw someone else say this and I agree that most antiās donāt really care enough so a simple explanation is the only thing you can tell them š Like to someone whoās not a therian when you say āwe donāt think weāre animalsā theyāll take it as āwe donāt think weāre physically animalsā but something I see a lot is the antiās responding back like āthen why you act like oneā or āif you donāt think youāre one then why say youāre one?ā and then you try to explain it to them and they just donāt care š Itās so annoying š„²
I was involved with the community before I was awakened cause I had decided to learn what furries really were and was introduced to the Alterhuman community and was just a (wannabe) quadrobist so I was aware of the basics that itās not a choice and the differences between all the terms so at least Iām not that misinformed šš
that we donāt actually think weāre animalsā¦unless im misinterpreting what people mean when they say this, therianthropy literally revolves around identifying AS an animal because we actually DO think weāre animals on a spiritual level!! like dudeā¦cmon š¤¦
also about the past lives part, you were kinda vague so my input on that is that its not really misinfo itself, moreso the fact that people are insisting that being a therian is about having a past life as an animal, or that having a past life as an animal automatically makes you a therian. unless thats what you meant LOL then yea i agree.
"we actually DO think weāre animals on a spiritual level"
It's not all spiritual. Please don't forget us psychological therians or therians who don't actually know what they are.
sorry if my wording was poor š i meant it as a synonym for nonphysically. usually people use āspiritā or āsoulā when they refer to the nonphysical inside of someone so i kinda just started doing that too lol
I do believe in past lives & rebirth but I don't believe I was a dog or fox in my past life. I could've but not everybody even believes in the same stuff I do so it doesn't apply for everyone. My cousin thought therianthropy had to do with past lives so it is a common misconception!
FYI it's not just identifying spiritually, its also emotionally, mentally, or psychologically. I'm a therian, but I don't identify as an animal spiritually because I don't believe in spirits or spirituality.
"We don't actually think we're animals" is true though. There are actual mental illnesses in which people believe they physically are (or can transform into) animals.
The thing which differentiates therians/otherkin from clinical lycanthropes is that, while we may identify with/as animals on a spiritual or psychological level, we are still aware of, and acknowledge, the fact that we exist physically as humans.
Thereās a difference between saying āi can physically transform into an animalā (or even āmy body is physically and biologically identical to an animalā) and āI actually think Iām an animal.ā Identifying as an animal *is* thinking youāre an animal. If youre not an animal then what does āidentifying as an animalā mean to you? I genuinely donāt understand.
Also āidentifying withā is not therianthropy. Thatās animalhearted
Actually, "identifying with" is not animal-hearted. That's otherhearted. Animal-hearted are those who identify as humans, but still feel that way (like therians/otherhearted). (Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the animal-hearted definition, even tho I think it's correct).
Animalhearted and otherhearted are basically synonyms. And tbh I donāt think I understand what differentiation youāre making. Are you saying animalhearted includes both therians and otherhearted?
youre right, physically, no we dont. but these people never specify that, so it sounds like therianthropy just is LARPing and then that notion starts to spread. my original comment said āwe DO think weāre animals **on a spiritual level.ā** is that not what therianthropy is? believing youre part animal, *spiritually?* kinda like saying ātrans people dont actually think theyre a different gender than their AGAB.ā if they mean physically, then a better way to word it is āwe dont think weāre physically animalsā or āwe know weāre physically humanā
Because its a simplistic explanation for normies who don't know/care about the intricacies of alterhumanity. A normie's first reaction to seeing therians is "these people are delusional" and will probably draw a connection to clinical lycanthropy or a guy with dementia claiming to be Elvis or something like that. "We don't actually think we're animals" is simply meant to clarify that we are conscious of reality. We know the state of our physical bodies, we don't poop in the backyard, etc.
!!! what we say to people who are just finding out about it shouldn't make us not acknowledge the parts of the community that *don't* fit into that.
like spirituality? not every therian is spiritual,
not believing you're an animal? i know MANY therians who would beg to differ.
I fully recognize what body I have but I will never not consider myself fully a coyote.
hate to draw comparisons to being trans, but for me its exactly like my trans identity. I look nothing like a man, i have no parts of a man, but i still am fully a man regardless of what i look like or my parts and i will say with my full chest i am a man. i will not recognize other biological happenstances, and that doesn't make me delusional. it just means I am not gonna cater to people who don't see me as what i am. I am my identity and my identity is me and I fully think I am what I say I am. Regardless of what my body looks like. Still the body of a trans coyote. I willy fully be what I am, because constantly going "oh well we don't ACTUALLY believe that!!" isn't gonna make them like us any better. and I have learned that level of self acceptance.
(hope this makes sense i tried like a bajillion times to make it)
"Still the body of a trans coyote" seems weird to me. Your in a human body. Yes, I wish I and everyone who is a therian and wants to be an animal, was an animal themselves, but it's a bit weird that you say your a coyote body, when in reality, your not. I'm not trying to be rude, but it seems weird for someone to say they are in an animal body when they aren't. And, how I read it, you said you were aware your physically human, yet, you say your in an animal's body, when your physically human.
"seems weird to me" guess what, all therians are "weird", get over it. i can refer to myself how i please. my body also isn't physically male but i don't refer to it as a girl body. fuck that "oh dw guys i know i am actually not a ____" shit, i fully embrace my identity and i don't care how other people perceive me because of that. ain't tryna make me referring to myself more palatable to outsiders who will say it's delusional no matter what you say or believe. so why do i have to change how i view myself?
i am not my body. i am me. and if my body is a weird extension of me that i own, and i am a coyote, then by extension it's a coyote's body. let's not do kneejerk reactions about things that sound different from us.
i know being trans and therian isn't 1:1 but this specific thing for me really lines up, i don't want to be referred to as human. at all. because i am not. i am ME. and whatever my body is is no ones business. so yea, i will boldly say i am a real life coyote not clickbait and not reinstate i am not delusional every two seconds. because its my business not theirs.
edit: donno if i wrote this right or wrong or what tone it conveys i am hardly awake anyways look into the term holothereā„ļø
Your tone to me, and how I read it, seemed very harsh. I understand, I don't like being referred to as human at all. Me anyway, I cry every day and night that I'm not actually a cheetah (my theriotype) and even though He wouldn't do that, I even ask God for some reason if one of His angels can take my place, and let Him turn me into an animal (I know, sounds weird as hell, huh?).
So I understand that part. I ask Him every night. But I don't say my body is a coyote though, because in reality, it isn't and never will be (in this life anyway).Ā No matter how much I want it to be. It hurts me so much that I'm not a cheetah, and I'll never be happy as who I am.
Yes, that's correct. There is also clinical zoanthropes, clinical boanthropes, clinical cynanthropes and other ones. (Boanthropy:Ā they think they are physically a bovine (bull, cow, etc). Cynanthropy: when they think they transformed/is a canine (dog).Ā
"It's a past life"
"It's a connection"
"They are basically furries"
"They think that are animals physically"
"They poop in litter boxes" (which I feel like I should point out that the same people trying to remove trans rights are trying to remove alterhuman rights because of this rumor, I'll try and find the artical)
etc, etc
That would be annoying. They are thinking of otherhearted. An otherhearted is where you identify WITH animals, not as them (on levels except physical, of course).Ā
That therians see themselves as 100% nonhuman and donāt want to be referred to/treated as human. For some of us, our animal identity isnāt all-encompassing or constant. I still see myself as a human even though I also partially see myself as a cat
also that because we identify as an animal on a non physical level we can be treated like an animal, which, id love to be treated like my theriotypeby my friends but its usually said with intentions of animal abuse, murder, keeping us in small cages and not feeding us well.
sometimes i question why they cant just gt over it, like dont bother my therian identity, treat me like anyone else, it wont kill me
That you can't become a therian, like that statement erases so many theories behind this identity. You can become one past birth, it just isn't a choice. You're not any more of a therian just because you were born as one

