《alterhuman identities are valid asf》
as of January, 2024: officially identify as therian: domestic black cat [theriotype/pet space], otherkin: magic (cladokin style) kintype, and kith: wolf & fox. I own some black cat therian gear and nonwearable kith gear. I also own some magic kin gear. =^w^=
questioning a new theriotype: wolf, fox, both, or something similar
Something that helps me feel more shifty is wearing my gear, of course, but then walking/running and seeing it in my shadow, blending the two into one being in my outline.
The purpose of this survey is to collect data about the experiences of people who feel sensations of nonhuman body parts, for example, wings or a tail. Some call these supernumerary phantom limbs, phantom shifts, otherlimbs, or astral limbs, though you may have other preferences for the words you use for your own experiences. If you haven't had those experiences, you can participate in this survey too. This survey was made for people who call themselves otherkin, therianthrope, furry, or any other potentially alterhuman or nonhuman identity. If you don't describe yourself with any of those words, you can participate in this survey too.
The survey will take you about 6 to 15 minutes. Everyone age 18 and up is welcome to fill out the survey at the below link, until it closes on July 6, 2024:

Who is running this survey and why: The person running this survey is Orion Scribner (they/them), an otherkin/therianthrope who has been making projects about these communities since 2005. I will use the results in my panel at an Internet-based convention later this year (OtherCon 2024), and in other future research projects.
Heheh I mingle with the furries because most other humans are difficult.
Kinda nonhuman because mental illness, kinda nonhuman because not being properly socialized as a kid, kinda nonhuman because queer, kinda nonhuman because angry at humanity, kinda nonhuman because longing for the unconditional love of a pet and it’s master, and kinda nonhuman because secret sixth thing.
So I've been told that both can be true, but if it is soley developmental factors that made it, there are other alterhuman terms that can explain that.
Developmental factors can feed into what was already there.
My envisage shifts are so common for me that before I found the term, I kept questioning if it was aurashifts but that never felt quite right to describe it. I'm so happy I found the term envisage shift to describe my experience because it is an accurate term for it.

I think the idea that you were born a therian is a limiting theory. I know you cannot choose to be a therian. From psychological theories, you may have developed your therianthropy through childhood based on animals that are/were in your area, animals you liked growing up, or even your own pets and that was after your birth & due to environmental factors.
as of April, 2024: officially identify as therian [theriotype/pet space is black cat], otherkin: magic (cladokin style) kintype, and kith: wolf & fox. I own some black cat therian gear and well as nonwearable kith gear. I also own some magic kin unofficial gear. =^w^=
Questioning a new theriotype: fox, wolf, both or something similar.
For me it was the furry fandom through TikTok explaining the differences and seeing some people who identify as both. Then I attended a few therian meditations at a furcon and have found that I am a therian & otherkin.
I'm hella gonna explore this pipeline of theriotype discovery
I wonder if I am wolf kin or dog kin or if my cat therian self is just a cat who grew up with canines so I have some canine elements ahile being completely a cat theriotype?
I do feel a big connection to wolves and like to howl/bark sometimes & have been drawn towards media with wolves in it. Maybe I am wolf kin being awakened? Idk
It's not as obvious as my cat therian/pet space self so eh
