Dysphoria is a word used SPECIFICALLY for gender dysphoria. It has been created SPECIFICALLY for people who’s brains say they are one gender, but their bodies aren’t that gender in real life. This word is SPECIFICALLY used for transgendered men and women. THAT”S IT!!! I feel for those who are otherkin, as it is something important to you and how you feel in your bodies and how you live in society. But you are using words that have been created for a specific use of being transgendered, that many people have put much blood, sweat and tears in creating this vocabulary for the world. It upsets people who have worked so hard in creating this vocabulary to help educate people in the world for this SPECIFIC thing, and then to have a group of people use this vocabulary as this other group don’t have a vocabulary to define who and what they are to educate the world. That’s why the LGBTQA are upset when otherkin use this word and vocabulary. They are accepting, it just upsets them when people try to take credit in something that isn’t there’s. If you want people to understand you, then get scholars and social workers, and psychiatrists to come together and create a SPECIFIC vocabulary for otherkin to educate the world. If you truly want to become integrated and accepted into the society and culture of the world, instead of latching onto things and vocabulary that wasn’t meant for you, go out and create a vocabulary that clearly describes and defines what is otherkin so the world won’t shun and be not accepting of you. The LGBTQA have been oppressed for many, many, many years so they get it. They do. They feel for you, and they sympathize for you. They would gladly help you find a way for you to integrate otherkin into society. So please, don’t be upset with the LGBTQA with saying otherkin cannot use dysphoria in context for otherkin, as it was never meant to be used in that way. They do not hate you, or oppress you. They accept.