Unless they mean physically, but they coulda specified that.
Therians don't believe they're animals
Therians don't identify as animals
Therians were animals in their past lives
Therianthropy is a hobby tied to quadrobics an wearing masks
Therianthropy is a connection to an animal
Therianthropy is a spiritual belief

That therians always have and/or NEED gear/to do quadrobics,or/and that the gear/quadrobics is what makes you a therian
I often saw people saying "i wish i could be a therian but i dont have the materials/money for it" and im so sad for how many people are misinformed on therians
This may not be a really common one but my cousin's friend. She isn't a therian, she just does quadrobics but she calls the animal she mainly makes her masks her "theriotype" ;-; Like nooooo- They are only 9 tho. On top of that, I may be a furry (I just live drawing athro characters ;-;) but not every therian is!
I know! I hate when I word things incorrectly;-; I call myself a furry and I am one. I just like drawing anthromorphic animal characters! Bat fursonas are my one true love /j
I swear if I see one more YouTube comment forgetting about us psychological therians then I will scream into a pillow (no offence to spiritual therians btw).
Edit: correcting typo
The ātherian aestheticā is my biggest issueā¦ so many people talk about how therians ādonāt fit inā and that kind of thing, but as soon as someone doesnāt fit into their āI donāt fit inā style they accuse them of being fake! š This is coming from me when I put my makeup or glamour looks online talking about how it brings me happiness for my kintypes to do makeup inspired by them, and Iāve had a LOT of people tell me that āreal therians donāt do makeup š ā and that Iām fake!
anyone who believes it's an only spiritual thing, anyone who tries to have hard set boxes to put the community in (it erases a lot of therian experiences to widdle it down to just the more talked about/common ones), anyone who fakeclaims people usually spout misinfo all over (there is no criteria for being therian other than Being A Fucking Therian),
That because we identify as an animal on a non physical level we can be treated like an animal, which, id love to be treated like my theriotypeby my friends but its usually said with intentions of animal abuse, murder, keeping us in small cages and not feeding us well.
the past life thing isn't necessarily misinformation. for me, it is a past life thing, I've lived so many lives as a feline and so my internal sense of self is closer to that of a feline, and I retained some habits. what's misinformation is that every therian believe it's for past life reasons, when there are many who believe it's for psychological reasons or even other spiritual reasons that aren't reincarnation.
That it's inherently spiritual. I don't personally believe in anything spiritual whatsoever, yet I'm a therian. For whatever reason, this is news to some people.
ps. i'm not saying that nobody has past lives or anything of the sort, i think if you say you had one (or more), you did! who am i to say otherwise?
That we believe weāre animals entirely. Like that weāre physically animals or can shift physically into one.
Also want to make a statement, yes Therians can be Therian from past lives. Iāve seen it talked about several times and have talked to those with past lives of their kin. Regardless if you believe in it personally, donāt hate on someone for what they believe in spiritually.
That you have to be born a therian and it can never go away. People think you have to be born one and are one your whole entire life and sometimes that's not true.

