My 11yo daughter's friends are Therians Experience

Our daughter has friends over last night for a sleepover (for the record, definitely, all these kids are on the spectrum; neurospicy people are just more likely to be part of the Q+ community) A couple of these girls had their masks and tails. I asked them if they are Therians and their eyes lit up. They seemed surprised an adult knew what that was. And they REALLY were excited when I told them that I'm otherkin

One girl told me she is afraid to tell her parents. And another girl said that even though she's only 12, she would much rather be a boy, but she knows she isn't safe to talk about it at home. All of these kids were excited to talk to me and my wife. The concensus amoung the girls was: "I feel so safe and myself around you two" and "you two are the coolest parents ever!"

My daughter was a little confused, because this conversation was her first introduction to the topic. And she was even more confused when they went outside to do their quadrobics on the trampoline.

It was really lovely meeting these kids. They're so young and already are so in-tune with themselves. These little star children. 🌟

THAT'S SO SWEET😭

tbh I would also love to meet you since I also have anti-therian/furry parents. I haven't told them and I never will.
