Otherkin Biology, also Otherkin Biologism, is the idea that there are biological causes for people become otherkin and therian, otherkin biology is derived from LGBT biology, that's the same thing but with LGBT. Otherkin biology advocates otherkin and therian behavior and consideration are more for a dysphoria and biologically determined than for mental illnesses. If proved correct, it might be a great step towards the recognition of otherkin and therian communities and rights, such as being proved that being otherkin or therian or even mythical/supernatural is the same thing as being a LGBT one according to LGBT biology.
"Otherkin Biology is a really amazing idea and hypothesis, futhermore, the studies on otherkin biology are still not well developed and they might take some years until be started. If proved right, being an otherkin or therian or even mythical/supernatural is more for a dysphoria and biologically determined than a purely mental illnesses, and it will show that even humans can have biological determined nonhuman traits and behavior."

Get the Otherkin Biology mug.Typically, an overweight web designer (i.e. unemployed) adolescent who discovered the reason they were bullied as a child was due to the fact they are spiritually a reincarnated dragon, angel, vampire and/ or cack-faced unicorn demi-god, and not because almost all children are bullied at one stage or another.
Many otherkin have a deep resentment for humanity and preach mankind’s tyranny, while simultaneously claiming all discrimination is bad. Otherkin believe themselves separate from society and above the mundane stresses and problems of normal life. Otherkin generally believe themselves to have superior intelligence and see themselves are truly above our evil consumerist world.
Unsurprisingly, the number of otherkin popping up out of the woodwork after the advent of the Internet has swelled their ranks considerably.

1. Despite preaching tolerance for one another's belief, anyone who does not blindly share the otherkin belief becomes a narrow-minded mundane who is unable to think for themselves, despite the glaring contradiction.
2. The highly intelligent otherkin posted an apology to themselves on UD under another person’s alias in an attempt to win a one-sided crusade against the oppression of idiots worldwide.
3. My name is Drakonstar2000_babe, who lived a past life as a dragon, making me an otherkin. I am currently a gryphon living inside a human body, if you disagree then you are a close-minded hy00man.

Otherkin believe, for many reasons, that they aren't 100% human. Otherkin know they're physically human, and don't believe they can physically shift into their kintype.
Otherkin do shift in other ways. For example, mental shifting is the state of becoming more like one's kintype mentally, often with some mix of heightened senses, phantom limbs, having strong urges to act like one's kintype, etc.
Otherkin can feel as though they are an animal (therians/therianthropes), a fictional character (fictionkin/fickin), or an object or plant. One's type is discovered through a process called awakening.
Some believe they were their type in a past life, some believe they are in an alternate universe, some believe they are on a metaphysical level, or they may hold some other belief. There is no single "correct" way to be otherkin, so long as one identifies as, not with, something nonhuman.
Otherkin don't think it's oppressive for non-kin to wear animal ears, plantkin don't care if you cut grass or eat vegetables, and therians don't act as their kintype in public, as they know they're physically human and must fit into society. They're just normal people, only a bit less human on the inside. You may have been served coffee by a dragon this week without knowing. You may even have friends/family members who're otherkin. They aren't inherently mentally ill, and they blend in with society just as well as anyone else.

I've been feeling leathery astral wings and horns lately, I may be dragonkin!
My cousin is otherkin, their kintype is a raccoon. Sometimes they wear a striped tail to feel closer to their kintype.
I'm fickin with Peridot from Steven Universe, when I get screentime it makes my day!
I'm caninekin, and no, I do not bark at strangers or pee outside.

Get the otherkin mug.Crazy people on the internet who desperately try to make themselves seem cool by claiming to be a reincarnated version of some kind of popular, charismatic animal or a monster they heard about in a roleplaying game. Usually they justify this by insisting their daydreams have some kind of bearing on the real world. It generally does not work, except with fellow otherkin and of course furries.
Lately the otherkin have branched off into even more mind-bogglingly insane territory with the otakukin movement.

I don't care how big the wingspan of your fifty-foot-tall-humanoid-dragon-soul is, Mr. Otherkin. I still don't like you.

Get the otherkin mug.A person or persons who identifies with something other than human, be it a wolf, a cat, a tree, a blobfish, a dragon, an empty pepsi can, an asteroid; the possibilities are limitless. It's been around for about a decade, but it only became well-known--aha, sorry, a trend--a year or so ago (take note of the date this definition was posted) via Tumblr.
Upon visiting a site which is swarming with these delusional people, mostly Tumblr, DeviantArt, or FurAffinity, one may suddenly realize that they are the reincarnation of a half-dragon half-plant and join their ranks.
Otherkin claim that their struggles are on par with those of trans* individuals and similar, when in reality they just want to be a special snowflake. They often tell people to use pronouns such as kin/kinself when referring to them. Which sounds kind of stupid when you use it in conversation, to be honest.
