Being a therian isn't all fun and games. We feel as if we are trapped in a body we don't belong in. We long to be in the body of another species. We do not choose to be this way. Therianthropy is not a choice. I am not saying that being a therian is the worst thing ever and it all sucks because that's not true, there are good things. However the dysphoria and hate is another story. You can make masks, do quads and activities like that without being a therian! You also don't have to do any of those things if you are a therian. Doing those things helps some connect to their theriotypes, but it doesn't make you any less of a therian if you don't do them.
Sure its all fun and games until "it" happens I have been experiencing more and more dysphoria mainly my dragon kin.. (╯ರ ~ ರ)╯︵ ┻━┻ This is the main reason iv been ghosting to y'all and stuff I just cant stop it from getting in my head.
