You can still be mad about dehumanisation even if you're nonhuman/alterhuman.

I feel like discrimination against otherkin (and, let’s be fair, any non-therian alterhumans) is WAY too fucking normalised in alterhuman communities.

I just mentionned in an alterhuman serv that I was questionning a songkin/fictionkin identity and people reacted like "Is that possible ?" That one is okay, it’s okay not to know, just annoying people in alterhuman communities for months or years don’t know anything except therian.

Other people were like "Oh that’s too complicated… in my time we only had therians and mythical creatures" or even "It doesn’t feel right to me that people identify as something that’s not real". Thanks ya pals now I don’t even feel safe in my own goddamn communities. Sure y’all liked us better when the host was just a fox therian. I won’t miraculously stop identifying as something because it’s not is the teeny tiny window of what you consider palatable.

Hey therians. Unfriendly reminder that your communities were built by otherkins. Werewolves and fairies and elves and aliens. Seems like some of you forgot that. Now these people feel as alienated with you as they are with humans.

Non-therians have it hard. I’ve been fakeclaimed by folks because "You can’t be something that doesn’t exist". I can’t find safe spaces, have to explain what I am half the time (honestly that one is not a problem since I’m a yapper), feeling constantly left on the side. People use animal-centric language because sure if you’re not human you’re an animal. A living animal- a mammal - a carnivore - let’s say it, a dog. Just I’m not a homo sapiens doesn’t mean I have paws and a snout. We can’t find euphoria tips, gears, we’re constantly forgotten. These are the same for therians with rare theriotypes, monkeys, herbivores, invertebrates, birds.

Otherkins and fictionkins and therians with rare theriotypes have it hard, but don’t get me started on factkin, conceptkin, otherhearted, songkin, plantkin, objectkin. CONSTANTLY FUCKING EXCLUDED. It’s therian this and therian that and sometimes otherkin and the rest is forgotten.

Ok don’t get me wrong. I love my therian brothers and sisters and sibling and friends and elders.

But if y’all therians really care for your non-therian pals you’d better show it right now.

We don’t feel safe or understood in the spaces ya built.

If I had a sci-fi spaceship I would have some wild earth-shattering homosexual romance with the ship's supercomputer

Here's a fun (and free) tip for the creatures who can't figure out what they are:

Step One: First, you need Pinterest (or a similar app, even Google can work). You type in anything you generally like or feel comforted by. This can be a color, an animal, the sky, a character, literally anything.

Step Two: You're gonna scroll around until you find something that hits you in the heart, even just a little bit. A really beautiful sky picture or maybe a drawing you cannot scroll away from for seemingly no reason. You put that picture into a new folder (mine is just titled "me").

Step Three: Look through the similar pictures below the one you saved. If you can't find smth that hits, either pick the next best one and continue from there, or search for something else. Repeat Steps One and Two until you have a nicely filled folder.

Step Four: Go through your new folder. Look at every picture and feel it out. What about it feels like you? Does the whole picture hit? Or maybe just a singular claw on a random animal? Is the time of day just perfect? Maybe a color scheme you resonate with?

Step Five: Do whatever you want with the results. Make a collage of the itty bitties of pictures you liked. Write down how you felt about each one in a short sentence. Try and draw them out (if you can) and see how it feels. Just whatever works for you.
