not like that's super important, but bc this blog is essentially my online alterhuman diary, I'll share this anyway!

I haven't been posting much bc I've been questioning my identity lately, in a lot of ways, and I don't want to keep calling attention to myself before setting things straight (otherwise I'll just feel like I'm constantly misrepresenting myself)

I've been carefully evaluating how I feel about certain labels and even claiming certain types, and I'm looking forward to sharing it! but I need to organize myself first

I'll set some posts as private, edit, or delete others. if links are wonky or info seems to be missing, that's why! to anyone reading this, thanks for your audience and for taking part in this community I enjoy so much :•3

is there a term for when you legit don't know if you're physically human?

[reticentlycan]

"What if I'm wrong about my species/type?" So what if you are? What's wrong with growth? Change? Realizing who you truly are? Do not be afraid to discover another side to yourself.

fictionkinnity is so funny because half of the characters I identify as have nothing to do with me in the slightest

polite honest boy with a kind mother identifies as a mischievous troublemaker cat girl with mommy issues. sure, go on

Kitty in the way that I’ll curl up in your lap so you can’t move, kitty in the way that I’ll knock stuff off tables, kitty in the way that I’m an adorable nuisance

Goddamn does it really upset me that there is basically zero scientific research into species dysphoria. I literally have to deal with the shear agony of the fact that I’m trapped in a body of a species that isn’t me beyond the physical, and I’m expected to just be chill that there is no proven way to treat it? It’s just so frustrating.

humanfluidity is so confusing because sometimes I'm like: "I'm no such things as a 'human who identifies as a cat'. I'm just a really weirdly shaped cat. I was definitely born a fairy. this is my disguise. once I figure out how to shapeshift, it's over for you all." And other times it's like "uuhhh idk I'm a therian"

my more subtle cat gear :•3

bell necklace and pawpad nails 🐈

I wear the bell literally all the time, and I feel so much more like myself!

someone said I stretch like a cat, yippee !!!

[mossyforestfox]

I feel like being able to shapeshift would fix most of my problems

[feralcoy]

I don't want to assume too quickly but I think two of my college friends might be therians or kemonomimi! I'm so excited 💔

[feralcoy]

one of them is going to sell animal ears there, I'll definitely get them as soon as they're ready !!!

Turth is: I'm deeply, DEEPLY, jealous of people who claim to have p-shifted. I think part of me, to an extent, believes it to be real, or at least deeply wishes it were. I'd LOVE to change into a wolf, but I just can't. And I'm jealous of those who claim they have.

I tried and tried and TRIED from ages 12-17, even after I cut ties with the cesspool that is the shifter/mythical community. Ive tried to hard but everything that I had thought was a p-shift was only ever an intense phantom shift. Sometimes with dreams added in them, which made it feel real.

I'd give ANYTHING to be able to change my body as I pleased, to not live my life trapped in a body that doesn't look how my soul does. I'd give anything to have my paws, my tail, my REAL face.

But I can't. I just can't because that's not how physics and science works, no matter how much I want it to. It sucks because I Know I'm a werewolf, a lycanthrope, but I cannot shape shift. I cannot have the one thing that makes a werewolf what it is. The fact I consider myself to be a werewolf/lycanthrope makes me too much of a physical alterhuman for therian spaces, but my lack of belief in, and criticism of, shit like mythicals or shifters makes me too non-physical to be in the physical alterhuman category. Maybe, MAYBE, Holothere, but I'm still heavily critical of the term and community surrounding it.

[feralcoy]

I consider myself physically nonhuman and quite open to p-shifting, but I must admit I relate so much to the jealousy part 💔

I'm literally supposed to be a shapeshifter, but just like you, it just doesn't work for me, and it makes me so upset. I desperately wish to be myself, but it seems there's nothing I can do, not to mention the risk of stumbling upon ill intentioned folks (p-shifting cults, for example) in search of a "solution", if there even is any

lots of shifters say they have been born this way, and if that's true, then I just have to accept that I'm not one and be species dysphoric forever
