Reblog if you're not human

Isogender just means you are not cisgender or transgender and that those labels do not fit for you :)

@small-bug-in-the-woods

gender update !!

Ive always been confused about my gender moreso when it comes to being cis or trans. I've never felt transgender, I've just been. So I assumed cis would work but it never really felt right either but due to some research I think I'm isogender ^-^ so I'm still just a man but if someone asks if im trans or cis I have a better way to describe it then just saying cis

very excited

Beings keep forgetting what alterhumanity is about (from what I've seen) in and outside the community so here's a reminder

Under a cut because it's long

Alterhumanity is about being partially non-human

Alterhumanity is about being fully non-human

Alterhumanity is about being human but with a connection to non-human things/being non-human

Alterhumanity is not a cookie cutter design and each one is different. And not just species wise

Alterhumanity is not about wearing/owning/making gear of any kind

Alterhumanity is about accepting 'delusional' or 'crazy' alterhumans

Alterhumanity is about community and Beng brought together

Alterhumanity is about love and compassion

Alterhumanity is about creativity

Alterhumanity is not about quadrobics

Alterhumanity is about acceptance

Alterhumanity is not something all need to be proud or open about

Alterhumanity is about accepting 'weird' species

are there any nonhuman who are their species due to trauma with that species? I know of those who are their species caused by a trauma response but for example, a dogkin because they had been bitten by a dog

no one has to share due to trauma being a personal experience, but if anyone would like too I am very curious and would like to learn more!

no, you don’t need to wear your mask/tail to school.

i wish young nonhumans didn’t feel compelled to be ‘out’ at school, especially when it’s a dangerous environment. i keep seeing posts along the lines of “wore my tail/mask to school! people berated/teased/put their hands on me, but it’s ok”.

no, it’s not.

like.. i understand a mask or a tail can be a very validating thing for some people. and i’m not saying NO ONE should wear them at schools. but i just keep watching this mounting trend of young therians insinuating you need some physical accessory or to do quads to be a ‘real’ nonhuman. and then it leads to things like this and it makes me incredibly sad.

i’d known i was alterhuman since late elementary school, actually. it’s a huge part of my life even now, years after graduation. there wasn’t a reason for it to be brought up, so i never did. it was a closely guarded secret to me, but it didn’t feel like a weight i was carrying. i always thought “no one needs to know i’m an animal if it jeopardizes my safety. so, oh well”.

“but, how will people know that i’m an animal?”

they probably will. they probably already do.

i was the designated ‘animal’ person my entire school career despite not ever handling animals in front of anyone. if there were pets, lost wild animals (baby rabbits, birds, lizards), or sometimes even loose livestock that got onto campus, it was always me who had to go tend to them.

everyone wanted me in their group in environmental science. if a project called for animal illustrations, the same thing would happen. it was certainly weird because i was also a ‘weird kid’ and not especially desired to be around outside of that, lol. but i was never harassed for it. it made me feel very validated, actually.

i had fun during gym running and fiercely destroying the opposing team in field hockey. i taught everyone which plants were okay to forage (and we snacked on them when we had to sit on the lower field for practice). every day i was hyperaware of the limbs i had that weren’t quite there. friends noticed my ears twitch and my nose wiggle at certain stimuli. i felt nice walking on two legs. i felt nice because i felt animal and i didn’t have to prove it to anyone.

really like… just do what makes you happy. i admire the bravery it takes to so earnestly wear your identity on your sleeve like that. that’s very impressive. however, there is NO obligation to do anything like that if you understand that there will be a reaction that poses a threat to you.

i want our kids to be safe, too. you don’t have to feel dysphoria over being discreet. sometimes it’s the safest option. and sometimes, that can be really fun, too.

study everything you can about your ‘type. wikipedia and animalia are good resources. ramble about them to anyone who will listen. jokingly refer to yourself as one in friend spaces. wear discreet clothes that remind you of your ‘type. find a nice private place outside where you can run and explore and look at plants and smell the air and feel like yourself. but by no means do you have to prove yourself. you know you.
