I was explaining species dysphoria to a guy on Reddit once and he responded somewhere along the lines of "I won't believe in it until I see a study." And that was just... a baffling take to me. This person, for context, was on a queer subreddit and a lot of his comments were defending queer topics. His response intrigued me.

Like- ok. I am an arctic fox. This is a thing I know about myself. I am asserting that self-knowledge, and he responds by saying my thoughts aren't scientific/rational. Weird. I'd venture most thoughts, especially those of such nebulous nature as identity, don't really come up scientific or rational.

But anyway, what would a scientific study on species dysphoria even look like? A bunch of people giving firsthand accounts of their emotions.

So, to boil down his argument, alterhumans don't exist because people in a university haven't asked a bunch of alterhumans to assert their existence.

Baffling.

Anyway I love all my alterhuman/therian/otherkin sophonts like myself, keep being badass!

the thing about adulthood is when someone says something extremely rude to you, you can either turn the other cheek or calmly & firmly correct them. The third option is to tell them “say that again, I’ll bite you” & everyone sort of nervously laughs and tries to move on from your little joke. Which is why I think it’s very important that when they do say it again you follow through. Nobody actually expects you to bite them. We should be biting more. Also if you’re with the county health department do not read thi s post

* Anon essay *

Why is it that i cant find anything on nonhuman identification (besides clinical zooanthropy) before a ceartain time period? Have the voices of transspecies beings past been erased into perhaps what back then is seen as madness? I honestly think so. now we cannot separate which stories are which, because not much care was taken with nuance. Back then so much as being angry (if you were a woman ) was seen as crazy. Im a firm believer that there have been beings like us for longer than the 70s. But where are the written works of confirmed nonhumans from the early 20th century? The victorian era? I highly doubt there was not one individual that secretly did not identify as human then. If we are not oppressed, then where are our stories? We cant ever know that cases labelled as clinical zooanthropy werent just those with species dysphoria. I often wish i could read perspectives of those who lived then. What was it like being transspecies, nonhuman, alterbeing ect. Hundreds of years ago? I dare to believe that there had to have been at least one poet or writer or artist or some one out there, and sometimes, since i believe in past lives, i feel like i have been one of them. Maybe i long to find something from hundreds of years ago bc my work was destroyed or erased in another life time.

And now i shitpost on tumblr lolololollololllolloll

People will be like oh you can't be stargender that's stupid you're making it up. What even is cloudgender. Come on. Boygender and girlgender are totally real though btw. And you have to pick one or you'll get in trouble

I know SEVERAL afab nonbinary people who, as soon as they came out as nonbinary - immediately began dressing in ridiculous hyper-femme outfits they never would have worn before.  A lot of people see this and say shit like “Theyfab” or say they are only nonbinary for attention.  After all, look how femme they are.

But to me, this makes perfect sense.  When you are forced into the category of “woman” against your will, femininity is a chore.  It’s a job that you have.  As soon as you say no, I’m not a woman, suddenly femininity isn’t your job anymore.  It’s not a requirement.  It’s just a fun hobby you can get into.  Or a little treat sometimes.

Would you mind explaining/elaborating on what you mean when you say that human is a political term? I saw your tags on that Nonhuman identity poll and I've never heard of that concept and I'm incredibly intrigued! Especially bc a lot of our other values and beliefs are similar, I would be grateful for the opportunity to expand my perspective if you had the energy to impart yours! (If not and u need to delete this ask tho, absolutely no worries!)

Yea! So 1 i did fuck up a bit in that is sociopolitical not just political, bc both law and social attitudes are connected to how person is a political term, as in, who is considered a Person. Historically, a person (lawfully) was a white, property owning cis man. This can be seen by how laws in many Western countries were geared towards that specific group. Everyone else, even white women to an extent, were basically considered lesser beings. I see that same sort of logic reflected in how we, as a society, talk abt humanity. Like what is considered "human"? Bc a lot of what (western) society consider normal human thoughts, behavior,and actions, are based solely on the behavior and opinions of white wealthy cis men. When this is the only group who's opinion matters and is seen as the ideal, anyone who can't match up to that (people of color especially Black ppl, women, queer people, disabled people, homeless people) are automatically put in the subhuman/nonhuman category.

A particular horrible example is when a sex worker is murdered/killed, cops often report it as a "no humans involved" bc to them (and society) a sex worker has failed to be properly Human. [Link]

If someone can fail to match up to what is considered human while still being the same biological being, then human is a political category, not just a biological term.

I've been confused for my own mother before (buying something with a credit card with my deadname on it, having a doctor's office receptionist double-check that I am the patient and not calling on his behalf because I "sounded more mature" on the phone and parents can't make appointments for adults), but I think the funniest wrong conclusion I've had strangers make about trans things I've had around was this time I was putting my old shit up at a flea market. I was selling stuff at a "this shit's gotta go before I'm about to move and I'm not hauling these back to another city"-price, and this old man who apparently frequented there to find stuff that's actually valuable being sold at such prices came to have a look at the goods while I was setting them up.

He was interested in some of my dishware, and asked politely if he could have a look at them while I was unpacking, and chatting with me while he waited for me to be done since he couldn't buy them before I was done (I let him have dibs, but the cash register wouldn't ring them up before I was all set). He apparently noticed that some of my silverware that I'd gotten as graduation gifts and literally never used had my old name engraved on them, but he didn't say anything about that.

But when I put up my old graduation dress - which wasn't worth much, cheap fake silk but it was a nice cut - he remarked "she must've left in a hurry to leave that behind." Since the finnish language doesn't have gendered pronouns, I didn't immediately make the connection that he was referring to someone female before he gestured at the dress. Once it clicked, I figured the best course of action was to just nod that yeah, she's not coming back for those and I'm not keeping them.

Dude had concluded that my deadname must be an ex that dumped my ass so fucking fast she didn't even pack her silverware or nice clothes.
