[anarchyopteryx]

What name do you want to be referred to as?
For the purposes of this place, AnarchyOpteryx or An-Op will be fine.

What is your 'kin type?/If you're non-kin, what brought you here?
You can consider me a non-kin ally. I don't identify as kin, but I don't "identify" as human, or anything else like that, either. I'm just "a generic person" as far as those things are concerned.

You could say I'm someone who is chafed about people that assume things about me because I'm a this, or a that, or anything I did not, cannot, or choose to be, and as such don't identify as anything that has to do with my physical body, or where I was born, or anything other than my personal values and actions. A tall order in this world, I guess.

How long have you been awakened?/Describe your awakening experience.
There's a couple reasons I've taken interest in the otherkin community lately.

The first is because I'm sick of seeing arbitrary hate and what I call "the hierarchy of acceptable targets". I hate the divisiveness that is so common, and hate that people only give up their xenophobia when forced to, and then go ahead and find the next target down. I think we need to accept everybody, period, or else we're hypocrites. 

The second is much more selfish, but also more sincere. I don't have many friends and have had trouble making (and keeping them), in part I think because I have a really different value system and a pretty weird way of thinking (I don't think this is for any kind big reason, it's just the way I am)

I don't know how, who, or what right now, but I'm hoping to at least make some connections.

Guess I'm just saying... anyone that wants my support has it.

I hope that's okay. I always feel nervous about things like this because I'm worried of getting a reaction of  "gtfo you're not one of us" and in a lot of ways that's totally valid.  But I figure if anywhere's not going to judge me for what makes me different and all that it's somewhere like this.

That's all, really. If you read this, have a nice day!
