![[Explanation below] I am nonhuman. I don't mind creating a mythical experience for others, and I am careful with the fragile reputation therians have. But, ultimately, I'm an animal that will growl and bark. I never want to scare children, but she was able to detect my discomfort. And a black wolf monster who's growling low can be scary. I know most of this was all in good fun, the woman with her child was very sweet and soft spoken actually, and the woman talking throughout was saying so many kind things. But for everyone in this interaction as whole.. some manners were in order. I have lessened visibility in my mask- I do not like when people get in my face and I do not like when people get behind me, I'll always pivot so my back is away again and I'll do my best to create distance, but I'll definitely feel defensive. Human or animal, no one wants to be crowded. Do not just walk up and pet, get confirmation first. I don't like or want it, but I ocassionally allow it depending on the situation. If I allowed it though, don't get so rough with it and especially don't try to scratch my actual chin/face/body. Don't prolong the pets, a simple pat to the forehead is enough. Anyway, I'm glad I ultimately cheered the little girl up in the end, and I'm grateful that the other adults were being nice and just having fun. But please, mind your manners. #therianthropy #therianmask #otherkin #fursuiter #alterhuman](https://ttanon.com/i/c/7649129222870469902-720.webp)

![[More below] As simplified as I could make it in a quick video- Is therianthropy a mental illness? No. Hopefully this answers the question- but to simplify it even more: Just because you find a behavior strange, that doesn't make it a mental illness. Just because you are unfamiliar with an identity, that does not make it a mental illness. Just because you were unaware of the existence of certain terms and communities, that doesn't make it a mental illness. There are many things in this life we don't know or fully understand. A mental illness, however would need to cause a clinical level of dysfunction and have agreed upon requirements in the DSM. Therians CAN have symptoms or diagnoses of any other mental illnesses like anyone in any community. That does not mean the identity as a whole is one. And even if it was, that would not justify the harassment the community faces as a whole. Therianthropy is also not the same as "clinical lycanthropy" but that will have to be another video since many younger (and older) members of the community have as much of a misunderstanding of it as non-therians do. It is also not the same as a mere spiritual connection or past life. We need to stop sanitizing the definition but we also need to stop misconmunicating information too as a way to protect emotions. I know I'm not human- but I can also function with the life I exist in. That's therianthropy. Anyway, be kind, do research, live and let live. #therianthropy #quadrobics #fursuiter #otherkin #alterhuman](https://ttanon.com/i/c/7684042505012399373-720.webp)

That comment at the end was so out of nowhere-- I can't hear so well under the mask, so when I suddenly heard that I was like...What-??? Oh well, she was kind either way. Loved that she called it a "werewolf necklace." Ultimately, I'm glad I could bring a special mythical trinket to brighten up the day for her shy boys. -- and for those wondering: Therians are NOT involved with any kind of adult content. They are individuals who identify as an animal on some level (spiritual, mental, physical, etc.), while still recognizing they exist in a human life within human limitations and responsibilities. Note that it's not merely a spiritual/deep connection to an animal or a past life. It is not a delusion nor is it harmful. Some of us dress up as the animal we are to express ourselves or to have fun- but ultimately, it is a fundamental identity that one does not choose, but discovers within themselves. (Whereas furries and otherpaw partake in the costumes/masks as a fun hobby and as a choice) #therian #otherkin #alterhuman #fursuiter #therianmask
