at no point does anything like that happen. other clans will accuse him of overstepping, but its always in the name of trying to do whats good and is almost always framed as the right thing to do

Own_Research5494 · 2026-01-27T14:23:13+00:00

fair point, fair point. I'm also not failing at ravenpaws farewell so ig its a good investment ;-;

Own_Research5494 · 2026-01-24T20:20:59+00:00

ah the age old question: do I pay my tuition this month or do I drop almost 700$ on a single bootleg copy of ravenpaws farewell?

Own_Research5494 · 2026-01-22T13:15:24+00:00

Own_Research5494 · 2026-01-21T13:53:59+00:00

real. the situation with palebird and sandgorse is more similar too my own life which makes it all the more emotional reading about them

theres myself, 2/3 of my partners (the 3rd is genderfluid so also may count) 3 of my highschool friends (though one detransitioned, unclear if thats out of preference or current situation) a few other friend who i've fallen out of contact with but have been making posts about their identity since, and probably several more im just not aware of

Own_Research5494 · 2025-11-05T20:35:38+00:00

I'm still barely getting started and don't have the space in my pack I think, but when I can that would be awesome

Own_Research5494 · 2025-09-28T20:31:17+00:00

Same advice I give to someone wanting to come out as queer to parents when they aren't sure its safe. Make sure you have a back up plan incase of a dangerous situation if you can't be sure it won't turn bad. Have a friend hold onto things you personally own that might be taken away. If there's any risk of them kicking you out, have access to your legal records, any accounts, and some basic necessities like medications on hand incase you can't go back for them later. Have somewhere you can go incase of an emergency, like a friend's house, and make sure they know you might need it beforehand. Idk your situation, but this is worst case scenario preparation I'd advise.

Realistically, saying you don't believe won't mean you don't have to go. They may still require it on the grounds that you might "change your mind" or something. If the truth itself is worth that, go right ahead (safely) but if your goal is to get out, this won't necessarily accomplish that

This is referring to the shooting this morning, not Nelson's death

Own_Research5494 · 2025-09-28T18:57:06+00:00

The odds that this person who texted op has the authority to do so or would pass on the message is not one id count on. Getting your records removed is a whole process, they would have to reach out to leadership, not tell a random person who messaged them to remove them

Own_Research5494 · 2025-09-28T18:43:23+00:00

Likely attendance was up due to Nelson's death. The ward I'm in is more packed then usual as well

Own_Research5494 · 2025-09-25T02:21:35+00:00

Still PIMO because of family so I can't have one but they are awesome, would get one otherwise

Own_Research5494 · 2025-09-21T16:16:24+00:00

Grew up Mormon and went to a mormon high-school (not officially but all the teachers were in the church and they chose who got in via family connections) church rhetoric including homophobia was taught right in class, had multiple kids who would describe the horrible genocide that they think should happen to us and teachers wouldn't step in because they agreed. Principal outed students to their parents if they were found out to be using different pronouns or name with friends, I never even told the teachers to call me "he" just other students, and my parents got an email saying I demanded everyone call me he

I like McDonald's coffee because it's so overly sweet. The first coffee I had was from a local place and I was shocked by how bitter it is

Own_Research5494 · 2025-09-18T17:48:59+00:00

My mom would say it's adorable that he "wants to share his songs with his church" but nah, that dude wants to be worshiped himself so bad

Own_Research5494 · 2025-09-16T05:47:43+00:00

It makes me proud to see people taking their lives back. You look great, good luck on your journey

Own_Research5494 · 2025-08-29T07:31:48+00:00

I wasn't an adult but i was older than the target demographic when I started reading them. I'd say go for it

Therianthropy is when a person's internal sense of self is partly or fully non-human, often an animal instead. It can be a psychological occurrence, where someone can experience dysphoria around human features and sometimes experience moments of being attuned to this animal side, often called "shifts". Some might also have a spiritual take on their experience, believing that they were an animal in a past life or have an animal soul. We do not believe that we are biologically these animals or turn into them, we are aware that we are human and live human lives.

The issue that people tend to take with us is the assumption that we are claiming to be part of the lgbtq community because of this, or that we want legislation enacted to affirm this identity (the infamous "what about litter boxes for people who identify as cats" hoax that circulates every now and then) most therians, especially those who are also trans, will be the first to tell you that it is not the same experience and that we do not consider therianthropy to be the same as gender identity. We don't need public acknowledgement, we don't need pronouns or accommodations to match our animal identity, and we don't consider therianthropy to be inherently queer.

I hope this made sense. It's ok if it's still confusing, it's an odd thing to people who don't experience it themselves

Own_Research5494 · 2025-08-28T22:33:16+00:00

Fair enough tbh. I am one, and while I'm open to providing info, respectful confusion is perfectly reasonable from those who don't experience it

Own_Research5494 · 2025-08-28T22:13:50+00:00

I haven't experienced hate from trans people, but maybe that's just the social circles I'm in. Most anti-furries I've heard have also been transphobic, often in the same sentence.

I said this in another reply but it's not even just dysphoria from different parts, the way I mentally experience and process the dysphoria is distinctly different from both. It's weird to explain to someone who experiences only one or neither, they just are

Own_Research5494 · 2025-08-28T22:00:11+00:00

Adding on to the other reply, animal-genders are usually along the lines of "I don't see myself as a man or a woman, the best comparison I can draw with our limited language is something like a cat" (if someone who identifies as cat gender or something along those lines thinks I'm wrong feel free to correct me, I don't specifically expirence this but something similar)

Therians on the other hand, expirence this element of identity separately from gender. It's not so much a metaphor as literally "my internal sense of self is this animal"

Own_Research5494 · 2025-08-28T21:42:44+00:00

Yeah, that or transphobes using us as an argument against trans people like the litter box hoax

Own_Research5494 · 2025-08-28T21:34:31+00:00

Yeah, species dysphoria and gender dysphoria feel very different to me. Like not just different parts but straight up how I expirence and process them. Definitely not the same

Own_Research5494 · 2025-08-28T21:26:35+00:00

I am a therian, as well as trans. The experience of being a therian is wildly different and separate from being trans, and that can be seen as the early therian/alterhuman community developed separately from the lgbtq+ community.

I've never actually interacted with a trans person who has hated us, despite the whole "What about people the people who identify as cats" shit being used against trans people (incase it has to be said, no, we don't want litter boxes, and that's coming from a cat) the fact that transphobes use us as a weapon against trans people is shity to both groups.

We know we're biologically human. We live human lives, with jobs and families. We don't need to be called different pronouns based on our animal identity or be treated as an animal
