Interesting and in-depth summary. Do you think Otherkin identities are exclusively caused by sexual attraction?

I lean toward "yes". The autosexual mechanism for constructing trans identity can create such a wide variety of identities. In addition, an abnormally high % of Otherkin are also transgender, and there is a lot of phenomenological overlap (euphoria/dysphoria, mental shifts, phantom anatomy, envy, etc) between autoheterosexual trans identity and Otherkin identity.
