What do you wish to be called? Thylae
How old are you? 20
Are you male or female, or somewhere in between? In other words, what is your gender identity?
Female, but identify as male.
Are you a therian?
I believe so, most likely
What is your theriotype?
Lion probably
How did you come to these conclusions?
I've always felt that I wasn't exactly "human" inside (knowing full well that I'm human on the outside). I've always identified more with animals. I seemed to often "model" thier behaviors in younger years, and always wanted a tail. In fact, I would often picture myself with a lion tail.
As I grew older, it became clear that I would automatically react more animalistically. In other words, I would growl when angry, or be posessive of food. Behaviors like these. When I was about 14, I came accross the therian community after experiencing my first mental shift, into what seemed to be a large feline. After years of searching, I realized that most (if not all) my meditations showed me as a lion, often male (but sometimes a cub or a lioness). I researched their behaviors, and found that lion behaviors fit me well, especially the more dominant behaviors, such as growling, grunting, blowing air audibly through nostrils when angry, so on. However, I'm not entirely sure I am a lion yet.
What kind of influence is your theriotype? In other words, is it an inner influence, and outer influence? Or something else entirely. Please explain!
Inner. Me.
Have you ever shifted? If so, what are your experiences with shifting?
I have shifted many times. I often have involuntary shifts into what seems to be a large feline. Most of my shifts are mental shifts, the other small percentage are phantom shifts.
Do you consider yourself any particular "type" of therian? In other words, are you a contherian? A syntherian? So on. (If you do not know what these terms mean, that's alright, please let us know.)
Shifting therian.
How long have you known about your therianthropy? When did you come into the community?
I was about 13 or 14 when I first entered the community, so about 6 years.
Are you otherkin?
Not sure.
What led you to this conclusion? If you are both otherkin and therian, please explain why you feel you are both.
I have a few feelings, such as phantom wings, and strong psychic abilities that might mean otherkin, but I am not yet sure.
How long have you known about otherkin? When did you realize you are otherkin?
I learned about otherkin maybe a year after I learned about therianthropy.
What do you hope to gain from joining our community?
I am the owner of this community, so I hope to bring together a great, friendly group of people!
