"your nonhuman identity is real because you say it is"
and
"your nonhuman identity is still with you even when you're having doubts or even downright disbelieving it"
are statements that can and should coexist.

I can make post after post after post explaining WHAT dinosaurs are and HOW birds are living dinosaurs as CLEARLY as I can and point to FREE RESOURCES for people to learn more and yet I *STILL* get ignorant CRAP like this filling my notes EVERY DAMN DAY
dinosaur means a descendant of the most recent common ancestor of Megalosaurus and Iguanodon. "terrible REPTILE" is what we named them because HUMANS NAME THINGS.
birds descended from that ancestor. thus, they are dinosaurs.
neither dinosaurs NOR birds are lizards. lizards are their OWN DAMN HYPERADAPTED THING that are super weird and nothing like birds or dinosaurs.
i am a PALEONTOLOGIST and it SAYS SO IN MY BIO so CLEARLY I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT
you can also GOOGLE THIS. AND GOOGLE WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING.
like, let's put it this way:
I have known, my entire life, a particular truth about the world. The majority of evidence has continued to support that truth, throughout my 30 years of life.
And yet, every five seconds, I get a million people telling me, with their whole chests, that I am wrong, even though, I am not.
What I'm saying is I'm constantly getting the same effect as gaslighting by pretty much all of humanity apart from my comrades in arms and that has, in fact, contributed to my mental health issues.
This is not okay. Willful ignorance is not okay. We all need to be more okay with admitting we don't know things and looking them up. I don't know *lots* of things. And that's okay! I look them up! I learn!
Be okay with being wrong! Be okay with learning!
Stop doing this to scientists! We're really tired and really scared bc the planet is on fire and no one is listening! Thanks!

if we keep doing uwu soft little vampire and big strong dumb werewolf how are we going to ever break out of gender binary
if i see 1 more artist make the masculine/larger/stronger human partner into the werewolf im going to freak out
lycanthropy is about losing yourself. please i am begging you to make someone random, someone unequipped, into a werewolf. please. small scrawny werewolves who are weak and scared, feminine werewolves, werewolves who struggle with the idea of taking something's life (even another animal for food) werewolves who refuse to get dirty because they're averse. werewolves need more than 1 mental illness yall
its kind of a joke at the beginning but not really. make an insane jacked vampire and her petite femme werewife with braided patterned fur or something; make the vampire a seamstress who wont quit until her werewife has the perfect fitting dress for her new furry body. stop with the "oh this character is butch/masc, CLEARLY they would make a good werewolf" shut uuuuupp be a LITTLE more creative. come on!!! do you really think every single werewolf has a premium gym membership? quit drawing them like it !!!
