[TW: cissexism]

no i don’t hate otherkin. i recognize species dysphoria as a legit medical condition proven by the scientific method. what i object to is the otherkin community on tumblr and elsewhere online piggybacking off of trans and queer activism. you need to understand that while we’re both shunned and oppressed for our identities our oppression happens in different ways. I will literally DIE if I don’t get my hormones but you won’t. I will feel agony for DAYS if I’m misgendered in public but you won’t.

There is no ‘proper’ identity and you deserve to take whatever measures you think you need to be identified the way you want to be identified. however you need to understand the nature of cisnormativity and how its directed at GENDER IDENTITY.
