See, no, it is a big deal though. Otherkin and fictionkin isn’t some kind of hobby, it is a spiritual and psychological belief that is an important part of a lot of people’s core identity, mental health and wellbeing. Spreading[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yeah, they tried that BS this time too. Unfortunately as a transperson myself, its all too true that we can have internalized transphobia and make transphobic comments. Thank you much for the vote of support. Crowhecker seems to have quieted[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Don’t you oppress him for self-diagnosing though! Even though a mental health professional would only diagnose him with one doesn’t mean he’s wrong about his disorders! </sarcasm>

Yes, @crowhecker is saying that all kin aside from copingkin are fakes, and just pretending.

Allow me to rephrase. When you say people can’t be kin of disabled characters if they aren’t disabled, you are reducing people to only their disability. (and also fundamentally misunderstanding how being kin works)
