Physical Therians exist and are a part of our community.
Therians who are unaware of their humanity exist and are part of our community
Therians with disabilities exist and are a part of our community
Therianthropy is not voluntary, it is not about gear, it is not something you choose to participate in or leave (although you do not have to interact with the community)
There is a wide spectrum of Therians out there; discrediting any of them is extremely rude. Therians are Therians as long as they understand what that label is and identify with it.
Stop saying therianthropy is strictly spiritual/past lives, that it is strictly non-physical, or that all therians are aware of their humanity (esp. if you say it's at all times)
