Thanks for sharing this, it was an interesing read! :) Though I don't relate much with the point that we may deal better with spirit animal because we share the shifting aspect: I am a non-shifting animal person myself. I'm not sure either that just "being an animal" would help more than "being a non-therian", because I do not believe in the binary system "animal VS human". To me "human VS wolf" is as different as "wolf VS deer" and such as. I don't consider human beings as a very different animal.

On the other hand, what speaks more to me is the idea that simply having aspects of ourselves differing from "the norm" may help, a bit like I feel being an animal person gives me the same introspective experience/tools as I need for dealing with being gender-variant. It's not the same thing but both are identity-related and makes you look deeper in yourself.

Animal Quills

The Gist of It

Animal Quills is a creative community for animal-people to share and discuss their written works. Over a hundred essays are archived here (many of which in locked entries). We focus on the concrete "here and now" experience of being animal inside, and other related musings (see our About page if you want to post).
