Anyone who calls otherkinity a mental illness falls under 3 grous
a) concern-troll
b) someone who read a few articles and tumblr posts about personality disorders online and thinks they can diagnose people they never met. sometimes they’ll even be against self-dx, for ironic funsies.
c) someone who is actually going to school to work with mentally ill people, and will use their personal bias against things that go against their worldview to torture and shame their patients. that whole part about how “spiritual/strange beliefs don’t count as mental illness unless they cause impairment in functioning” will go right over their heads and into the trash
