Every once in a while I think about how etymologically, the "other" in "otherkin" doesn't refer to being non-human. It refers to being non-elf.

We prefer the term otherkin for ourselves because, as far as we're concerned, it has nothing to do with humans or elves at all, but simply identifying as something "other" than the host body (as opposed to theri"anthropy" which is explicitly a human activity...)
It's definitely one of those words that has outgrown its etymology. Like how bisexual really means attraction to multiple genders, or vaccination has nothing to do with cows.
