Am I a Therian?
A few months ago, I found out what therians are. And I related to them in a way. When I was younger (from like 2nd to 4th grade), I would get called a furry because I would bark and run around on all fours and play pretend games where I was an animal during recess. And that was part of what made me question if I'm a therian. I have loved nature for as long as I can remember, and my mom has pictures of me climbing trees, and picking flowers, and rolling around in the dirt. Also, my best friend when I was younger recently told me he is a therian, and a lot of the time we would play animal games together and stuff. still want to do the things I did when I was younger, but I guess I realised that it wasn't normal to do that stuff and I hated the teaseing. I also think I migh be a demitherian bc I'm also at peace with my human identity, but Idk, tell me what you think pls!
am I therian or catgender or what?
I keep getting this feeling that I'm a cat. I don't know why though. I also feel like I have Cat or Fox ears and a tail often. I don't know what it is, so if anyone can help please do!
How do I tell my parents I'm a therian?
I'm a therian, but I haven't told my parents yet and I'm not sure how they would react. I really want gear though, and I want to be in a place where I can safely be myself. Any suggestions?
How many theriotypes can one person have?
So, I'm a therian, (as stated by my name), and I have a bunch of therian friends. One day, I was making a big drawing of all of our theriotypes, when it occurred to me I didn't know what one of my friends had. (Let's call her W.). So, I asked W, and she gave me a whole LIST. I swear, this girl gave me like 8 animals. I just kinda said 'ok', and wrote them down, skeptical. So, can you have 8 theriotypes, or is W lying?

What to do if your family does not support your hobbies related to being a therian
I live alone but my parents don't approve of my behavior, calling it "reckless". I'm convinced it is not reckless to go outside in the woods for a bit to have fun (Drawing, ect.). Recklessness is endangering yourself and/or the people around you. And I do neither
I need identity advice HELP
I’m not one myself but I have a close friend who is a therian as Ms she found out in first grade and ever since some of the boys in our year have been calling her a furry since she tried to chase her tail at sports week in third grade. She tried explaining the difference to them but they didn’t listen and it got worse. I love being her friend but they sometimes tease me just for hanging out with her and it’s hard anyone got any ideas how to convince a bunch hormonal teenagers that you and your friends are normal?
