“Honey, I Think I’m A Cat”
I’ve fallen down an internet k-hole these past few days that I’m not sure I’ll ever crawl out of. My topic of interest? People who think they are real animals or imaginary beings trapped in human bodies. They call themselves “otherkin.” Or more specifically in the case of people who think they are animals, “transspecies.” Because a nice girl and a mean lady are fighting in me always, I find it equal parts sad and hilarious.
Like legitimately marginalized communities, they like to hang out on the internet, especially Tumblr. Here is a fairly thorough explanation of the “possible” causes of the otherkin identity. Here is an excerpt from the “about me” page of a popular otherkin Tumblr called “Transcats“:

I can honestly say I've never heard the term "singletism" before
This poor, oppressed girl having to go to school so her parents pay for everything. Fuck, if my mom told me "I'll pay for all of this stuff as long as you stay in school," I'd throw myself a damn party.

I CAN'T
A toddler and a flying dog can't write moronic posts like these on their tumblr blog, either . . . but that certainly ain't stopping you. o_O
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I'm dying
Though she came with us on a multi-day field trip out of town, and my girlfriend's mom said we should keep her close in case someone tried to hurt her. So I guess I've stood up for her transspieces rights, go me.
