Transdynamics: A transition from a person’s assigned dynamic at presentation (secondary gender) to a different one that corresponds with their personal identity.
People who identify as transdyanmic, as opposed to transgender, typically feel as though their natural instincts align more with a different dynamic than the dynamic they presented as. For example, someone who identifies as AtO (Alpha to Omega) may feel more instincts revolving around nurturing their loved ones rather than protecting their territory.
Further, trandynamic individuals report high levels of dynamic dysphoria, disliking being referred to as their presented dynamic and feeling “wrong” when expected to perform tasks or act within the bounds of their presented gender. This can occur in pack settings, relationships, or even professional environments.
Transdynamic people do not often have gender dysphoria as seen in trangender individuals. Transdynamic individuals may identify as transdynamic and transgender.
Main Transdynamic Identities:
Adynamic: Not identifying with any specific dynamic.
Flag Meaning: The top red represents alpha, the second to top purple represents beta, the second to bottom blue represents omega, and the bottom white represents in-between or no dynamic.
Sound Treatment: Sound treatment is similar to voice therapy. It focuses on changing the sounds an individual can make to fit the dynamic they identify as. For example, a BtO individual may go to sound treatment to learn how to purr.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Trandynamic people take HRT, however, they typically take different hormones than transgender people. For example, transgender individuals take testosterone or estrogen, while transdynamic people take hormones that affect their pheromones and biological reactions (such as a biological reaction to a distressed pup) so they align more with the dynamic they identify as. Note, some transdynamic people take testosterone or estrogen as well so their body appears more like that of the dynamic they identify as.
Blockers/Suppressants: If a transdynamic individual cannot access HRT or is in the early stages of it, they will use blockers and/or suppressants to conceal their scent and pheromones. Blockers and suppressants are especially popular among adynamic individuals.
Ruts and heats are extremely difficult to change for transdynamic people. Suppressants work to stop heats and ruts, however, being able to have a heat if you are, for example, AtO takes a lot of different treatments working together. Along with HRT and specific medication used to prepare the body, a surgery must be undergone to actually change the body’s biological mating cycle. However, the surgery is extremely difficult on the body and is hard to get approved for. Further, the first 1 to 3 years of heats/ruts will be irregular and unpleasant with constant check ups needed.
Transdynamic individuals are less accepted than transgender individuals in omegaverse society. This is because primary gender (male, female, other) is not as important to the core of society as secondary gender. Some people view transdynamic individuals as people actively going against their role in society and what they were made for.
However, there are many transdynamic activists who are working to change transdynamic laws and raise awareness.
