A woman who identifies as a wolf says that people often have 'misconceptions' about her her 'spiritual and psychological' life as a animal.
Naia Ōkami, 27, from Seattle, identifies as a British Columbian wolf and regards herself as an otherkin therian - a subculture who believe their soul is that of an animal, rather than a human.
In 2017, Naia came out as a transgender woman on social media and in November 2019, she revealed to her followers that she had legally changed her gender to female.
She insists that despite sometimes barking and howling like a wolf, she is aware she is physically human and maintains a 'serious job' while 'spiritually expressing herself' as an animal.
Appearing on This Morning today, Naia explained that by day she works as an online investigator for a non-profit but still occasionally 'wolfs out' in the woods to connect with her animal psyche.
'I think a lot of people have a misconception that I think I am physically a wolf and obviously I don't. I have a serious job, I pay my bills and taxes this is just how I spiritually express myself.'
Naia discovered she identified as an animal at a young age, revealing she began researching real-life wolves after constantly 'dream shifting' into the animal. She made her first public appearance as a wolf on US television in 2013.
Naia says that her identity as a wolf manifests itself in her day-to-day life by trying to connect her regular activities to her spirituality.

'When I was in high school, I was a lot more shamelessly expressive, she said. 'I would vocalise, I would howl, that is how I express myself, Nowadays It's a little different,'

We need a wolf on the supreme court.
Put her in the zoo.
Somebody please put her out of misery.
So does she demand an either sex restroom with a litter box at work?
If she’s a wolf she should either be reintroduced into a wilderness somewhere or put in a zoo or wildlife preserve.
Not a “her”.

Mental
Why did we close the lunatic asylums?
I identify it as an a-hole and that is what I will call it
Transpecies restroom? Or a fire plug?
Claiming to be a canine? Put some fresh cat poop down in front of her and see if she eats it.
So this one is both a woman in a man’s body, and a wolf in a human’s body. (A she-wolf I presume, but you never know.) Man, that’s deep.
I certainly must yield to that correction.
Sorry, we have run out of letters.
Maybe she could marry Count Floyd, and they could both howl.
Enough with the profiles of the mentally ill!
This bi-pedal, organic, water & mineral bag [’cause I don’t want to offend anyone ;-)] needs lithium.
Can I self identify as tax exempt? I am getting tired of making my enemies rich.
