NEW ANIMAL IDENTITY TERM. ANIFAUX. COINED BY US (k9s)

ANIFAUX - Someone who has some sort of deep rooted connection to an animal(s). These individuals feel out of place in their body, and that they would fit better as a species other than human. Their behavior, love style, and personality might reflect this behavior naturally. Anifauxies may have had a deep rooted connection to their anifauxtype since childhood, or could've discovered recently. They differ from therians and otherkin in the way that they know they are human and don't have any religious beliefs around their identity, but that feels fundamentally wrong. Their mental state more often than not reflects their anifauxtype, and though they may shift to a heavier anifaux regression, the constant animalistic view on the world never truly goes away.

if you relate, find out your anifauxtype below

How does this differ from Therians?

We made this because Therianthropy/Nonhuman/Otherkin just didn't feel right. Some Therians aren't religious, and I can see how other nonhuman identities are similar! We just made this term because those didn't feel right. It feels as if god accidentally put an animals brain in our body (though we don't believe that, it's just a heavy identity feeling.) It's definitely something to do with our mental disorders that make it hard to socialize with people. But Dogs? Cats? Befriended instantly. We love like a dog, our physical behavior reflects canines, yet we know we're human. But "human" is just wrong.

hey! i just wanna say i find anifaux super cool! the emphasis on how youre raised really hit hard with me cause im a psych therian / alterhuman in a way thats completely seperate from how my childhood influenced my connection to dogs and behavior (kind of. im cat alterhuman because of my system but collectively we were treated very similar to a dog growing up and those animal connections feel Different i guess)

SAME !!! I’m so happy to help, welcome to the anifaux club :)
