We are probably being very dumb right now, but what do you mean? (To Icky/ @leashme )

putting this on main actually;
it annoys me to death when folks say stuff like “i’m not a therian, im a [xyz animal]”
because hey that’s what a therian is!
to say you don’t identify as a therian because you just ARE that animal is to say that therians AREN’T really the animal they claim to be. which is so wrong. to say you don’t like the term therian because it’s ‘too human’ is so insensitive.
therians are not necessarily human! someone calling themself a therian in no way makes them human! equating therians with humans is weird!
stop treating us like we are human, stop trying to separate ‘really being an animal’ from being a therian. they are the same thing. you’re not superior or different to us because you “really are that animal”. we all are.
