I know I had that whole moment a day or so ago of like worrying about if my reasons for being nonhuman were “real enough” and so many others helped with comments and such, allowing me to feel more at ease with knowing that if I say this is my identity, that is what matters, but here I am with questions again lol

  1. Would me saying “I identify as -insert animal here- because it gives me gender euphoria and feels more like I should be” be enough for me to say I’m a Therian or not?

  2. Would sitting and thinking about what you would look like as an animal/what you would be, and realising that said animal that comes to mind has been a part of your life in some way since you were small, even if you had rarely any actual contact with the actual animal, to the point that you would behave and act like that animal a lot of the time until you were told to “grow up”, but even then have some kind of connection to it be enough to say I’m a Therian or not?

in reply to @creatureheart's post:

Hun, therian just means the identity is of an earthly creature, it doesn't have to be some connection that you didn't see even though it's been there your entire life, that's just a bonus~

And duh, feeling species euphoria is a huge part of this too, if you want to identify that way and identifying that way feels good then just go and do it!!! :3

I know.
I know in the end that if it makes sense to me and it's important to me that that is what matters.

I'm just still stuck in my head at allowing myself to say something "concrete" with my nonhuman identity because what if I'm wrong? Even though I know realizing something isn't what you are is just part of the journey as much as figuring out something you are is.
