Hello. I wanted to do a little rant about how the Therian Community™️ is so hypocritical, and what the hell does it even have to do with being transgender.

For those not in the know, a therian is someone who identifies as an animal. No, not a furry, who simply has a hobby of dressing up as cartoon animals, but a therian, who IDENTIFIES AS an animal.

One of the biggest features in the belief (yes, belief) of therianthropy is that you cannot choose to be a therian. You cannot choose what animal your soul/mind is. And this is very hypocritical when put together with the trans community: I read often, “You can choose to be trans, even for fun! You can even choose to be what genders to become! But you can’t choose to be a therian! If you chose, you’re a faker!”

They look at being transgender, which is a medical, physiological thing, and say, “It’s all just made up! You can choose whatever genders you like! Gender is just a belief, a social construct!”

Yet they look at therianthropy, which is made up, even with the “involuntary urges/behaviors” that are more than likely just common human instincts, and say, “It’s a completely real fact, the complete truth! You cannot choose to be a therian!”

It’s just hypocritical and ridiculous that the therian community would say that being trans is a choice, but identifying as an animal is apparently not.
