Factkin are people who claim to be other real human beings, whether past or present. The term factkin was invented on tumblr to mock otherkin, therians, and fictionkin. However, by definition, factkin are not otherkin; the term factkin refers to humans only. The concept of factkin, as described on tumblr, is identical to experiences of human past lives, dissociative fugue, delusions, etc. There is also the issue of identity theft, as several claimed factkin source their kintypes as living people, giving conflicting information about sexual, gender, and religious identity often to celebrities or historical figures.
