What is a Therian?
Therianthropy, also known as therianism, is a spiritual belief that involves individuals identifying as partially human and partially animal. This belief has been present in various cultures throughout history, with many people feeling a deep connection to animals and their natural habitats. However, despite its prevalence, therianthropy remains largely misunderstood by mainstream society. As a result, therians often face discrimination, ridicule, and disrespect. In this article, we will explore ways to respect and understand therians, embracing their unique perspective on the world around us.
Here is a video explaining about Therianism on a shorter length .
Understanding Therianthropy
Before delving into how to respect therians, it’s essential to comprehend the basics of therianthropy. Therians believe they possess an inner animal or “theriotype,” which influences their behavior, thoughts, and emotions. They may identify as a specific species, such as a wolf, fox, or dragon, or feel a strong affinity towards multiple animals. This identification goes beyond mere fascination; therians genuinely feel a spiritual bond with their theriotype, which shapes their sense of self and identity.
Respecting Therians
Listen and Learn
The first step in respecting therians is to listen to their experiences and learn about their beliefs. Engage in open-minded dialogues with therians, ask questions, and seek to understand their perspectives. Avoid dismissing their beliefs as fantasy or delusion, and refrain from judgment. By actively listening, you demonstrate your willingness to accept and appreciate their unique spirituality.
Validate Their Identities
Acknowledge and validate therians’ identities, just as you would for anyone else’s spiritual or cultural beliefs. Recognize that their connection to their theriotype is authentic and meaningful, even if it differs from your own beliefs. Use language that respects their identity, such as referring to them by their preferred pronouns or species name.
Be Patient and Supportive
Many therians struggle with feelings of isolation, rejection, or marginalization due to societal stigma. Offer support and patience to those who may be struggling with these challenges. Encourage them to share their experiences and provide a safe space for expression without fear of judgment.
Embrace Diversity
Celebrate the diversity within the therian community, just as you would celebrate diversity among any other group. Each person’s experience and interpretation of therianthropy is unique, and there is no one “right” way to express it. Appreciate the richness of different theriotypes, traditions, and practices within the community.
Educate Yourself
Take the initiative to educate yourself about therianthropy, its history, and its significance in various cultures. Read books, articles, and online resources to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Familiarizing yourself with the terminology used within the community can help facilitate communication and avoid unintended offense.
Speak Out Against Discrimination
When witnessing discriminatory behavior or language directed at therians, speak out against it. Challenge harmful stereotypes and misconceptions, and advocate for respect and inclusion. Report incidents of harassment or bullying to authorities when necessary, and offer support to those affected.
Celebrate and Participate
Participate in events and activities that promote awareness and acceptance of therianthropy. Attend workshops, conferences, and gatherings where therians come together to share their experiences and connect with others. Show your support by attending these events, purchasing artwork or crafts created by therians, or engaging in discussions on social media platforms.
The Conclusion
Embracing and respecting therians requires an open mind, empathy, and a willingness to learn. By acknowledging and validating their identities, being patient and supportive, embracing diversity, educating ourselves, speaking out against discrimination, and participating in community events, we can create a more inclusive environment for all. Let us recognize and honor the profound connections that exist between humans and animals, and celebrate the enrichment that therianthropy brings to our lives.
