Otherkin documentary: British wolf

[lost-shadowwolf.livejournal.com]

Hello all,

As I have read from your community I can tell your aware of a recentlyl documentary done by zigzag productions about otherkin. I participated in this documentary, though I have no actually seen it yet. I can only hope that from what questions I was asked and what things they were interested that my husband and I are not seen as complete idiots. I dont know anything about the other otherkins that were interviewed but I can speak for my husband and my self that while the whole process was a tad intrusive the reason why we choose to do it was for all the awakening kin out there that think they are alone. I had a feeling I would get a lot of flack from the otherkin community for doing this, which is fine as I didnt do it for them. I just wanted to say that my experience with the production team was that they asked very respectful and insightful questions, they were genuinely interested and never did anything my husband and I were not comfortable with. I hope I get a chance to watch it soon, though I can imagine watching my self on t.v will be a very odd experience.

If you are the same person, why do you both use "I" statements to refer to something/someone else? When "she" fronted, she was not using "I" statements to refer to you, she was using them to refer to a different individual with a different daily life.

It sounded a lot more like being multiple than being therian. Even a median system is still multiple.

To be therian is to identify oneself, not another individual, not one's other half, not someone with a different personality, as an animal. Seeing one's theriotype as a seperate thing with a seperate personality is not at all usual in the therian community.

I think that including it in the documentary confused the issue unnecessarily.

Fair enough thats your opinion that I disagree with. I am Otherkin, I have been aware of this fact for 10 years and I will happily continue the rest of my life just being my self. I didnt choose to be this way but I embrace and live with it

Thank you for your clear and in-depth answer. I now understand your reasoning and beliefs much better. That was very helpful :)
