Yes, because those motherfucking bonzo crazy right wing religious anti-gay marriage preachers and transphobes like to bring up the whole "well there are folks who want to marry their dog or dress like cats saying they should be able to do that, you allow this[Gay Marriage/TS children being allowed to transition in schools] and it is them next". And people go on google and find otherkin fuckheads claiming they are a fairy werewolf trapped in a human body, then that lends credence to the nutso crazy on FOX or local talk radio. When the crazy gets the Anti Gay Marriage or Deny Transsexual Transition onto the ballot, it is in their minds.

It might not be a huge effect, just a trickle and tickle at the back of the mind of the sane. Just a "well, I know they sound crazy, but a grain of truth y'all" effect. That adds up, it might just be a pebble on the mountain of boulders, but it is still yet another fucking stone that LGBT folk have to deal with. So knock it off.

To which I would say to that right winged person 'As long as it is between consenting adults, why the hell should you care? Of course we're not going to let that adult marry that dog because the dog can't consent to it but why does it bother you if they want to dress up or play around in the bed room?'

And I still think it's unfair to blame Otherkin when there are people out there with stranger fetishes. Watersports, anyone? That's a real thing, people getting off on bodily functions. It's not my kink, personally I don't get it, but I'm not going to put down people who are into it. Likewise, if there are people out there who get a little extra pleasure in having sex while wearing fursuits, how is it hurting you?

Basically, you can't stop the right-winged nut jobs from their way of thinking. Hell, I know they've tied gay marriage to pedophilia, which I'm sure is one fetish/kink/whathaveyou that we can all agree is not okay.

I have a friend who believes in reincarnation and says that she has reoccurring dreams of her past lives with such detail that she can spin whole tales about them. My belief doesn't match hers but that doesn't give me the right to call her mentally-ill just for having a different set of beliefs (which is how I think of Otherkin, a belief system more than just a bedroom kink).

Basically, back off. Let Otherkin be happy with who they are. Right-winged morons will be moronic for their own reasons and will reach for the furthest idea they think will help them. I especially enjoy their protest to protect the ideal family of a unified mother and father when my own family is divorced, I was raised by mother father and step parents, and I came out just fine.
