Same anon here, I'm not sure if proxykin is usually made for proxies... or if it does apply to the experience that I feel...

I identify myself as an eastern dragon primarily because of kinning the concept of wisdom and knowledge... so yeah... I'm still trying to find one..

I personally feel it would theoretically apply to this as well, but of course we don't experience the same things as you, Anon! I hope you can find a term that suits your experiences! If not, do remember that it's always alright to go unlabeled!

[munch-bunch]

Same anon here, the intention here is to identify as a mythical animal not because that they're connected to mythologies but rather that they're connected to a specific concept. I'm not sure on how to explain it well... but here is an example:

A person identifies as a phoenix therian because they also kin the concept of freedom, passion and anything related to it.

Ah, in that case, one of my friends online came up with a term for that!

He came up with the term "proxykin," here's an example he usually gives! "I kin c!Tommyinnit, and since c!Tommyinnit and Custard Cookie III are the same (to me), I also kin Custard Cookie III."

Hope this helps!

[munch-bunch]

Could I request a term that is a combination of being a mythical animal therian and conceptkin at the same time? I'm not sure if Munch have ever done this before...

Hmm,, we've only ever come up with terms once or twice, but mayhaps mythonoia?

Therianthrope comes from the ancient Greek words for animal and man (therion (θηρίον) and anthropos (ἄνθρωπος) respectively), so following that structure (and the same one we used for mycetenthrope and the other terms coined by us), mythonoia sounds nice???

mythonoia - mythos (μῦθος - myth/mythos), eunoia (ἔννοια - thought, idea, or concept)

I'm very curious about the intention behind this term! Would the definition be "to involuntarily identify as the concept of a mythical creature?" Do tell, do tell!!

Feel free to credit us if so desired, but it is not mandatory!

GAH??

Who are you....I would like to be your friend too :(

Thanks For Reading!

Lmao

not checking our strawpage often is such a blessing

[munch-bunch]

This is a great question ! We don't like you / your( s ) being used on us because:

A) We just prefer seeing / hearing our preferred name ( s ) and pronouns being used on us !

B) We're collectively an alterhuman , and seeing / hearing you/your ( s ) being used on us often gives us species dysphoria !

[munch-bunch]

Coined some terms :)

They're in this Google doc :3

[munch-bunch]

blehh here's the full piece from our banner :3

[munch-bunch]

Hey, just so you know alterhuman as a term is specifically endogenic inclusive and has been since it's coining. If you do not want to engage with endos I suggest neutral tags like therian/nonhuman/otherkin/etc.

Thanks for letting us know, but we will continue to use alterhuman! It's really the only term (that we're aware of) that encompasses all of those things aside from nonhuman.

Some (but not all) of us use nonhuman, and we generally consider it to be different than alterhuman.

We have and will continue to add tags such as "anti endo" and "endos dni," as that is one of our boundaries and we don't foresee it changing at any point in the future.

A system is a collection of alters. Alters are chronically dissociated self states, with different neurological pathways that often are accompanied by a varying degree of amnesia. Dissociation is caused by stress/trauma. Alters are a byproduct of dissociating from trauma. You can’t dissociate from trauma you do not have. You cannot dissociate without trauma. You cannot have alters without trauma. You cannot have a system without alters.

You cannot be a system without trauma.

Do you have to know about the trauma ? No. Does it have to be a certain type of trauma ? No. Does it need to be a certain severity ? No. It just needs to have occurred during critical developmental period of the brain. Before the ego states have stitched together, it must be chronic, and beyond the child’s stress threshold, otherwise it will not disrupt the developmental growth. This is different for everyone. The reason trauma cannot be listed as a diagnostic criteria, is because there is no “xyz trauma that causes dissociative disorders”. It’s completely unique to each person suffering from the disorder. And in often cases, the person suffering from the disorder isn’t aware of their trauma. That’s the point of the disorder. This does not mean you don’t need trauma to suffer from a dissociative disorder. Systems are byproducts of dissociative disorders, you cannot be a byproduct of a disorder you do not have.

Endos are not systems. What do I mean by this? I mean that, by definition, that term is not suited for them, and is not meant to describe them. Just like kinning doesn’t mean you’re a system, just like roleplaying doesn’t mean you’re a system, just like religious practises such as tulpamancy isn’t a system. You are perfectly free to do whatever you please, truly. But do not compare it to being a system. You do not share our experiences. You are a different community entirely, and that’s ok.

But please, for the love of god, stop invading our community, and stop spreading misinformation about an already stigmatised and misunderstood disorder.

I understand if you didn’t know better. But please, educate yourself, and stop spreading this misinformation. Being a system isn’t an identity. It’s not a label. And please, stop comparing it to being queer. This is a mental illness. Being queer is not a mental illness.
