+[[File:Kingender.png|thumb|Kingender pride [[flags|flag]], for individuals whose gender identity is closely related to their otherkin type. Term and flag created by aroacehawkeye. The two symbols represent otherkin (seven-pointed star) and therianthropes (theta-delta symbol), respectively. The stripe color meanings follow the conventions of other pride flags: yellow for non-female/non-male [[nonbinary]] genders ([[agender]], etc), blue for [[male]], purple for mixed female/male nonbinary gender identities ([[androgyne]], etc), and pink for [[female]].<ref>"Kingender pride." ''Pride Archive'' (blog). [http://pridearchive.tumblr.com/post/91215568026/kingender-pride http://pridearchive.tumblr.com/post/91215568026/kingender-pride]</ref>]]
+'''Otherkin''' are real individuals who think of themselves as other than human. For example, an individual who says, "I am an elf." Usually, they mean that they are an elf in spirit, or identify as an elf in some other way. Each individual comes up with their own reasoning for how and why they are otherkin, and what kind of being they are.<ref>Orion Scribner. "A simple introduction to otherkin." [http://frameacloud.com/otherkin/nonfiction-otherkin/introduction-otherkin/ http://frameacloud.com/otherkin/nonfiction-otherkin/introduction-otherkin/]</ref>
+Otherkin is an identity, but not a [[gender identity]]. That said, some otherkin do think of their gender identity as part of, influenced, or best described with their otherkin identity. For example, a [[nonbinary gender]] person who has decided that the best way to describe their gender identity is to say, "My gender is elf." (There are also people outside of the otherkin community who use similarly non-gender-related concepts and archetypes to describe their nonbinary genders; see [[xenogender]].) Much of the otherkin community is made up of folks who are [[transgender]], [[genderqueer]], or nonbinary. This has always been so, ever since the 1960s.<ref>Orion Scribner. "Otherkin Timeline," abridged edition. [http://frameacloud.com/otherkin/nonfiction-otherkin/otherkin-timeline-abridged/ http://frameacloud.com/otherkin/nonfiction-otherkin/otherkin-timeline-abridged/]</ref> For this reason, the otherkin community has a tendency to be accepting of anyone who is transgender, genderqueer, or nonbinary. See the article [[nonbinary gender outside of the transgender community]] for other communities that are similarly welcoming.
-Otherkin is an mental defect, but not a [[retardation]]. That said, some otherkin do think of themselves as not being retarded however, they are very much so. For example, a [[nonbinary gender]] person who has a mental handicap that the best way to describe their mental blockage is to say, "My bwain huwts give me a wabotomy." (There are also people outside of the otherkin community who use similarly non-gender-related concepts and archetypes to describe their nonbinary genders; see [[xenogender]].) Much of the otherkin community is made up of folks who are [[transgender]], [[genderqueer]], or nonbinary. This has always been so, ever since the 1960s.<ref>Orion Scribner.
