Basically, TG has a much higher % of LGBT+ than the general population. I've heard LGBT+ people mention that they once believed themselves to have a non-human identity, because of how alien they felt within their bodies.
Do you think it's possible that some people think of themselves as therian, but are in fact only LGBT+?

There is a transgender dragon... Well someone who changed their look with tattoos, body piercings and getting their nose and ears reshaped there is also cat man who changed himself into a tiger but he recently passed away
I said something in chat today "I think it may be something like soul transferance where experiences and feeling of past lives get transferred to our current life." I mean this can apply to spiritual therians and otherkin who believe in past lives or the dual souls theory but then again I can't relate to those who identify as physiological. Vacuum cleaners are a problem for me too dust.
Just wanted to reply real quick on the test placed in bold.
This is called '(heavy)body modification' It's actually a hobby/form of art/form of expression and 'subculture', it's also refered to as a 'trend'. This actually has nothing to do with someones identity or LGBT+ or therianthropy/otherkinity. Not necessarily atleast, some therians might wanna do heavy modification, but that's not what makes them a therian. Just as some therians enjoy getting a tattoo of an animal.
They once identified the 'parrot man', someone who coloured his eyes, tattood feathers, removed his nose and ears etc etc to look like a parrot. They asked him why, and if he saw himself as a parrot. He answered he didn't feel as if he actually was a parrot or identified as it. But simply did it as he loved parrots.
I know someone who did heavy modification to look like an elf simply because they wanted to bring fantasy into the real world. They didn't identify as an fairy or such. And there are multiple cases out there like this.
So I don't think that transgender that did bodymodification to look like a dragon, might be a dragon otherkin. (chance is, but usually it's just a form of art, expression and subculture related to getting a tattoo or piercing)
