Nonhumanity and gender

The relationship between nonhumanity and gender has been frequently discussed. There are mixed opinions on how interrelated the two categories are broadly, with some people considering nonhumanity a type of queerness itself, and some feeling that they should never be compared. Otherkin and furries have been likened to transgender people by people both inside and outside the communities, in both positive and negative lights. Transgender nonhumans have written extensively about their experiences at the intersection of these two identities. Journalists and researchers have attempted to use transgender identity as a frame of reference for understanding nonhuman identities. In recent years, otherkin and furries have been invoked in court cases as being related to, or sometimes even a subtype of, being transgender.

Transgender nonhumans may additionally identify as transspecies.

really unsure what sections this article should have, i guess thatll become apparent once we actually mine the sources lol ~ joey
