Trans - 'Kin (and similar) Open Thread!
Jan. 18th, 2016 08:39 pmA Quote from a recent entry:
"There's recently been a push to say that otherkin and trans are completely different. However, while they definitely aren't the same and there are some pretty serious differences in how the two things interact with society* . There's still definitely a lot overlap and some possibilities for talking and learning."
So here's an "Open Thread" for Trans people, 'Kin (Otherkin, therians etc.) and others with similar issues to talk and compare notes.
The people who seemed interested were Trans AND 'Kin, but you don't have to be both to talk here. Just if you AREN'T Trans, don't try and tell the trans people what it's like to be trans. And likewise, if you aren't 'Kin, don't make assumptions about what their feelings are.
Basically - please listen and be respectful.
