The Church has to be more welcoming to Therians.
Therian rights are the next big thing...
I told you about therianthropy* before. I'm a poodle trapped in a man's body. I'm actually a standard poodle, lamb-cut, champagne colored fur, limpid amber eyes, very cute and adorable.
It could be true.
Lonely single Therians do not feel welcome.
Therianthropy is very much like LGBTQ-thropy - or genderlessness or pick your gender theory-ideology. You are what you think you are. Some Therians actually have surgery to make themselves look like the creature they think they are. There is a labyrinth of terms and expressions within this identity-category - it can get as confusing as LGBTQueerness theory.
Seriously, I doubt Google's intention was to spread knowledge of Therianism - I'm sure the question is all in fun, 'what kind of animal are you?' Sort of like Barbara Walters asking, 'If you were a tree what kind would you be?' (Nut tree.)
I'm a single cat parent of a large litter - people at church look at me funny.
*A therian is a person who considers itself to be part of the contemporary subculture of therianthropy: Very much like genderqueer**, it is a condition based on a spiritual and/or psychological identification with animals, either from earth, extraterrestial, and or mythic. Then there are Otherkin - but that's a whole different identity. I once worked with a dragon who introduced me to these theories.
**FYI: A queer glossary may be found here.
Happy Earth Day.

What?
Oh, spare us.
ReplyDeleteWow. You managed to come up with a term I've never come across before. I think this is what's knows as "furries" in the vernacular...
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole street fair for this in SF. Naturally.
Unfortunately, as with all of the more unsavory street fairs, it's within a block or two of my apartment. I always chalked up the whole furry thing to an utter and complete refusal to grow up. It's bad enough when the twenty-somethings engage in that kind of stuff, but when you see forty- and fifty-somethings who've obviously been into that "lifestyle" for a while it's just sad and creepy and depressing.
And then there's Jocelyn Wildenstein, who takes the whole thing to an entirely lunatic level. What a way to blow what
...what had to have been one of the awesomest divorce settlements in the history of divorce settlements.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so scary.
