They do, yeah. My issue is that it seems to be assumed that a) 'kin are always unaware of systematic oppression and b) 'kin conflate "being otherkin is an issue" with "being otherkin is a subject of oppression", when actually, most of the people I've seen conflating those two things are people arguing that all 'kin are awful.

I will freely admit that 'kin are not oppressed for being 'kin. I will not, however, admit that being 'kin isn't a struggle for them. I've spent enough time around 'kin to know that, whether or not it's literally true that they're in the wrong body and whatever the actual cause of their feelings, for at least some of them, it is a real struggle. Not least because, despite general opinion, most of the 'kin I know are rational enough to know that their feelings about themselves don't fit into the worldview provided by science. That means they tend to feel (again, in my limited experience) that either the world's insane or they are, and whether or not you believe it's them that's insane, that can't be easy.
