1.Can you be kin outside your gender? E.g: if im cis female, can I be kin with a cis male character? 2. can you be kin with multiple characters? Is there a limit? And, can you be kin with multiple characters from the same source material? Thanks!

1. Yes, there is no gender, age, race, or other barrier on kintypes. I would say that a significant number if not a majority of…

on the subject of identity and my gender

Some of you may have noticed I have edited my ‘about me’ page a bit in the last couple days. This may come as a…

Re: gender=/=kintypes, I realize this was directed largely at anti-kin, and so I don’t blame you for not mentioning it, but there are times when your kintypes can affect your gender. Especially if said kintype is a noncorporeal/alien one, or a fictotype with a gender different than yours. Just worth mentioning, no t that Im necessarily suggesting you add it to the post.

There absolutely are times when gender can be influenced by your kinself/kintypes. I would say part of the reason I’m a transman is probably my…

Hi um! I appreciate your kin ≠ gender post, but the line about gender being “visible at all times” really rubs me wrong. For example: a stranger would probably assume I’m a cis girl.

Hello! I am very new to the otherkin/fictionkin community. I’m still not fully sure as to what it all means, who my ‘kins’ are – if I even have any at all. This blog has been a massive help, and I thank you for it! But what I want to know is if you have to identify as the same gender as your kin? For example, I am a cis female but one of the characters I think I might(!) identify with is male. Help?

Gender is essentially meaningless when it comes to fictionkin/otherkin. The person you’re kin to may be the same sex as your body, or a different…

Hey dude!! I like this blog, and this is pretty minor, but im implying genders have opposites enforces the gender binary which is not cool! Genders don’t have opposites, since gender is more of a spectrum! Thanks!

Could you point me to where I said this? I’m genderqueer, so I try to be pretty liberal in my gender language, and I’d like…
