i think otherkin/fictionkin is kind of offensive to people who are trans on the female/male/nonbinary spectrum because no one is going to take those who actually have gender dysphoria seriously because you think you’re a dragon and you prefer the pronoun of “mermaid man/barnacle boy”…

i meant born with female/male genitalia and the chromosomes that would have dictated a female/male gender. sex does not = gender, and i made that in reference to sex. i did do my research but was informed that both the people i talked to and the websites i visited were innaccurate

like if you…

being otherkin has nothing to do with gender…

i literally made an apology post so if you could read that it would be appreciated 

im sorry to any otherkin people who i may have offended with my post. i was under the impression that the troll blogs were not troll blogs and thought i had done my research. i know the people who say the ocean or superman or a cat is their gender is a minority, and that being otherkin does not have a bind on your gender so if you could not send me anon hate that would be great (the posts i posted are not hate btw they are people trying to inform me, but i have received some) and like i said, i believe my post applies to a VERY small majority who takes advantage of the acceptance in the other kin community. so, otherkinfaq and demigirlalmighty thank you for telling me this. i honestly thought i had done my research so plz don’t lecture me on that. i tend not to look at ‘SO AND SO iSN’T LEGITTT!!!’ because i don’t really know any of that. i will not be deleting my post because i have nothing to hide or be ashamed of, as i was misinformed. again i stand my ground that this applies to a majority, but i realise otherkin is NOT gender, they can be cis/trans/nonbinary/agender. while it is not something i can understand on a personal level, i will try to vocalize my opinions in a more thoughtful way.

i think that there’s a difference between someone identifying with a certain animal because it’s part of their culture 

i think it’s another thing entirely for someone without tribal culture (a 100% white bread 16 year old chick on the internet, for example) claiming she’s captain america 

though i do see the other side of it, and i’m not telling anyone that they can or cannot be otherkin, but it’s just something i find disrespectful towards those who are trans

Why r u ignoring the multiple TRANS otherkin folk who r trying to educate u????? I know multiple ppl reblogged ur post with info and I sent u an ask telling u I’m nonbinary and otherkin. Stop ignoring us. Lmao.

literally i posted this like a day ago??? and i had school today??? im not ignoring anyone 

i didn’t realise the troll blogs weren’t accurate and was in the process of making another post apologizing but i think my point still stands for the minority of otherkin who utilize this as their gender, not something they identify with and if you want to inbox me off anon so i can reply privately i’d appreciate it 

Anonymous said: Good on u for not respecting ppls beliefs and ignoring all the actual otherkin trying to educate u COOL

um i haven’t had the chance to respond to any otherkin so if any of you want to message me i will be 110% glad to respond ok

my brother wanted to bring slutty brownies to the church superbowl party so he called them promiscuous brownies 

UPDATE: everyone called them “slutty brownies” and thought he was crazy
