a therian is:
What is a therian? “Therian” is short for “therianthrope”. It means a person who identifies integrally as a nonhuman being, such as a wolf, polar bear, or even earthworm.
You cannot become a therian, you must be born that way. While therians are not tressing that Therianthropy is the only kind of personal animal philosophy/spirituality, they are, however, stressing the differences between Therianthropy and these other 'ways of life' or spiritual beliefs."
In general, furries are individuals who say they are furries. Therians are individuals who believe they are not completely human and instead identify as a species of non-human animal.
therian percentage
Across samples, the proportion of participants who identify as therian has ranged from 5% to 20%. with the most recent sample containing 7% therians.
so, with that summing it up, how do you feel about me coming out to you and saying,
I think i'm a therian. really.
