ΘΔ Introduction Post ΘΔ
The lion self is nameless. The human constructs that guide the lion self through human society have various names.
We are a plural system of lion therians. We are essentially a bunch of "human" constructs that our brain has had to come up with over the years to navigate existing in human society as a lion.
Our lion theriotype is at the very core of who we are and it applies to every member of our system to some degree. Individual system members may have additional theriotypes but lionhood is universal for us.
Some of us feel more in touch with our lionhood than others. We've been a lion therian since childhood, and we have never hidden this aspect of ourselves from anyone.
We might not always describe it in terms of therianthropy, because we've had these experiences for around 25 years and we've only had a word for it for about 13 years. It's more common for us to just say we're a lion than for us to explain the concept of therianthropy.
Our lion self is sourced from the concept of lions rather than a specific lion, and therefore doesn't have a set gender or age.
