#alterhuman advice

Do not date people who do not support you for being alterhuman.

You deserve love that includes every bit of you.

This may have been obvious to everyone else but I’ve only just realized makeup is great when it comes to being alterhuman and plural.

I don’t like that humans- especially afab ones- are expected to wear makeup at times, which is probably why we’re only just now getting into it since we rejected it as a requirement, but it’s actually very fun when it’s something you’re doing for yourself.

It can help you look different from the other inhabitants of the body and help make you look more nonhuman. My recommendations are glittery or chrome makeup (we recently got a chrome eyeliner that I adore) and brightly colored eyeshadow, but I’m still quite new to this and I’m sure what your kintype is will change what kind of makeup makes you feel euphoric (if you even feel like makeup helps with your kintype, I don’t think it’ll help everyone.).

I’ve been kinsidering that I might be a dog, human, and something else.

The “something else”:

- ⭐️Sleeps in a den of some sort (used to pretend that I lived in a den) (has always liked small but not too small spaces)

- Tree climbing

- Good at swimming

- Collects things

- *Nibbles*

- Omnivorous

- Likes nuts, berries, fish, bugs?, eggs, plants of some sort?, and scraps (like table scraps and stuff you’d find in the garbage).

- Smaller than a dog?

- Four legs?

- *sniff sniff sniff*

- *stops to listen and look around*

Confirmed identities:

- Human

- Dog, Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix

I’ve looked into otters, bunnies, and foxes briefly but they don’t feel quite right. Looking into raccoons rn. They feel closer but I’m still unsure.

I feel like almost all of these behaviors could be covered by my dog or human identity though. The only concrete thing I can’t explain is the strong urge to live in a small den.

Advice would be appreciated. <3

Friends, I’ve discovered through this weed use (and friends) that I think I need to become radically accepting of my bird self, well, all of my theriotypes really. But the birds especially, as Erhm. Well. I mean the guy I’ve been talking to for ages I now suddenly like.

His favorite animal is the kookaburra and ofc I am one. So like, you get the idea… wanting to be the favorite. ANYWAYS, how have you therians, kin, alterhumans, etc have learned to become open hearted to your identities?

Hey, if you are alterhuman (therian/holothere/nonhuman) and you sometimes feel species dysphoria because you are able to talk (or have to talk to communicate better)

Have you considered using AAC? Maybe communication board/cards, or buttons, or apps that you can download on your phone... I think this may help you communicate more comfortably without using your voice (?)

(I personally don't have any species dysphoria, but I wanna help)

I don’t suppose you have any tips for simulating the sensation of wings on your back? Especially tips that can be used in public spaces? These phantom sensations are driving me up a wall.

Also do you know if there’s a generally accepted term for winged humanoids? I’m getting kinda sick of having to call myself winged humanoid kin.

answering this ask out of order because I have an immediate response due to me being winged.

I generally would recommend something like straps you can put under clothes to have the feeling of something on your back. (like thick elastic) , if you dont mind something visable something heavier like a bookbag to simulate the weight of wings. also ponchos and/or jackets ties around your shoulders !!

I generally use "avian" to describe beings winged, and that can vary from only winged to having feathered / more bird-like features
