so my older brother was looking at gender politics stuff and asked me "Hey, is furry a gender?" to which i replied "No. Absolutely not, its a hobby and fandom.". "But this LGBTQ+ webpage says it is" he said, i asked if it said that furrys believe they are animals on it and he said yes, i then told bro that that is completely wrong and therians/otherkins are the people who identify as non human creatures however it is not a gender, he then goes on to argue with me that it is a gender identity and that he also thinks he might be a therian because he has a strong family like connection with felines and he listed similarities in physical abilities and senses between him and felines, and then he said "So if i am a therian, then i wouldnt be male right? id be trans." to which i replied simply "Thats not right at all-" and he said "Yes it is, i wouldnt be a 'straight, male' id be a 'female attracted, therian feline'" and i said "No. Dude. ok look. *sigh* Human is not gender. ok so. Its species. It Doesnt Make You Transgender If You Are Therian/Otherkin" (idk why i said human but it helped him understand) he then went "ahhh... ok yeah that makes more sense" but he also said "Well it doesnt matter what the actual facts are because what the media pushes is whats gonna be believed by most people so oh well" i sighed again and then he went "i want to hear people who are arguing that therian/otherkin IS a gender identity and people who argue that it ISNT a gender, but i dont want anyone you watch to tell me stuff because it will be biased" even though alot of the therians i watch that like to talk about or educate people on therians/otherkin are very well educated on the subject.
so i kinda thought id asked yall on here what you think so he could get a more unbiased argument. ALSO im Almost Postive that if anyone wants to actually talk to him to have a conversation/debate about it hed totally be down for that cuz he usually enjoys talking to new people and learning new things and debating about stuff. if anyone would like to talk to him you can let me know even though ill likely be showing him the replies i get to this thread if i get any.
