So for the last year and a bit I've been figuring out my specie identity as that is pretty much the last part of me I think I felt unsure about... Recently I've discovered "Robotkin" - and I think after a long discussion with myself I think I can now accept it.
It makes sense though: I have been referring myself with machine terminology to describe me or my body's functions (power conduits, personality construct, coolant, etc) since my early Teens (at least), I gave myself a model number several years ago, I always did robotic-like gestures for things like waving, and I always just thought myself as a robot. More recently I've been hating the fact I'm organic, and I can't just modularly replace parts of myself! :akko_unamused2:
Considering technology and medical sciences are nowhere NEAR advance enough to do anything about this: nothing really changes. But it's good to have a name to how I've been feeling about myself! :apartyblobcat:
be careful, you never know when the person behind the other screen is actually an alien bug
Then: it/it's pronouns feel uncomfortable and dehumanizing to use.
Now: ...oh, right, that's the whole idea.
Je découvre le terme Thériantrope/Thérian qui "désigne les personnes qui s'identifient d'une manière non physique comme non-humains ou pas entièrement humains, et plus précisément comme des animaux existant ou ayant existé sur Terre".
Et par la même, celui d'alter-humanité désignant "des personnes qui s'identifient d'une manière non physique comme non-humains ou pas entièrement humains, de manière involontaire, profonde et constante".
Remember, keep a good heart and learn to love all sentient beings, regardless how much you may regard them as weird and different to you
Reject human, become animal :furry:

[P] I'm hoping over time we'll see more trans folks coming out against DERTs. I don't want to see the trans movement get dragged to the political right, because those fuckers are just going to outlaw their meds. There has to be a united, lefty WE that doesn't include the vile bigotry of those who "fit in" with vileness. No TERFs, no SWERFs, no DERTs. Forgiveness must always be there, but we can't tolerate hate.

[P] I guess even enby is too "weird" for them. Welp, that's some Grade A hypocrisy they're trotting out, considering how hard they've fought to not be seen as "weird" themselves, while genderqueer and alterhuman allies had their backs. Hey, DERTs? I think this knife is yours. Thanks for stabbing so many allies in the back. We're amassing quite the knife collection. Betrayal isn't a thing decent people do.

[P] Frickin'... DERTs (Dysphoria-Exclusionary Radical Trans) be winding me up again by invalidating anything that isn't a gender binary. Non-binary is so fake, you guys. As an enby, that fucking hurts. It hurts me when they're out to get xenogenders or being otherphobic (invalidating alterhuman dysphoria). I get people being bigots about us otherkin, because lemmigs that that "Ug ugg! Weird is bad!" reaction. But...

The extremely fun phenomenon of walk-in headmates of them randomly dropping the wildest fucking lore about their timeline.
What the FUCK do you MEAN they "filmed another Science-Guy show after Bill Nye retired"?
I really want to connect to other plural/otherkin (esp. fictionkin)/nonhuman/alterhuman blogs, but I don't know how to find them effectively.
….oh god do I actually have to be open and blog about this shit? Must I be the change I want to see in the world?
Hey, I'm Page! I'm 25+, I prefer he/they pronouns, and I'm queer, (neo)pagan, plural, and nonhuman (specifically folcintera).
I'm primarily an artist and writer; you can find most of my written work on my system's website, Three Dragons and a Dog, though I also publish TTRPGs and some other stuff on my itch.io.
I'm part of a five-person draconic system called the Sol System, and I'm primarily a canine psychopomp myself; most of what this blog entails will likely be personal shenanigans, art, and writings on alterhumanity, multiplicity/plurality, religion, queerness, and things of similar veins, albeit my other interests--the horror genre, food, tattooing--are likely to make appearances as well. If that interests you, consider giving a follow!
fedi, do you think it'd be cool for there to be a term for therians, otherkin, and pluralfolk who use a virtual avatar to express that part of themselves specifically?
i ask because (from our experience) things like "vtuber" seem to come with the expectation that you're playing a character/that your vtuber is your OC or sona rather than... just showing people what you look like internally, along with a lot of other expectations (most related to overarching idol culture). it feels like no matter how many times we tell people we're plural and alterhuman, we still end up being treated with the "your vtuber is your OC" sentiment.
hi hi! i am new here, i identify with being alterhuman. i love astrology and taking naps. i'll try to post when i can, when i feel. :3 #therian #alterhuman #nonhuman
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

but at least browsing the cohost archive is actually giving me results.
i'm not sure if people following the #therian hashtag already know about it or not, but i'm gonna share the resource either way:
The Alterhuman Archive seems to have a bunch of resources on therianthropy, alterhuman identities in general, and even plurality. and i mean a lot of them
