I think him and Avril broke up, it'd be too awkward.

You mean he broke up with a girl who was probably half his age, or ten years younger than him? Shocking.

Why is it more crazy to think you're an otherkin than it is to think you're the wrong gender? Seems to me like they would biologically, neurologically, etc be caused by the same area (if there is one).

The genes for being a man or a woman actually exist in the human gene pool. The genes for being a horse do not.

No sane transgender person denies their biological sex.. It's a question for science to find causation, but the two ideologies(?? idk) are similar enough that I doubt causation for either they would stem from different parts/processes in brains, genes, whatever it may be. So I again I don't get why one idea is more extreme than the other. It seems to be another instance of society condemning a minority group for the hell of it. I don't care what those people do, and they deserve the same rights as every other citizen of the country (no more, no less).

You're assuming sanity.

And you're nitpicking and avoiding my greater point.

No, I think my greater point that male and female are accounted for in human genetics, whereas dogs, cats, ostriches, and porcupines are not, is a perfectly rational argument. Why the **** would you think otherwise? Are you just trying to be understanding to the point of insanity, or do you have a legitimate scientific reason to believe that a human could psychologically be a dog? Cause the burden of proof is on the one making the god damn extraordinary claim that they are a dog.

What the **** logical argument could you even have that is not tumblr bull****?

I imagine the otherkin community would be made up of psychotics and try hards. Transgender I can see as a reasonable leap in body dysmorphia but otherkin requires a level of magical thinking that I wouldn't expect in the general population.
