I myself have pointed ears, and I notice that there are quite a few others with pointed ears. I am also aware that there are body mod practitioners who will make your

I tried to explain otherkin to my sister, she thought I was making it all up.

I just made my husband read. It was much easier than explaining.

I explained otherkin, furries and that guy who's married to a horse to my mom the other night.

Aside from the otherkin factor, I see very little stupid here. So far in the comments everyone is saying "Well, I have this quirk or that quirk, but it can easily be explained this way or that way and therefore prolly has little to do with my kin thing". Everyone seems to be pretty rational about it all and have their feet on the ground.

Whoa, my sisters have polycystic ovaries. You know what this means...The whole time my own sisters weren't even human, they could have at least told me.

Oh my god! I have inverted nipples! I'm not fully human, I guess.
