''''Meet the people who dont identify as human'''' is an article about otherkin and therians written by Gavia Baker-Whitelaw for the magazine The Weeks US edition. Baker-Whitelaw interviews multiple otherkin and therians, including Adalen, Miniar, and sade wolfkitten as well as a wolf therian going by the name Jessie and an anonymous Night Fury dragonkin. She also interviews multiple mental health professionals, who state that it "isnt a form of mental illness (unless people become delusional about it), so I dont see a particular need for treatment." and that there is no reason for a otherkin to seek professional help unless they are suffering. Baker-Whitelaw also discusses the issue of otherkin being compared to transgender individuals.
