chasingcaribou: geth-metal: The former is racist, the secondary makes no sense, and the latter is disgusting and ethically irresponsible because it encourages people to not seek treatment for serious medical disorders. All of these make actual issues that human beings naturally go through, such as transsexualism and homosexuality and racism, A FUCKING JOKE. Get your shit together, Tumblr. Otherkin makes no sense to me therefor it is not real and makes a joke out of unrelated topics. ^This response. ^^ Just because something makes no sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I bet you don’t understand the workings of the universe, how galaxies spin, how orbits formed, what keeps everything running, yet here we all are living in a universe that I’m pretty damn sure exists.

You can spiritually identify with or as animals, but it is not on the same level as science. I put it somewhere very similar to religion and while I while can respect another person’s belief, it is not the same as how the universe works or formed - which we can and do prove definitively with science.

Your example is terrible. There is no physiological connection with having the ‘brain’ of an animal or another race and thus you can’t place this realmof science. Because this 'identity’ is essentially spiritual, I don’t have to believe in it either. I can respect it, but I can - similarly to how I feel with Christianity - think it’s complete bullocks.
