otherkinnewsOn September 2, 2012 an article titled "Entry Level: Otherkin” on the website Totally Dublin was published. The article focused on the part of otherkin community on the website Tumblr, commenting on how some otherkin have made use of likening being otherkin to being transgender to varying degrees. In the article the author discuses their strong disagreements with the use of likening the experiences of people who are otherkin to those people who are transgender.
A few days later on September 6 2012, the website, Gawker, the article “From Otherkin to Transethnicity: Your Field Guide To The Weird World of Tumblr Identity Politics" was posted. This article also focuses on the otherkin community on Tumblr, as well as talking about a person who goes by the calling of Eric Draven who has gained a high amount of controversy both on tumblr and elsewhere over a number of months. The article comments about the high amount of trolling and complaining on tumblr over the topic of otherkin. The article’s final part includes a listing of words, their definitions, and quotes from people who self-identify with those labels to end the article. In the final listing of words, the author includes such topics as “fictives," “multiple systems,” “transethnicity,” “transablism,“ “transfat,” “demisexual,” and “soulbonding” as being part of the otherkin community on tumblr.
