I do not know where to put this. I just started watching a telly show about people who believe they are animals. They call themselves Therians. They could be a wolf or a dog or a raccoon. They could be any number of animals. Animal spirits or some form of dissociation?

Has anybody else heard about this? and what are your thoughts on the matter?.

I have seen something about this on MTV once. I'm not sure that I can... believe they are really meant to be animals? But I believe that they believe it.
From my understanding of the show I saw, they explained it like transgender. They were born into the wrong species.
Rather odd, but who knows. Maybe it'll come up in the DSM one day!
