Kintype
Det specifika vÀsen som en otherkin identifierar sig med, pÄ samma sÀtt som "theriotype" anvÀnds för therians. En kintype kan vara en mythologisk varelse, fiktiv karaktÀr eller nÄgot annat icke-mÀnskligt vÀsen.
Fördjupning
A kintype is the specific non-human entity that an otherkin identifies with on a deep, personal level. The term functions similarly to "theriotype" in the therian community, but applies to a broader range of beings â including mythical creatures, fictional characters, celestial entities, and other non-human identities that go beyond real-world animals.
Common kintypes include dragons, elves, faeries, angels, demons, and characters from specific fictional works. Just as a therian discovers their theriotype through introspection and self-exploration, otherkin discover their kintype through a similar process of honest reflection on their experiences, instincts, and deep-seated feelings of non-human identity.
Some individuals have multiple kintypes, or may have both a theriotype (real animal) and a kintype (non-animal being). The experience of having a kintype is not about wanting to be something â it is about recognizing that a particular non-human identity is already an intrinsic part of who you are.

Vanliga frÄgor
How is a kintype different from a theriotype?
A theriotype is specifically a real-world animal that a therian identifies with. A kintype is any non-human entity that an otherkin identifies with â this can include mythical creatures, fictional characters, or other beings that are not real-world animals.
Can you have more than one kintype?
Yes. Some otherkin identify with multiple non-human entities. Additionally, a person can have both a theriotype and a kintype if they identify with both a real animal and a non-animal entity.
How do you discover your kintype?
Discovering a kintype involves introspection, research, and honest self-reflection â similar to how therians discover their theriotype. Recurring dreams, phantom shifts, deep emotional resonance with specific beings, and a persistent sense of non-human identity all contribute to the discovery process.
