Alright, so before anything else, I have to say that I am very conflicted about this. I mean I don’t think it’s too much of a problem but like... I don’t know. I must admit that I feel somewhat guilty about my past opinions on otherkin, although some of my problems with them still stand. I would often rant about them because, as a trans person, I had been a little upset that some of them were trying to get in on the movement and making us look worse than society already sees us. Granted, the majority of otherkin are sensible people and I’ve come to realize that otherkin is more of a belief or religion. And, of course, I realize that a lot of the otherkin blogs that are jerks are troll blogs.
That being said, I think I might be otherkin.
I feel like it could be a coping skill. Like, it would make me feel better about things when I’m anxious or depressed or on overload.
So yeah, I kind of think I maybe might be DanielofMayfairkin.
I obviously won’t go around spilling it to everybody or whatever - it’ll be something that I’ll keep to myself because I don’t really need anyone else to know, unless I join a kin group but I don’t know if there are any amnesia ones - but I still think it’s important. Of course I won’t need new pronouns or anything, because again, I feel like adding pronouns hurt the trans movement, and I probably won’t talk about it at all, but I’m still kind of conflicted about it, because it sort of makes me happy. I feel like I can be a little spiritual again.
