    One thing to note is that drag might be therian. The gist of it is that sometimes the brain glitches out and finds it easier to relate to other species of animals, real or not, than other humans. Therianthropy can even go as far as causing people to have phantom tails, ears, etc. No idea why, it just kinda happens.

    It’s one of those things that sounds weird and is hard to relate to or understand if you’ve never experienced it; so it gets a bad rap. That and there are animal abusers zoophiles who try to use it as a nicer way of saying, “I like abusing animals bestiality”. It sucks.

    That said, there’s nothing wrong with being therian if you’re being legit about it, imo it’s just another form of neurodivergence. Though, I’m not sure if I totally agree with trying to force people to accept it by using “drag” pronouns, buuuuut I guess you could say the same about me wanting people to use she/her instead of he/him. If being referred to as “drag” makes drag happy, then w/e I guess.

    Edit: imo, if you wanna screw with drag, just accept drag for who drag is. If drag is really looking for attention, then drag will get bored or annoyed. On the other hand, if drag actually needs that kind of affirmation, then you’re doing a good thing for drag. You’re honestly probably making drag feel amazing by using the correct pronouns.

      This is the way. Causing drama is what an attention seeker wants. Avoiding drama is what a person who has whatever we want to call the affliction wants. In all cases, the best case is to just accept the person at face value, avoid the drama, and keep living.

      Ffs, I thought the drag thing was just their chosen nickname, because writing dragonfucker every time was too tiresome for them. I find it pretty sketch though, if they really identified as a dragon (I can’t believe I just typed that out), then it’s weird they chose an explicitly sexual username. I mean, I enjoyed the occasional gay sex before I got married, but I never considered using “cocksucker” as a handle online. Why would anyone do that?
