The human condition sucks. I moved past it long ago and you should too. I don’t like humour based on learned helplessness. Humans complaining about being human isn’t funny, because being human is their own choice.
You really shouldn’t treat being otherkin as a mental problem. It’s rather offensive. And you don’t need to yuck someone else’s yum just because they’re a different species than you. Being myself isn’t boring at all.
Oh, that whole otherkin thing is absolutely a symptom of mental illness or maladjusment. I’m being blunt, and I expect you will find this insulting. I have no intent to insult or demean.
If you’re being genuine, you should seek help. I’ve seen it a fair amount, the same with DID self diagnosis. If you think those things are real, you are likely experiencing a personality disorder or struggling with some other mental illness.
While there are plenty of voices online that will tell you that you are this way and it’s okay, it isn’t. It can be socially isolating and impact your life in negative ways. Not trying to be disrespectful. Gender dysphoria and transgenderism/non-binary have scientific backing. Otherkin and DID seem to be an outgrowth of the kink and autistic communities, seems to be a very infectious thing. The otherkin thing came to my attention about 15 years ago and DID popped up maybe 6-7 years ago.
Seems to be a metastasis of otherness into a maladaptive identity pathology. Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in anyone who isn’t on the spectrum.
I generally excuse myself from an in-person conversation when someone mentions they are kin or DID. It seems to be a treatment resistant pathology and latches on similar to bad religion. It is self reinforcing and isolating.
Again, I’m saying this with respect and care as an active participant of the kink/queer/leather community. I’m all about some pups, D/s relationship dynamics, but I also try and stick to science. Labels serve us, we are not our labels. Please seek counseling if you haven’t already.
Gender is a social construct and inherently malleable and subjective, which permits infinite diversity. Therefore, all claimed differences are inaccurate stereotypes.
When people talk about gender stereotypes, they’re not usually saying “every man is like this!” or “every woman does that!”
Its more, “here’s a general trend I have seen in this group of people, the majority being categorised neatly within this gender range, amongst this diaspora of people, within this socioeconomic band.”
But people dont explicitly say that, because they assume that others know what they mean.
It can be. Italians expressing themselves through their hands; Germans doing the socks and sandals; Welsh and Arabs having throaty names; Greek beards vs Turkish moustaches; I can go on…
The point where it stops being funny is when it’s actively used to keep said groups down.
But as banter between friends of equal stature? Hilarious.
Gender differences aren’t funny
Boo. Gender differences are part of the human condition and can be funny. You just have to let it not slide into misogyny or misandry.
Hang out with some drag queens, if you don’t find their gendered humor funny, you need to have a think about your worldview.
Also, cis-het is naturally the majority of people. They are going to find humor in their shared gender differences.

Wow. That’s pretty warped. It sounds joyless and isolating.
I enjoy my meat suit and find joy in the meat suits of others.
If this is actually your worldview and not just you concern trolling, I recommend you seek some counseling. I say this with respect and concern.

You’ll grow out of being human one day. Or you’ll get old and die. But your descendants will grow out of it.
Why not?

Yeah and that’s not funny

“all claimed differences” pls no
i am fine with you claiming that there should be no difference when is comes to humor (i disagree, but thats your opinion)
But please leave the differences when it comes to medicine/psychology…
There are a lot of things that booth share but there are definetly some differences that should not be underestimated
like how medicine was mostly made for men before they noticed that women are not small men
I would even say that trans people who dont like their born gender should be upfront about their transition with all their doctors
You’re mixing up gender with sex
the words have the same meaning in my language so you are right
sorry for being mean over this mix up
