The Otherkin know that current accepted science does not support their other- than-humanness; they also know they experience life as other-than-human beings. These things are both equally true, so they must find ways to reconcile the two if they hope to ever achieve anything like the recognition they see in the LGBTQ+ community.
Dr Proctor believes and states that otherkin are entirely genuine in their experience of themselves as nonhuman. Would you at least agree with the PhD specialising in this area, that otherkin are not lying or trolling?
I never said otherkin were lying or trolling. I don’t think people who believe in ghosts are generally lying or trolling either, and that’s another area where scientific terminology and thinking is used to justify a belief, but that doesn’t fucking mean that I take kindly to the idea that disputing the existence of ghosts is verboten and bigoted.

Very well, my estimation of you has risen. Nonetheless, I still think you should have chosen kindness over pedantry.
