I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.

Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.

Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.

It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.

something I’ve rarely but have unfortunately seen in the community is people complaining and even annoyed about the ‘inaccuracies’ of some people’s kintypes? I understand that often an interest or special interest in a specific animal will accompany therianthropy, but it wasn’t something I expected to see from this community

so let me say this: you are NOT less valid if your kintype is not ‘scientifically accurate’.

if you are a bird or a bat, so what if your wings are on your back?

if you are an unnatural colour, so what if your animal isn’t typically bright pink or green or blue with yellow stripes?

so what if you crave meat in your shifts as a herbivore kintype?

so what if you have markings or patterns than wouldn’t appear in nature?

you are the coolest guy around !! 🦇

shoutout to chronically ill therians who can't do a lot of things that other critters can even though they're the same creature.

shoutout to fat therians who struggle to do quads.

shoutout to mute therians who can't bark, meow, whinny, growl, yip or make any other sound to do with who they are.

shoutout to deaf therians with theriotypes that are known for their amazing hearing.

shoutout to aquatic therians that can't swim, whether it be due to a fear, disability, or anything else.

shoutout to therians that don't quite know which animal they are yet, it's okay. you have all the time in the world.

shoutout to therians who don't have friends or a pack to rely on. you'll find your folks.

shoutout to therians who aren't white and feel isolated in the community because of that.

shoutout to therians who don't have the time or resources to fully be themselves yet.

shoutout therians who struggle to accept themselves as their type just because they're not a "popular" animal to see around.

shoutout to therians who are the complete opposite to that last part, no matter how common or uncommon your type is, it's still okay. you're still you and that is lovely.

shoutout to ALL therians. you are all important and wonderful, if you don't believe it then i sure do. i love you all.

don't be afraid. cut off all your hair and dye it pink with bright orange flames painted on it. wear that headband with the fluffy cat ears. hook that fox tail to your belt and wear it to your favorite coffee shop. get the tattoo. wear the mood ring. ring your eyes with black eyeliner the way your mom told you looked bad. do it to piss her off, but do it for yourself, too. howl at the strawberry moon. befriend the monster under your bed.

you don't know if there's a life after this one, and that's part of what gives this life its value. don't waste it hiding your light.

"don't trigger your own shifts, it's wrong" "you can't be a therian if you don't experience shifts"

"oh, you can't to this" "oh, you can't do that"

"you can't

"you can't"

"you can't"

Do whatever you like. Let everyone do whatever they like. The non-human community should be about this, to be about being your most free and authentic self. And if the most free and authentic self of someone doesn't fit your cookie cutter, and doesn't hurt anyone, who cares??

Let's be a community, like we're supposed to be.

Let's not exclude people, who don't do anything wrong, but experience their own reality.

I’ve been seeing a lot of tiktoks lately about ‘fake therians choosing their theriotype’

But we shouldn’t jump to conclusions with everyone.

You might see a MLP fan say they’re a pony therian.

You might see a furry who’s theriotype is the same animal as their fursona.

You might see someone with the very common wolf theriotype.

To use myself as an example, you might see an autistic with a special interest of the lion king be a lion therian.

Some see these types of therians and think ‘they’re not a real therian, they just have a favourite animal.’

But to me, my lifelong attachment to lions was the most telling sign that I am one.

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to delusions

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to autism

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to a personality disorder

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to a physical disability

I love therians who are physically nonhuman due to trauma

I love all therians who are physically nonhuman for any reason whatsoever

Just because your experience of nonhumanity is less widely discussed or considered harmful or considered ‘problematic’ does not make your therianthropy less valid 🖤

Reasons someone may identify as alterhuman/otherkin:

They believe they are spiritually anchored to their 'kintype

They believe they have been reincarnated and were their 'kintype in a past life

They feel like they are a part of their 'kintype in a familial way

They feel as if part of their soul is their 'kintype

They have been dehumanized in the past and now their 'kintype has attached to their identity

They have non-human system members/headmates

Their neurodivergence causes them to associate themselves with their 'kintype

They experience clinical lycanthropy

They find peace when they ID as their 'kintype

All of these are valid and important parts of our community. Spiritual and psychological alterhumans are important and the reasons for your identity as alterhuman are often complex! They are equally welcome here. :)

Just like-

I see a lot of negative posts about therians that do quads

And I wanna be here to say- while you don't need to do quads to be a therian

If doing quads is an important part of connecting to your Theriotype or even if not

You are valid and I see you

Cringe culture NEEDS to die

'Weird' Tik Tok Therians are Valid and loved

Therians that like to wear gear are Valid and Loved

Therians that don't make it apparent that they are Therian are Valid and Loved

No one gets to tell you that your are real or fake

And if someone is faking- who the fuck honestly cares- oh well- they're taking time out of their day doing something they don't connect with - and no one else gets to tell another person they are experiencing therianthropy correctly or not

Everyone has different experiences

Someone seeming like they 'chose' their Theriotype may honestly just be in the early stages of self discovery

We as a community need to stop telling other people what is the wrong and right way to be themselves.

Less focusing on hurting others- more doing what means the most to you 💜

A message to polytherians.

If you find yourself thinking, "I wish I could just have one theriotype." This is a TRAP. And I'll tell you why but first there are two things I want you to do following this thought.

1. Ask yourself. And really think about it. You want to be a monotherian? If you were a monotherian, what would you want your theriotype to be? You kinda get stuck, right? You kinda feel like all of your theriotypes are you and it's easier said than done to just choose one you'd want to keep? It's not so easy to say, "yeah, I think I'd rip this and this identity from who I am as a person. If I had the opportunity." I've been down this road. You cannot just choose one because you are not one.

2. Now ask yourself. And really think about it. Why do you want this? Let me put it this way. If you were the only therian on Earth, you would still be polytherian, right? And what would you want then? Me, I think I'd just want to be myself, and not in a million years would I be preoccupied with whether I'd get taken more seriously if only I was just a grey wolf.

You are what you are. You cannot choose. I used to waste my time with hypotheticals where I was only one species. But the truth is these have as much of a point as hypotheticals where I'm a French Canadian contractor in the 1980s named Stephan. My species is who I am. There is no reality where I am only one.

There is beauty in polytherianthropy. You contain multitudes! Most living things on Earth are only one species. You're several! Isn't that absurd and wondrous? You are like a quilt. There's probably nothing else in the universe quite like you. Rejoice in it!

#therian #alterhuman #polytherian #therian positivity #''monotherian'' here is of course not meant to be derogatory. it is simply what the word would be if there was need for one which there was #all therian identities are the true therian identity
