The gender I want to be is “Majestic Unicorn of unclear gender/sex, but decidedly statuesque in bearing”
You can see how it would be difficult for me to transition in any meaningful way
I want to ship of theseus my flesh prison with the cold certainty of steel.
What if I transition, and I’m still miserable? Because for all the affirmation, at the end of it I’ll remain, myself. And I fucking hate myself
Furry fandom?
The defining aspect of Therian or Otherkin was that (when I paid attention to the hilarious arguments), like transgender individuals, they believe they are genuinely the ‘other’ that they are transitioning to and are stuck in human bodies, while furries just want to be that ‘other,’ whatever it is.
Im definitely not. Im not sure I would to look different than my best self (young, perfect health, in great shape) but maybe a few genetic tweaks might not be bad (can’t tan, need glasses, etc). But like the only reason I would want to be like a dragon man would be for the super powers. If I could get superpowers and look like myself I would more likely take that. Honestly im not even sure I care what I am. Im pretty in my head so if I was like a ghost but could otherwise communicate and interact with everything I think I would be fine with it. Granted might miss food and sex but if the urges/cravings were not present im not so sure I would.
