P.C. or PC culture is short for political correctness, and these days there is absolutely no holding back. Being transgender or transracial isn’t even that exciting anymore! For example, “otherkin” is now “an umbrella term for beings in human bodies who identify as non-human.” It turns out categorizing people, and also non-human people is far broader than one would initially suspect. Besides those who identify as animals such as a hippopotamus, there are some who identify as mythical creatures, weather, abstract concepts, and even as children of the opposite sex:

She said in an interview, “I could certainly see a case being made that I latched on to wolves because of some difficult times in my life.” She continued to explain, “I saw family in them, I saw protection and familiarity, and I saw an escape from what I was dealing with in my life.” Jessie says her love of wolves is now a lifestyle and spiritual experience. She often has episodes where she feels the characteristics of being a wolf. She said, “I would prowl my room late at night as a wolf, usually when I was restless or agitated. This was comforting to put myself into another place. Whether this is mental or spiritual, I don’t really know. I still do a version of this to this day, and I know it’s felt like both. I’m diagnosed with depression and generalized anxiety, and there are many days where putting myself in ‘wolf mind’ helps to relax me.”

We have another term for you: non-binary. These are people who don’t identify as male or female all of the time. There are infinite subsections like bi-gender, demi-girl, agender, and gender fluid. The person in this picture identifies as “non-binary, trans-masculine.” He is also Jewish. He stated, “Years ago when I came out I went to the wall [Western Wall in Jerusalem]. There are three sections – the male section, the female section and an ungendered section. Now I would probably go to the ungendered section, but it was my first time presenting as male in such a holy place and I went to the male section of the wall. It made me so happy to do that, to go to the part of the wall I wanted to. I was transitioning medically and spiritually and it was one of the most important moments of my life. Jewish online magazine reported on that and it sparked off online, I got really abusive messages. I thought, these people don’t know me, I don’t think anyone should be able to tell you who you are and how to live your life. Yourself is yourself, even in the religious community.”
