I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.
Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.
Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.
It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.

✶ DRACONIC GLORY ✶
[ * ARHRRGRGHJRGHRGH this is finally DOOOONEEEEE ]
[ * I've never done such rendering with this method before (painted it and picked the colors by hand in a layer above the sketch/lineart and base color layer) and it turned out SO SO WELL ]
[ * I also wanted to give it a touch of computer-screen-ish-look because that just adds so nicely ]
[ * Took 8 hours in total, drawn on Krita along with a Wacom Intuos S tablet ]
[ * Feels nice to draw my dragon kintype :} i haven't really done a fully-rendered drawing of myself in a while ]
[ * Also a small attempt at poetry... alterhuman poetry.... i don't really write poetry so apologies if it's wonky :P but i'm personally happy about it! ]

i think the greatest and most unfortunate parallel i see in the therian community that i also saw in the trans community is a certain level of identifying with the pain of species dysphoria instead of identifying with what makes you a therian. species dysphoria can fucking suck but it’s not required to be a therian, it’s never been required, it never will be, and even those who know this will still lash out at the idea that some of us find joy in also being human. i could never share my art with the world otherwise. i’m part of this badass species that builds upon technology and preserves knowledge from over a thousand years ago. we have an incredible wealth of culture and experience available to us and that’s fucking magical!!
grieve as much as you need to. grieve the fact that you’ll never quite have the life you want. if you experience this pain, it’s very real, and you need to process it. and at some point, on the other side of grief, you need to let go. let go of wishing for the life you’ll never have, and figure out what you can do with the one you’re living, to bring it more in line with your authentic animal self. don’t take this chance for granted. this body is capable of many wonderful things. i felt the same joy about being trans when i recognized that this experience gives me a unique perspective on the world—and i realized that, had i gone through a different puberty, been raised as the other binary gender, i still would’ve been trans. i would’ve gone on estrogen. i would’ve pushed myself through the black morass of grief, discovering along the way that i’m in charge of becoming who i want to be. i would’ve found joy.
your pain is not all that you are.

Writing about shifting since it’s late and I feel my paws but see only hands:
It starts with a tingle at the base of my spine; almost like a tug of something that’s supposed to be there but isn’t. Sometimes accompanied by a pang of loss- not right now; this feeling is my purpose.
There’s motion in it, like wiggling your toes with your eyes closed. Gravity affects it, swing your arms and let them drop and it will too. Resting on my back is comfortable enough but there’s something I wish was there like it has been/ should be.
I have it in my arms/hands too, like fur pressed to the skin I have now. Not like a jacket, like my arms should be bigger but aren’t. My hands aren’t small by human standards but they’re not big like they should be. They’re not full of fur and paw pads and huge claws that could hold me on a tree with ease; my purpose.
When this feeling goes to my face, it wrinkles my nose, it makes me curl my lips into a playful snarl. I wish the dull, square teeth I had would warp and sharpen. A full smile I can show off, truly myself.
I sometimes question whether I’d be happy being a bear without the human memories I’ve made; imagining the life I’m living right now melting away for the experience of fur and teeth and bark on my back, standing in a moving river as it turns my pelt sodden. I miss the life I didn’t get to have, but these wrinkles in time of feeling the paws that should be there and the snout I should have make it feel connected. My purpose is tied to me now in a beautiful way :)
