Definition & About Therians

Therians are individuals who believe or feel that they are non-human animals in a non-biological sense. While therians mainly attribute their experiences of therianthropy to either spirituality or psychology, the way in which they consider their therian identity is not a defining characteristic of therianthropy; as long as a person identifies their sense of self as being that of a non-human animal, they can be considered a therian. The animal which a therian identifies as is known by the community as a "theriotype", and this can refer to either the animal they identify as or, more specifically, their own non-human animal identity. For example, a therian who believes in reincarnation may use the word "theriotype" to refer specifically to their past life or, more generally, to indicate that they are speaking about the animal species they identify as. Therians often use the term "species dysphoria" to describe their feelings of disconnect from their human bodies and their underlying desire to live as their theriotype. (Wikipedia)Therians are often hated upon and harrassed, which is a big issue. Some people tell therians "You're a human, not an animal!".
Therians are indeed aware they are humans. They know they are in the form/body of a human. They usually believe they have the soul of an animal, sometimes multiple animals.
Therians are not zoophiles.
We are in human form, meaning that acting in any sexual manner toward non-human beings is considered bestiality. Therians do not act in nor endorse zoophilia, necrozoophilia, or zoosadism in any way.

FAQ

Q: Can you decide to be a therian, or become one?A: No. You cannot decide to be a therian nor "become" one.Q: How do you find your theriotype?
A: I don't know much about how to find it, but some methods are shifting, and/or meditation.
Q: Does doing quadrobics and/or wearing a mask make you a therian?
A: No. Therians are people who believe they have the soul of an animal. They find out from belief, not activity/looks.
Q: Do you have to have a mask, ears, tail, and do quadrobics to be a therian?
A: No. Read the previous question for an explanation.
Q: Are therians zoophiles?
A: No. We are aware that we are human and it would count as bestiality. We don't endorse it at all.

Symbolism

Therians use the Theta Delta symbol. It represents us, and only a few people understand what the symbol is for. Therians are usually the only people who know/understand the symbol. It comes from the Greek alphabet, the letters Theta and Delta.
