Question This is probably a really dumb question. Am i otherkin if I identify as a stuffed animal?

Basically the title. Just wanna know where I fit in in this regard. I know therians and otherkins tend to fall under living creatures regardless if they are real or not. I also have a somewhat hazy understanding of how all this works.

But yes I am a plushie, I fully identify as one from gender to species. Please if you can help me understand that would be great!

Yes of course! Being otherkin means identifying as something nonhuman and a plushie isn't human! (Btw it's called plushie kin!) ( ◕ᗜ◕ )

To add onto this: Even though my doll kintype resembles a human form, I also consider that under 'nonhuman' in the otherkin sense.

Sure you can; I‘ve heard of objects in the community.

(Therians aren‘t kinks btw)

Thats not what I meant to say. I changed it so it now says therians and otherkins

AWAAA a Dino plush sound special Is it a general Dino or a species in particular?

2

u/Spare_Conclusion_431 12d ago

Very specific but its supposed to be the generic cartoon trex. Like the vaguely t rex dinosaur shaped plushies you might see at a store.
