Thats kinda how I see it too, maybe for some modern animals that's how it could be, but a lot of therians do have theriotypes that are extinct or are mythical or fictional.. again not completely discrediting the theory XP

ty for warning us I'll keep an eye out

I believe it may happen when an animal dies at the same time as you were born, making you have past lives, and somehow having a strong connection. So yes, the reincarnation is possible.

By definition, it is a disease. "a disorder of structure or function in a human..." is the beginning of the definition of disease that I found on Google, and I would say that matches pretty well because Shifters disease because it's causing disorder in the function of a non-shifting person's function.
No one was shaming those who may be affected with shifting disease, only educating on what it is.

How is this a disorder?

I meant disorder as in dis + order (not in order), and not the psychological illness type of disorder! :3

afterthought:
although it's not a psychological illness that could be diagnosed by a psychiatrist, I don't think it's entirely wrong to call it that lol.
