    Some people do believe they’re animals and should be encouraged to express their kinship with them

    Uh no, those ones in particular should be getting legitimate psychiatric help, just like someone believing they’re Jesus should.

    And they are not part of the community because they are not a sexuality or gender. Stop weakening the movement by lumping every random alt thing into it.

      The “movement” has historically BEEN A PART OF EVERY RANDOM ALT THING and is growing to do exactly that! Acceptance is important. But I bet you get real butthurt when you see somebody dressed up like a cartoon animal at pride, huh?

        No it has not.

        And do you think a person who believes their Jesus should or should not be getting help?

          I believe the “help” in the best of countries is lacking because of ignorance and stigma and the best people fitting that description are the other half of that problem. But also let people be animals or fairies or cryptids or what have you, the world is bleak enough and we’re all unhinged in our own ways. Like honestly it’s this, acceptance and tolerance pushed to new extremes (something I think we socially as humans totally underdo) OR depressing military cyborgs + authoritarianism in the cards if not a more mundane climate crisis and/or world resource war…maybe even all of the above? Anyways -thanks for considering my thoughts and I really, really do recommend this as a good read regarding the actual definitions of gender and sexuality and why nuance and inclusivity in regards to this topic is so important: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/vikky-storm-the-gender-accelerationist-manifesto
