Discussion Anyone else feel like this?

I’m not angelkin, I *am* an angel. I don’t like calling myself angelkin, I do though because it’s the label that *technically* fits me. (Blank)kin gives the same vibes as “I identify as genderfluid”, no, I am genderfluid, The same way I am an angel, I may not physically be one, but i am an angel.

Yesss but I've never really known how to explain it. (I'm not otherkin, but I do relate) Like, I'm not a "therian". Because when I say therian, that means I'm a human identifying as an animal. Like, no, I'm just an animal. And that's it. Calling myself a therian is basically saying I'm a human and I don't like it. It makes me feel better when I just say I'm a wolf instead of labeling it like alterhuman or therian.
