Slides from the "am I Therian enough for this??" panel on #EF30

Missed the beginning, but it might still be useful and give me fuel for my thoughts. Will write them later.

Light blue background. Header: "Labels - What they actually are". Left column: "Authored by the community" with "1. Production", "2. Contesting", "3.

Three sections titled "Avoid External Gatekeeping", "Avoid Internal Gatekeeping", "Use labels as approximations" with bullet points. Right-side cartoon of a cracked stone wall/small building and a lamp post.
Slide titled "Social Identity vs Personal Identity" with three labeled panels: "Outgroup" (stack of many orange-and-white cartoon foxes), "Ingroup" (three orange-and-white foxes clustered together), "Personal" (single orange-and-white fox wearing a vest labeled "EMOTIONAL SUPPORT").

And the continuation. It would be better to get originals from the hosts, but it will take time and attention, so better to post all right away.
Light blue field with centered bold black rounded text in three lines: "So how do current Therian Identities look like?". Thin brown-beige strip with a narrow green line runs across the top.
Header "Social Media and Therian" in black text on an orange bar. Collage of photos: people wearing animal masks and costumes in green park and near trees, group on a bench, one person midair jumping over others, person crouched on a path in black outfit. Right panel headline: "VIRAL TREND IN ARGENTINA HAS YOUNG PEOPLE IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES AS ANIMALS."
Orange top band with black text "Thanks google". Dark-mode Google search results with search box reading "Therian". Heading "Theria" and subtext "Mammal". Tabs "All Images Videos Products Short videos News More Tools". Multiple thumbnails and YouTube durations "38:22", "7:04".

Pale blue background, orange gradient top bar, black-and-white triangular eye over pyramid graphic at right, brown fur and green strip at bottom.
Tan header reads "The Therian that is being painted". White slide background with a large red rectangle centered containing white text "NO!". Red diagonal X on left and red arrows pointing to a cropped photo of a person wearing a gray sleeve and black sneakers on gravel; small black text fragments "So to b" and "have" visible.

Right: bullet text lines including "Expression is one dynamic ..." and "Both are equally powerful!" and "Poppy Hapalopus suggests 'integrality' as an indicator."
The integration test — orange header, light blue background. Text: "Integrality is testable for yourself ... Could be helpful for self acceptance, but don't push yourself. :3" Underlined: "What that could mean - two examples:" Two columns: Pole 1: "That was easy"; Pole 2: "That was challenging."
White background with brown top border and thin green line; centered black triangle intertwined with a circle and a horizontal bar. Text: "We're (maybe) Therian ... what now?"; "Everybody's different, there is no one-size-fits-all "how to" ... ... but community helps to find out for yourself!"; "Visit Marks Therian Meetup and connect to other like-minded! (We'll be hanging out there, too. ;3)"