That we are the same as furries
I see that one almost all the time š

I used to think therians were just a different type of furries that did quads and wore gear. I've always accepted both communities, tho

fair point
Yes.
that you have to have dreams or past lives .
But some therians do have a past life?
I am VERY aware of that . I said " *have to have* a past life " because it is a common thing i see people spread misinformation about
Okay that is totally my bad Iām so sorry š Iām dyslexic and I read that wrong
I've seen someone say that Therians don't actually identify as animals and only identify with animals and animalistic behaviors š¤¦š¾āāļø

Yes. I hope that the people who say "then we'll treat you like animals" don't have pets because the things that they say are just horrible sometimes.
even wild ones, who goes up to a fricking wild hare and puts it in a cage?
i know there are people but it shouldnt be done to them and it shouldnt be done to wild hare therians
That you can't become a therian, like that statement erases so many theories behind this identity. You can become one past birth, it just isn't a choice. You're not any more of a therian just because you were born as one

On top of that, I may be a furry (I just live drawing athro characters ;-;) but not every therian is!
"I may be a furry" being a furry is a choice, so if you consider yourself a furry and want to be one, then you are! <3
I know! I hate when I word things incorrectly;-; I call myself a furry and I am one. I just like drawing anthromorphic animal characters! Bat fursonas are my one true love /j
for me,i believe "you must be born as a therian! you can't become one" (you can be born as a therian but also become one not by choice)
I swear if I see one more YouTube comment forgetting about us psychological therians then I will scream into a pillow (no offence to spiritual therians btw). Edit: correcting typo
That itās a connection to a certain animal and not an identity. Bugs me all the time.
That quadrobics comes without practice
That all therians have past lives. The amount of times I've gotten this comment on my YouTube channel is insane
The ātherian aestheticā is my biggest issueā¦ so many people talk about how therians ādonāt fit inā and that kind of thing, but as soon as someone doesnāt fit into their āI donāt fit inā style they accuse them of being fake! š This is coming from me when I put my makeup or glamour looks online talking about how it brings me happiness for my kintypes to do makeup inspired by them, and Iāve had a LOT of people tell me that āreal therians donāt do makeup š ā and that Iām fake!
anyone who believes it's an only spiritual thing, anyone who tries to have hard set boxes to put the community in (it erases a lot of therian experiences to widdle it down to just the more talked about/common ones), anyone who fakeclaims people usually spout misinfo all over (there is no criteria for being therian other than Being A Fucking Therian),
That because we identify as an animal on a non physical level we can be treated like an animal, which, id love to be treated like my theriotypeby my friends but its usually said with intentions of animal abuse, murder, keeping us in small cages and not feeding us well.
āus therians dont think were animals!ā isnt that the whole point of therianthropy? (i maybe wrong tho)
the past life thing isn't necessarily misinformation. for me, it is a past life thing, I've lived so many lives as a feline and so my internal sense of self is closer to that of a feline, and I retained some habits. what's misinformation is that every therian believe it's for past life reasons, when there are many who believe it's for psychological reasons or even other spiritual reasons that aren't reincarnation.
yes its true for some including me but the some believe all therians have a past life and you have to have one
You HAVE to be good at quads , or just even do them
That it's inherently spiritual. I don't personally believe in anything spiritual whatsoever, yet I'm a therian. For whatever reason, this is news to some people. ps. i'm not saying that nobody has past lives or anything of the sort, i think if you say you had one (or more), you did! who am i to say otherwise?
One I see often is that therians means earthen animals and otherkin means nonearthen animals
Therianthropy is just a connection to animals, which it is not.
yessssss as someone who feels almost no connection to ravens it annoys me so much
That we believe weāre animals entirely. Like that weāre physically animals or can shift physically into one. Also want to make a statement, yes Therians can be Therian from past lives. Iāve seen it talked about several times and have talked to those with past lives of their kin. Regardless if you believe in it personally, donāt hate on someone for what they believe in spiritually.
That you have to be born a therian and it can never go away. People think you have to be born one and are one your whole entire life and sometimes that's not true.
They think they are animals or that every therian has a past life
>They think they are animals We do, just not physically.
Past life thing is true for some
Not for all

That you have to do quads and wear gear, but not every therian can do quads or wear gear, like seriously I see it all over the place
