#alterhumanity experiences

I hate global warming, where's my winter? Where's my snow? I feel so empty without it, winter season always was linked to my nonhumanity. I felt always more animalistic during this time, the snowy Woods was calling me. And, winter is just pretty, where's my pretty?

While some tiktok therians fight for "we know we are human" thing, I fight for "can I see myself as a fully animal without feeling internalised cringe at myself".

I feel like "we know we are human" hit me too hard during growing up just to feel included in the society and I feel like I will never be fully myself as I was when I didn't cared about being cringe

No alterhumanity isn't cringe for me but it's my issue when it comes to me and myself

Replacement of the word "kinnie"

Hello! My friend asked me

"If there's any word insted of kin / kinnie? I want to say that I relate to a character in one word without harming the alterhuman community"

And honestly, I don't know the answer but I really would like to find a some way for this situation because it would be helpful even for me. Personally I use "relatable characters" instead of "kin" but there really isn't a word for "kinnie". I got an answer that would be a "synpath" but I see on the internet that it's a synonym to the "otherhearted". So I started looking up for the definitions and here's the official definition of the synpath:

Synpath is a tidy name for something you identify with on several levels, which could be a concept that resonates really strongly with you, an animal or mythological creature you feel you act like, or a person or character you share a lot of common behaviors with, among other things. Term's creator: https://aestherians.tumblr.com/post/152549588889/synpath-faq

and commonly shared explanation of the otherhearted would be

Otherhearted - An individual that strongly and deep indetifies with a being / character / animal / object / plant / etc. Otherhearted individuals may feel an affinity, resonance, or deep bond with a species, recognizing it as a significant aspect of their identity.

These both definitions are used as synonym, BUT I see that some people / beings are using it as replacement of the "kinnie". I'm writing this post because I'm not sure if I understood this correctly? so my final question is: Is "synpath" a good replacement of the "kinnie" in meaning just relating to a character? If no, then what it would be?

I spent 2 years on questioning if I'm not human enough to call myself therian

Then I understood that I'm valid and definitely a wolf therian

And all of that, only to dislike word therian. I''m just a wolf
