All my otherkin folks, I need your help!
I'm trying to convince my friend that otherkin people are real and valid (which they are, obviously) and I thought that I would ask some of y'all what it feels like to be otherkin because I'm bad at explaining things, and I think that seeing the stories might convince her that they're valid. She's on the fence right now because she doesn't see any scientific reasoning behind it, so if any of y'all have any proven scientific reasoning behind otherkin I would love to see that.
If you're willing, could you comment below the answers to as many of these questions as you're comfortable answering?
What does it mean to be otherkin to you personally?
Describe the tie -- or lack thereof -- between otherkin and spirituality for you personally.
What is your kintype/kintypes, and what does it feel like to be that kintype in particular?
What are some stereotypes about being otherkin that are wrong?
Anything else that you'd like to share about being otherkin.
I'll be taking out all identifying information and putting it into a google doc so that she can read it. I appreciate any help that y'all are able to give me :)
