No, but what I mean is, there are religions like Hinduism where having been an animal in a past life is an important aspect. How is this not appropriating from that? :T It just doesn't seem internally consistent, is my problem here.
Every kin is different so please don't lump us all into one box that believes the same exact thing. Not all of us think it's a spiritual thing, or mental, or whatever.It's just identifying as nonhuman and that's it.And furries are not to be compared to this because it is a hobby and nothing else. Furries don't believe they are actually nonhuman.
To the OP, have you looked at the information regarding "otherkin" that Vertefae provided? If you're not familiar with it, I suggest reading it, because the term you're choosing to use to define who/what you are and why seems to be what is leading to a lot of confusion as well as hurting/offending individuals following this thread.

Yup. I wash my hands of this.
The definition of furrydom is literally a hobby? It's literally a hobby, some furries do not call it that, true, but it's still defined as a hobby.
