Upcoming Survey
I intend to launch a survey soon about the impact of nonhuman identity on gendered concept of self. In other words, how being in some way and to some degree nonhuman affects your gender identity. This particular survey will be for those whose nonhuman identity would fit loosely into the kingdom Animalia if one applied to it the same taxonomic categorization applied to earthly beings. Basically what that means is that if you identify as a humanoid or animal, whether extant or extinct, earthly or not, mythological or folkloric or fictional, this survey is for you.
This survey will NOT cover identities such as objects or plants, among others. Not because I wish to exclude anyone or because I feel the experiences of plantkin, placekin, objectkin, and so on aren't important or valid, but simply because I needed to narrow the scope in order to actually be able to write the article I'm working on with this data. However, I do plan to run surveys in the future about gender and kintypes that aren't animals (in the broadest possible meaning of that word). So you will be counted! I just need to be able to organize.
I'm planning to launch that on May 1st. I have it almost ready, I'm just finishing up a couple of last things. It will run for 12 months once it is launched in order to give folks a chance to find it. I plan on pretty much any survey I run being open for 12 months. It will be a Google form. It should let you complete it more than once, to account for systems. Individual system members who are nonhuman or alterhuman are welcome and encourage to complete the survey.
Anyway, that should be up on May 1st!

I'm so... I'm so confused...
Someone just went off at me in a comment, not on here, for using "delusion/s/al" and "mentally ill" in my info-graph about how physical identifying nonhumans/alterhumans exist and have been a part of these communities since the beginning, telling me that they are, and I quote...
"slurs created by doctors and therapists to demonize and strip agency from anyone whom they deem “not normal”."
Like... what???
I can't...
please someone try and explain to me what the fuck is going on here???
full comment under the read more

Had a dream that Tumblr added an “audio atmosphere” effect to everyone’s account
So if you looked at someone’s blog, it would have an ambient sound to match the vibe of their blog aesthetic
Alterhumans ate this up and added sounds of their habitats/hearthome to their blog overnight

Therians who mock Therians (young or old) for wearing gear are stupid. I saw a post of an adult Therian mocking two CHILDREN (aprox 11-12) for wearing tails and masks.
The Therian community is already hated enough, for someone to think they are better than another Therian for expressing their Therianthropy differently is moronic.
They also remarked them being “tiktok” therians and “fake” for it. Seriously what the fuck. People like this bristle my fur so much, just no. No.
This goes out to all the Newly awakens. If you wear gear, you are no less or more than a Therian who doesn’t. That goes for the opposite as well. Express your identity however you wish, stay safe out there <3

y'all need to realize that people's identity doesn't harm you, like bro who cares if someone named bug, who uses cat/it pronouns, identifies as a fox and has xenogenders? like it's not harming you is it? let people live their life, if they are happy and they're not harming anyone or themselves, who the hell cares?

Static image version of a previously posted video. All images are ALT text, but I shall also paste the text here:
COMMUNITY PSA: A reminder that those who identify physically as nonhuman are welcome and have always, and will always, be a part of the therian, alterhuman, nonhuman, otherkin, and similar communities, and can use ANY of these labels.
Whether their reason for identifying this way is spiritual, due to delusions, trauma, mental health, conditions such as lycanthropy or zoanthropy or is similar to the notion of "this is my body, and I am nonhuman, therefore my body is nonhuman" is their business and theirs alone.
People outside of the communities will always find a way to dislike us, and trying to cater to them by putting down other members of these groups will never make them fully accept us. Playing into the "Us vs Them" mindset only pushes the community apart.
All I hear when I see videos and comments from fellow therians, nonhumans, otherkin and alterhumans talking about these identities being ONLY non-physical is, "well, we OBVIOUSLY don't identify physically as animals/etc. We're not like those CRAZY people!"
Which is not only ableist but paints those who do identify physically in a bad light, whatever their reason may be. Delusions and mental illnesses that may cause them does not mean the identity of that individual is fake or wrong. So treat others nicely, even if you may not understand.
Not only that but delusions and the mental illnesses that cause them do not always equate to distressing or bad. Unlearn the idea that such things are an indicator of something being wrong and so has to be fixed because that mindset hurts many who live unbothered lives with them.
All of my accounts will always be safe spaces for those who have physical nonhuman and alterhuman identities. Just as they will be a safe space for those whose identity is non-physical. The only one who can decide what and who you are is yourself.
Stay true to yourself! Ignore, report and block the haters! Your happiness is more important than their ideas of you!

Just saw a tiktok video...
Tumblr media
They're basically ostracizing a HUGE portion of the therian community by implying it should only be spiritual
Psychological therians exist, and if that's so confusing to you...oh dear.
