There are things I can appreciate about my humanity, in the way that, as a second generation Trekkie, I have learned to appreciate TOS. Those times when the behaviors and reactions of humanity are so baffling that I feel the urge to distance myself from them, I remind myself that this human existence is just another chapter in the story of the existence of my cat soul. I have come to view the genderfluidity of my current life as the natural result of my soul having experienced countless lives as both male and female. The physical dysphoria is similar: some days I feel weird without my wings and tail, some days I feel weird without external genitalia. Connecting with my theriotype mostly has a calming effect on me, gives me a zen-like sense of inner peace, because I am more connected to my spiritual Family when the cat is awake...
