The human condition sucks. I moved past it long ago and you should too. I don’t like humour based on learned helplessness. Humans complaining about being human isn’t funny, because being human is their own choice.
You really shouldn’t treat being otherkin as a mental problem. It’s rather offensive. And you don’t need to yuck someone else’s yum just because they’re a different species than you. Being myself isn’t boring at all.
Oh, that whole otherkin thing is absolutely a symptom of mental illness or maladjusment. I’m being blunt, and I expect you will find this insulting. I have no intent to insult or demean.
If you’re being genuine, you should seek help. I’ve seen it a fair amount, the same with DID self diagnosis. If you think those things are real, you are likely experiencing a personality disorder or struggling with some other mental illness.
While there are plenty of voices online that will tell you that you are this way and it’s okay, it isn’t. It can be socially isolating and impact your life in negative ways. Not trying to be disrespectful. Gender dysphoria and transgenderism/non-binary have scientific backing. Otherkin and DID seem to be an outgrowth of the kink and autistic communities, seems to be a very infectious thing. The otherkin thing came to my attention about 15 years ago and DID popped up maybe 6-7 years ago.
Seems to be a metastasis of otherness into a maladaptive identity pathology. Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in anyone who isn’t on the spectrum.
I generally excuse myself from an in-person conversation when someone mentions they are kin or DID. It seems to be a treatment resistant pathology and latches on similar to bad religion. It is self reinforcing and isolating.
Again, I’m saying this with respect and care as an active participant of the kink/queer/leather community. I’m all about some pups, D/s relationship dynamics, but I also try and stick to science. Labels serve us, we are not our labels. Please seek counseling if you haven’t already.
Boo. Gender differences are part of the human condition and can be funny. You just have to let it not slide into misogyny or misandry.
Hang out with some drag queens, if you don’t find their gendered humor funny, you need to have a think about your worldview.
Also, cis-het is naturally the majority of people. They are going to find humor in their shared gender differences.

Wow. That’s pretty warped. It sounds joyless and isolating.
I enjoy my meat suit and find joy in the meat suits of others.
If this is actually your worldview and not just you concern trolling, I recommend you seek some counseling. I say this with respect and concern.

You’ll grow out of being human one day. Or you’ll get old and die. But your descendants will grow out of it.
