Therians of the world, unite!

Therianthropy refers to a deeply held belief that an individual's spiritual or psychological identity is, in part or in whole, non-human. Those who identify as therian often feel a spiritual or psychological connection with a particular animal or multiple animals. They might experience a sense of kinship or connection that goes beyond mere admiration or liking for that animal.

This phenomenon is often compared to otherkin, which is a broader term encompassing individuals who believe their identity includes something non-human, not strictly limited to animals. Therians may exhibit behaviors, thought patterns, or feelings that they associate with their animal identity. It's essential to understand that while these experiences are deeply personal, they are not widely scientifically recognized.

For many who identify as therian, it's a meaningful and integral aspect of their lives, influencing their perspectives and behaviors. Therianthropy is often explored within online communities and can be a significant part of someone's spiritual or personal journey.
