“Species Dysphoria” (2021)

I’ve been waiting to post this one for a little while now! This comic was made for the Inky Paws Zine, a collaborative fiction zine created by nonhumans and alterhumans!

In hindsight, I should’ve probably leaned a little bit more into making this a fictional piece to better fit the zine’s theme...nevertheless, I’m still happy with it! This was something I created to try and articulate some of my personal feelings about my species dysphoria through the lens of someone who’s also trans, and maybe feels that those two identities are really the same.

My friends are so supportive to the point where its funny. I looked at one of my friends and said "I want paws." They looked right back at me and went "You're a druid, grow some."

You might not be able to see them, but my ears perk up when you call my name - my tail anxiously swings side to side while i’m waiting for something, and my wings stretch out and ache when I gaze at the sky.

You can’t see them, but you can feel them, can’t you?

I can feel them for both of us.

while technically i can shapeshift into anything i want, for me being a shapeshifter means shifting into different "versions" of myself.

some versions have kind eyes. some versions possess a vicious grin to frighten away the things that frighten you. sometimes i have six arms. my face can change from warm and inviting to terrifying in an instant. i am a living funhouse mirror.

i don't know. i'm too many things, too much for this human body.

I wasn't sure whether I wanted to write about my gender a bit, or write a full fledged entry for the nonhuman gender zine. For now, here's some thoughts from a shapeshifter.

As a child I never questioned my gender, I just went with what was given to me and that didn't feel so wrong at all. It wasn't until I was in my late 20s/early 30s, while in this community, that I learned about gender. How many genders there are, neopronouns, about gender identity. Quickly I found myself in this gender community too, relating to a lot of it but never considering myself transgender.

At first, I used agender female to describe myself, even if it seemed to confuse some people. I felt like my true self, separate from the vessel, was agender, and that I just happened to live in a female body. After finding out I am a polymorph and my true form is a genderless glittering ball of light and void, I found the term agender even more fitting.

As a shapeshifter though, whatever form I take isn't truly me, and I can take the form of human's binary genders but also the form of any species with genders outside our binary. As I went through different genders feeling right to me, I tried on genderfae and genderfluid labels.

You don't really see my fluidity in gender on the outside, I just wear what I am comfortable in and always present as a woman within this vessel.

Technically you could say I am genderfluid as I can appear as any gender, but to me being agender feels more right as that is what I truly am underneath. No matter the shape I take, my true self is that.

I really love starself pronouns, they make me so happy, but in dreams I use the pronouns of whatever my body is at the time, and irl I use she/her pronouns as that is how my vessel presents. This doesn't give me dysphoria, but it's just that there is much more to me, and most people who see me will never know.

I don't feel dysphoria when I am phantom and mental shifted as something that is male, I just wish I could shapeshift my vessel to fit what I am feeling on the inside. So far, only very few of my shifts consist of masculine genders, female is still the most common, and then there is the many wonderful genders I have glimpsed the comfort of as I take different forms.

It is still a journey for me to accept my own gender feelings more and be more open about them. Especially the freedom in this vessel to share how I am feeling, and maybe the confidence to not always have to present female.

Different Branches of Therianthropy/ Otherkinity

So I just spent an hour researching different branches of otherkinity/therianthropy, here's what I learned and how I can describe it best (please don't get mad if I fucked something up, just tell me and I'll fix it)

Cladotherian: May identity as one type of animal but doesn't identity with one species of that animal, and instead identifies with all or none at all. Example: Identifies as a wolf but not a specific type, but rather all of them.

Contherian: Someone who doesn't experience mental shifts but is in a constant state of balance of their kintype and humanity and it doesn't fluctuate. They are constantly around half human and half animal and that's integrated into them.

Suntherian/Syntherian: Very similar to a contherian, however it's not always an exact balance and instead at one point they can be more animal than human and vice versa they also may experience mental shifts.

Copingkin: Identifying as something, involuntarily, to cope with something.

Copinglink: Identifying as a fictional character knowingly and willingly to cope with something.

Otherhearted: Feeling an insanely strong connection with an animal to the point where you fully understand and relate to it but you do not identify as it but rather identify with it.

Kinfluid: By itself (polykinity not being involved) fluid feelings of humanity and your alterhumanity coming in waves almost

Polytherian: someone who identifies with more than one species of animal Example: Identifying as a domestic cat, leopard gecko, and arctic fox. (Although two is enough to identify as polytherian)

Shapeshifterkin: someone who has a kintype that's constantly shifting but also prominent and can identify as it

Polymorphkin: someone who doesn't fully identity as any one kintype and they may have a kintype that is more prominent but for them it can change at anytime and for anything they may connect with it can be in completely different ways

You are seen as the monster, the very threat to the ones holding on so tightly to their humanity.

They have scarred you and left you to the woods.

But instead of seeking their blood laced along your teeth.

You choose to simply disappear to a place more accepting of the wicked and feral.

That feeling of finally getting to be "weird" and "cringe" freely online because it is almost 100% anonymous and I just love it. Makes me wanna run around in a circle like a happy dog

a shapeshifter with a number of different forms only to be bound to a single human body for the rest of my days... tragic.

...

NOW RELEASE ME FROM MY SKIN CLOTHES.

✨about me✨

i thought i should make an introduction post telling you guys about who i am/was so here is some information about me :)

currently i am a 18 year old human but i used to be a fae god of animals (particularly "unwanted" animals [ex rats, mice, snakes, opossums]), music, theater, abandoned places, the fall and spring, androgyny, and anything whimsical and fun. i was a shapeshifting fae who could change into any animal, i could also shift what age i looked. The animal i shifted to the most was a wolfdog so i also identity as wolfdogkin.

i was not a very commonly worshipped god but my followers were very loyal and devoted, because i was a god of unwanted animals and abandoned places i tended to attract people who felt unwanted or abandoned. some of the offerings i was often given were sweets, perfume, pretty rocks, jewelry, bells, raw meat, and people would also perform for me (songs or plays and stuff like that).

unfortunately i haven't remembered my past name yet, but in the meantime feel free to call me Faegan.

:)

Do any other nonhumans with complex and specific identities feel weird and confused about it?

I identify with a lot of individual terms like changelingkin, alienkin, androidkin, and I identify with different concepts or places like the forest, the rain and water, cryptids, and just generally being animalistic in different ways. It would be so much easier and make more sense if I was just polykin, but none of these individual identities are without being synthetic/robotic. I do not feel like a changeling without feeling synthetic. I do not feel connection to the forest and nature without myself being synthetic. I do not feel like multiple different animals/a shape-shifter without feeling synthetic. It all connects, there's no separation. I am a weird, complex robot of sorts, like an amalgamation. A random experiment of parts and things from another world put together just to see what would happen.

It's all so weirdly specific, and it doesn't feel like I 100% belong even in the alterhuman/nonhuman community. I feel like everything all at once and yet it makes me feel alone and confused
