Okay, furries: need some clarification here.
I don't want to be a skunk but I do want to be a skunk person. I don't have moments where I can feel a skunk body but I do have moments I can feel a skunk person body. (I use the word 'skunk' interchangeably with 'skunk person.')
My brief research online points towards therianism being seeing oneself as an animal - so if I were a therian, I'd want to be a skunk, not a skunk person. Is this accurate?
Essentially I'm asking, am I a therian.
