Physical species transition essay update!

[Pt; Physical speces transition essay update!, end PT.]

Ingestible, medication . Longer process - Super temporary title, but including species transition methods that take longer- mainly supplements * Permanent (?) - Temporary title. Other more "drastic" procedures that are neither tattoos, piercings or implants. * Reasoning - The "why"'s of species transition. * References - Sources

updated info about Alterspecies!!

Alterspecies is an Alterhuman umbrella where you identify & also want to transition (in a non-harmful way) with a non-human/animal/fictional, etc, species/group. You can identify with that species/group, or as the whole species/group.

Past life earthly nonhuman poll

I always hear normies use this stereotype of what nonhumans are sooo

So even if u are a Earthly nonhuman, are you even spiritual and use past lives as explanation?

even amoung earthly nonhumans, which are the sterotypical nonhuman posterchild for normies and get tossed as the first example for gp, lets find out if the past life stuff is the majority or ties with other things. Let's find out !

Clarification: for earthly nonhumans. This is to see if that sterotypical normie saying "most nonhumans just identify as nonhuman bc they believe they were a (usually earthly) animal in a past life" is true lol

I have brain fog so don't expect a perfect poll guys I'm not a scientist.

Are you an earthly animal nonhuman that believes in past lives?

yes

yes, but my nonhumanity is psychological

Yes, but i use another spiritual theory to explain my nonhumanity

no, my nonhumanity is psychological

No, my nonhumanity is physical (philosophy)

No, my nonhumanity is biological (literal)

Yes, my nonhumanity is both spiritual and psychological

Yes, my nonhumanity is spiritual, psychological and physical (philosophy)

Yes, my nonhumanity is spiritual, psychological, biological (literal)

Yes, but im unsure of my reason for being nonhuman

Other/explain

Mira(ge)species / Mira(ge)kin

Miragespecies, or miraspecies, miragekin or mirakin, is a species identity that is not quite clear enough to make out or understand fully. However, when one tries to look closer or figure it out, it fades or moves further away, like a mirage. People with this identity may have a rough idea of their species, but not perfect. This means that they can identify as any species, but they know that it isn't exactly right. This identity may also change over time. It is similar to speciesfluid except one is always uncertain about one's species on some level.

Term and flag coined by Fin of SOA on 29 October 2024.

Name and definition wording from miragegender.

It's both kinda depressing and low-key hilarious that the vessel I inhabit is so incredibly fucked up despite the divinity living inside it. Not-so-great eyesight, multiple mental illnesses stacked on top of each other, various minor (?) physical issues, horrible life experiences, each thing on the list making the other things worse...

I like to imagine the Gods had no idea this was going to happen. Like, they picked a soul to give these angelic attributes and responsibilities and put it out into it's next incarnation then Things Happened and they were like "oh.. OH NO"

Very funny to imagine.

Species Dysphoric Flag

Species Dysphoria: a condition in which a person feels that their body is of the wrong species. Many with this condition believe it is because their external body does not reflect their inner identity. As a result of this, the person may feel discomfort, confliction or confusion.

This is not essentially species dysmorphism/dysmorphia, because dysphoria has to do with identity too. Not all species dysphorix are transspecies though, and vice-versa.

You. ARE. Still. The. Species. You. Identify. As.

An Alterbeing essay (ps alterbeing is a more inclusive term for high dysphoria nonhumans, and has been popping up more lately as a general term , if yall support high dysphoric nonhumans be sure to use this term for your more inclusive space for those not wanted to be labeled human in any way !)

When your partner looks you in your exhausted eyes after a long, exciting but tiring day in the human world , and sees you for the dragon you are and makes you your favorite soup with ingredients that give you that good ol' euphoria, They listen. They see you. They don't think you are rediculous. I'm here to tell you , too, that I see you, too. That Barista working away in a human disguise, hiding in plain sight, your scales glistening in ether and astral, shine to those with sight to see. I see you. That bird living in disguise, fluffing your feathers of ether at the things you like, your shiny collections. I see you. That raptor in the working with all the coats and paperwork. I see you. That fashion designer siren in the distance embedding every design in jewels reminding you of the sea, I see you. That hawk, that coyote, that lion, working, studing, in human disguise, I see you. You are *still* who you are, Even if you don't look like it. Things Are Not Always What They Appear To Be. Always keep Seeing , Not Looking. You Are *Still* the species you identify as. Don't let anyone break your spirit. Hold on to it with all your might. -Seeing- you, will keep you from ever feeling truly lost. I assure you. Iv'e been there. Feeling empty. Only seeing who I was, opened up all my prosperity and fulfillment. Hold on to it all your might, as who you are, seeing you, who you Are, despite how it may or may not match how you look.... what you see yourself as, its the *key* to your own happiness. Dont forget that.

Some transspecies thoughts...

[Pt: Some transspecies thoughts, end Pt.]

Recently I've thought more about my wishes for species transition, both social and physical.

Physical transition is probably a few years away, due to my age and financial limitations and such. Social transition likewise kind of has to stall at a point until I move out. But I still have dreams, some I could maybe even achieve sooner than others.

So some of my current (achievable) thoughts are;

- More piercings, potentially get a (number) tag earring cause it feels right. Like I'm a werewolf who has been researched yet escapted into the night. So far I think I only want in my ears.

- Get more (buckle) collars! I want to have different ones for different occasions and meant to represent different altertypes.

- When I make my own meals, that mainly being "mellanmål" ("between meals"- I wish to have them served in dog bowls. I'll either look on a second hand website or look in store. (Dw I will of course wash them thoroughly!)

- Open up to the most supportive of my friends about using more of my names with me- many being inspired by or related to my nonhumanity

- More ear headbands, to match different altertypes and different colours.

- Take better care of my claws
