I've seen this documentary and I am very concerned about a few things. In the segment where Luna is speaking out, it looked a lot like having a headmate or spirit guide rather than a theriotype. From my personal experience, my theriotype does not speak to me or come out and take over and say things the way I saw Luna take over Kim's body. To me, it looked very much like a separate being that is sharing Kim's body rather. There are a lot of other Therians in the online community that feel the same way and have similar concerns so I am not the only Therian that has noticed this. I am not saying that Kim/Luna is not a Therian, I just think the experience, from what I saw on the documentary, looked like a separate being that is sharing Kim's body. I do admire your courage to speak out and show your face on TV, as not very many Therians would chose to do so for various reasons (personal, career, etc.). I definitely do not feel the documentary did very much justice to the community, and I know of several Therians who feel the same as well. Some of which are currently working on creating a documentary that better represents the community and will hopefully add more diversity than what was shown in the show.

For those that want to know, the documentary is called "What?! I Think I'm an Animal" The official website of Logo with the full documentary can be found here: http://www.logotv.com/video/what-i-think-im-an-animal/1706138/playlist.jhtml
