I've been told similar in person by actual middle school kids about others at their school--kids who wear tails to school, call themselves furries, etc. I took a bit of it with a grain of salt, but never really dismissed it. With what we know for certain about things happening in schools, it's not as much of a stretch as it seems.
A while ago it was "otherkin" which was spread on tumblr, but this time it's "therian" being spread on tiktok. Basically the same mental illness but a new coat of paint.

I was certain it was just made up by 4chan posters years ago, but a lot of things they made up ended up coming true.
