Just a small point here. In my experience, otherkin don't claim to have animal brains. They claim to have animal souls or spirits. It's not the same thing. One is an essential part of self that exists on a spiritual rather than physical plane, while the other is the actual biological nuts and bolts in our head.

I think that comparing this kind of animal spirit to race and gender is ridiculous. I wouldn't call it pathological. That said, I also think it's only as ridiculous as the people who scream and yell about how this religion or that religion is treated in the media and why is it okay for everyone to make fun of the wacky Christians and not the LGBT people, or POCs, or women?

But to reduce the idea of people having animal spirits/souls to wacky hijinks is also ridiculous. Are there people who use it this way. Yes, almost certainly there are, but there are also people for whom this is a deep and abiding belief about who they are, and there have been for thousands of years. Maybe they haven't always called themselves otherkin, but they have existed. At times, and in particular places, believing that this was possible (and usually a lucky and auspicious thing) was commonplace.
