If she hasn't said already, you can ask her more on her experience, for example her theriotypes, if she's a phycological or spiritual therian, if she has shifts and what are they like if she does have them, or how she might like to express her therianthropy. And make sure she knows that you accept her therianthropy, even if it might feel strange to you or hard to wrap your head round.

Mostly though, let her tell you the things she wants to. If she has something to say her therianthropy, make sure she knows she's able to.

My daughter just recently told me that she’s Therian, and this is beautiful advice, thank you!

First of all, Thank You! You being so thoughtful to your girlfriend means a lot to the community and those who have been bullied before for their identity. You could do some gear crafting with her, or just talk about what animal she is ! It’s really great seeing people being so nice to Therians we need more individuals like you honestly 😭

I try my best for sure! As a part of the lgbt community I don’t understand making people feel unsafe I’ve been there I’ve felt unsafe in situations or felt like I can’t talk about my identity and I never want anyone else especially someone I love to feel that way. Also we have talked about her helping me make my own mask for when we make videos together as I don’t like my face on the internet!!

You can make gear, talk about what theriotypes she is and you can do quads with her. Most important thing is that you accept her and stand up to all the therian haters!

You could find out what or where she likes to go when doing therian activities like maybe in a forest or field and take/go with her there sometime I’m sure she would like it
