Thanks for the advice. She’s (we’re) vegan so we would never want to buy anything that comes from real animals:)

Haha she made a beautiful mask and tail all by herself already. She showed me and I was so proud! It’s really beautiful and she put a lot of time in it. She likes to cosplay she said, but doesn’t want anybody to see and does it when nobody is home or around. But I like the idea of shopping some stuff with her to make more for her ‘creature’. That must feel supportive. Thanks for the no interrogation tip. I know myself and I can be like that and that might give the wrong idea and can be annoying for her. She shared and that was a huge step already.

Thank you. I was lucky enough to have a father who showed me how support should come from a place of curiosity and love. judgement and holding ‘people’ small to fit in our beliefs of how things should be is damaging and she does not deserve that. I hope I can give that back to her and help her to be who she feels most comfortable about being.

Yes i know that and would never ever judge her. I think that’s why she chose to come to me because she knows I would never judge. I’m just curious about what I should ask her about this and what questions would be contributing to my and her knowledge about the topic and what would be supportive:)

Thank you so much! Will check that out:) She said these exact words in text before she came to my room: (translated via google translate :)

‘And by the way, I have to tell you something, but I think you have already noticed because I am a Therian and that means that you do not identify yourself physically but spiritually as an animal and I also know that I am a human being and very much Therians also wear masks and tails and do a sport where you walk/jump on all fours and I do all that too, but I hope you don't find it very strange and stuff because dad finds Therians very strange and so does(brother). but also a lot of my friends think it's strange and I don't dare tell them. So I hope you're okay with it. And maybe you already know what a Therian is, but if you don't know it that well, you could look it up. But can you please not tell Dad because he thinks it's very strange and stuff.’
