Key words being "for me".
Because you simply choose to ignore it. It's like a slave owner only considering the financial benefit to owning slaves while everyone else says in the bigger picture, that's racist and you shouldn't have slaves as that's inhumane.
And you ignore it and yell "there's no bigger picture for me!". Your perspective and argument is that of a slave owner only considering their bank account.

Hey if you're a Transvestite just say so, why keep it a secret?

Why? I think an answer to this is important, it may help the rest of us understand why she's defending her stance so vehemently? Sometimes you have to get to the root of the problem so that you can deal with the issue at hand.
It's just common sense to ask these kinds of questions, it used to be anyways.

I had to Google otherkin. You really should not speak those fears aloud or put them in type. I have no doubt the wheels are already turning. Somewhere a democrat is trying to find a way to exploit this new minority group for whatever votes can be won (not to be outdone, republicans will be hard at work creating futile countermeasures in an effort to rally their non-fuzzy constituency).
A decade or two from now, when every other form of political identity has become old hat and every sexual fetish this side of necrophilia has been mainstreamed, the Otherkin will have their day.

You all can just put me down on the list, ahead of time, as a backwards, ignorant furry-phobic who will forever side with the fursecuters rather than the fursecuted.
What a farce.

Actually, I'm a 70 year old cis-gender gramma.
Raised 2 daughters, currently raising 8 year old grandson (his dad died of Cancer, mom has to work).

Yeah, the post I was replying to came from page one and mentioned, somewhat facetiously, the Otherkin seeking rights, etc.
Apparently there are humans who identify as non humans .... animals, mythical creatures, etc. Not surprisingly, quite a few are simultaneously transgender. Some otherkin wear fur suits, some get surgery to look more like their "true self" and others just enjoy living as their "persona" online.
These severely mentally ill folks are said to inhabit Reddit and Tumblr.
Seriously, the GTFO is for the at least marginally sane people left who flee into the hills, abandoning the cities in favor of a diet of dirt and locusts to spending one more minute trying to figure out which bathroom is safe to use.
I'm trans-unicorn. Hope to get horn placement surgery someday. If I don't its ok. The horn doesn't define me.

It's OK. Call your local congressman or form a 501c3 to raise funds/awareness. I'm sure something can be done. Stay brave. Stay strong.

I'm going to believe these people.
Freija (January 1955) is an American nobody living a quiet private life and has never done anything special or noteworthy. Born with gender dysphoria, from earliest memories she lived a very difficult childhood as a young girl with the body parts of a boy she considered a birth defect. Unlike transgender children of today, socially transitioning was impossible as well as illegal in the 1960's so young Freija always stood out as very different from other children. As an adolescent she faced physical assault, bullying and complete social isolation because she didn't look like a boy as emotionally and psychologically she was not and never had been one. After graduating high school and turning 18 in 1973, her parents began calling her Freija and using female pronouns because it made no sense at all to do otherwise.
By 19, she had begun working in an office where no one knew she hadn't always been a girl or what parts she was born with. In 1977 at the age of 22, she quietly underwent corrective sex reassignment surgery in Trinidad, Colorado, with Dr. Stanley Biber that had been performing this procedure since 1969 and trained the above mentioned Marci Bowers in the techniques.
Freija lived a completely normal life as a young woman with her past medical history unknown but to the few family members she had and continued her career in the pink-collar ghetto gradually moving up to management levels. At 30 she was married and enjoyed a loving and happy relationship with her husband until they divorced 12 years later. Having found a niche, Freija started her own business in 1995 serving the IT needs of her small business clients.
In 2015, she shared her private story with the members of ATS for the first time she'd ever publicly told anyone. In 2016, she sat here typing wondering how people can be so horribly misinformed, ignorant of the facts and downright rude, hostile and abusive to people like her and people similar to her.
