it's bizarre that people think that... most guys i know wear skinny jeans
i love shorts so much shorts shorts shorts shorts shorts
i dont mind jeans/skinny jeans but i like wearing shorts and dresses the most even tho i hav only 4 dresses or so. i have this really comfortable pair of shorts that doesnt hav a button to button the fly (its just sewed all the way which is nice so the button doesnt jab me or anythin) and i guess the way my sister washed them (hand-me downs alright) made them really soft
then the most recent dress i got is soft/nice and goes mayb to or above my knees? the neckline is more fitting for me too and its a nice colour.
but my point is SHORTS

I hate labels. Labels are just things created by us, stupid humans to classify things.
NO.
You are unique.

Some people use labels to help themselves feel better, though, so if people label themselves, you should respect their labels.

I completely agree with that. There is nothing wrong with self-labeling.
Do people think that??? I mean, pretty much every teen aged 14-19 in England wears skinny jeans...

Actually though. Maybe I should identify as a squid now.

Like sometimes it's less confusing. We're so used to having boxes that it's sometimes uncomfortable without them, so it's a lot easier for a lot of people with at least something, be it something really broad, like just gay or queer, or really specific.

People who think they're not really a person, but like, are the spirit of an animal trapped in a human's body. Fictionkin would be someone who believes they have the spirit of a fictional character.
To be honest I think that people who really believe they're otherkin likely may not have a full grip on reality. Maybe for some of them it's a phase they go through in trying to find their individuality, or they never felt like they fit in with other people so they like to imagine that they're not a person at all. At any rate it's pretty much harmless and I think it's totally fine (unless someone gets to the point where they let that kind of belief affect their functioning in society, in which case they should probably see a therapist or something)

Otherkin is a term for someone who identify themselves as something other than human.
Generally I don't particularly mind them. If they feel closer to being a wolf than a human than alright, cool. No harm done. The only thing I don't understand is when they say that they go through "shifts" sometimes. As in they can feel their invisible cat ears or their tail moving.
From what I understand, from following some people on tumblr who identify as otherkin/fictionkin, a large part of it is a way to cope with something, such as if they have some sort of mental illness or autism and feel like they can identify closer with a fictional character. Since it's a positive thing for a lot of people, and it's really not hurting anyone (besides the trolls of course), I think it's pretty great.
what's said above is correct but a LOT of people dislike otherkin

I don't pay much attention to otherkin people myself, but I remember like two years ago there were a couple otherkin folk on tumblr saying how it was unfair that trans people had surgery and other methods of transitioning that they didn't. I haven't seen anything like that recently, but at the time, it rubbed a lot of trans people the wrong way.
Other than that, I don't see otherkin often, so I tend not to think about them tbh.

Alot of trans people feel that otherkin are invalidating their struggles. And that by people saying "Oh I'm a wolf!" or "Oh I'm an anime character!" it is going to make people view their struggles as invalid because people are identifying as things other than human.
I do see that a lot. Well, there was in particular one post that was going around tumblr like that, but it came back with a reply from a trans person saying that this helps a lot of people cope, and hating on them does nothing for trans peoples' own struggles, anyway. As a trans person myself, I really don't see a lot of the otherkin community anyway, so again, as long as those people are helping themselves, it doesn't really matter to me.
