horsekinWhat name do you want to be referred to as?
Anja. It's my legal name too. c:
What is your 'kin type?
Like my username says, I'm horsekin. To be specific I am a Peruvian Paso. Like their name suggests they're a breed of domestic horse from Peru... Which sometimes makes me feel very off, since I'm from Switzerland.
How long have you been awakened?
I would say a few years... Maybe since mid-2011.
Describe your awakening experience.
I have always felt something was "wrong" with me when people talked about being human, human society, humanity... And I've always felt much more comfortable and safer with animals that weren't human, and especially horses. Of course I never heard of therian or otherkin before... Until I made a tumblr to try and meet more English speaking equestrians. (The tumblr equestrian community is quite large!) And I happened upon a blogger who spoke about being a "horse therian", which led to me finding even more otherkin/therian activist blogs, and suddenly I understood... I'm not the only being with these feeling sof being misplaced, of not being part of the "human" society and family.
If you're non-kin, what brought you here?
Well I'm kin but I'm here to make more friends, hopefully, in a safer and more private site. Tumblr has too many chances for trolls and bigots to have their fun.
