otherization

The implementation of an ‘us and them’ dichotomy that allows one group of humans to dehumanize another.

Every single member of this classist and ethnocentric Trump administration has mastered their own otherization narrative which when taken together clearly parallels Hitler’s Final Solution.

otherhearted

Otherhearted is feeling a deep connection to a certain animal, or animals. The connection/bond runs so deep it effects the way you identify. Otherhearted people identify with an animal. Many feel as if these animals are their friends, or non-blood families. If you want to say what your otherhearted creature is, you can call it your kith. Or (animal)hearted.

"She's wolfkith."

"He is foxhearted."

"They are otherhearted."

"His kithtype is cats."

otherish

This is the true opposite of selfish. Synonymous with selfless.

A selfless person thinks less about himself. But there is still some "self" in that word we use. The best way to be selfless is to be otherish. That's a more descriptive word for where we really should focus our attention. And it is a positive rather than negative word.

othering

the act of alienating from the group; not including someone because they are different

The kids in the choir are always othering the ones that don't sing very well; they won't let them sit at the same lunch table.
Othering people who aren't like you isn't cool; you may be losing out on a new friend with your close-minded fears of anything different from what you are used to; and besides, it's mean.

otherness

(n) the qualities that make a person different from the group

Her otherness made the cool people want to get to know her better because she was mysterious, but her otherness made the close-minded people alienate her from the group.

Otherism

The box that is checked when you do not belong to a major Religion, i.e.; Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Christian or Nudism
Probably the fastest growing new Religion.

When I told my wife's parents I was changing my Religion to Otherism, they just nodded sagely.
