It took me embarassingly long to realize what "{f/ves}" means. Female vest? vessel? vestal?
Solution
yourself/yourselves
We apologise, it's very common to us now that we didn't think others wouldn't understand it.
Is this similar to Therians or otherkin, where people feel like they identify more with an animal or mythical creature? I mean I've heard some therians or otherkins do experience species dysphoria, so is that similar?
So, yes. However, Therian is specific to being an 'animal' from this planet or being animalistic in some way and not all of us are animals:
OtherKin doesn't necessarily mean one/many experiences species dysphoria, and it can be more of of a soul thing. They can experience such dysphoria, but it isn't a given or necessity to be considered OtherKin. Though it can be considered an umbrella term for some experiences:
There is also OtherHearted which can be similar to OtherKin, just a stronger connection:
There us also AlterHuman or AlterBeing that still relates to being Human in some way but slightly different to how most people experience it or can be non-human too, it is an umbrella term:
Finally, TransSpecies people like ourselves are folks that usually do not necessarily feel connected to humanity and would and will transition if we can either with technology, surgery, whatever medical science manages to figure out, socially etc:
That is at least our understanding of it, hope this helps!
