Hi! Are you an alterhuman and want to be part of a single-episode educational advocate podcast episode? I need your help in providing survey data!

If you aren’t an alterhuman, please fill out the survey still if you have the time!

I’m trying to give a voice to others in my community and promote acceptance of alterhumanity. Filling out the survey helps me a lot!

Just a warning, this survey will ask about discrimination. If you do not want to answer any of the questions, please do not take the survey. The discrimination section is an extremely important part of the survey. All responses will be anonymous!

While I’m glad people are offering to guest speak, this podcast will be put in a contest that would need a name to credit an individual with. If you don’t have a problem with that and still want to guest speak, reach out to me in DMs! I may not invite a guest speaker, but the option still remains open.

Alterhuman Survey

There are no exclusionary limits to the survey, I want it to be as inclusive as possible.

Please reblog the post, share with friends, etc. I would like this to reach as many people as possible.

I think the more I’ve matured and the longer I ruminate on my own alterhuman identity the less I feel the need to post on this account. An alterhuman identity— for me— can be closely compared to my transgender identity.

Not many people have a whole account dedicated to being transgender, but if they have a different account they might bring it up. I posted here when I didn’t really know who I was, and I wanted fellowship and community to help me understand myself. It did work, but I realised I didn’t need it much anymore because I was comfortable not feeling the need to label myself as much anymore.

Sometimes I am just an animal and I feel at peace going to sleep with only that and nothing else, and the same goes for gender identity.

I hope in the future I may just as comfortable casually addressing my transgender identity in other spaces as I could my alterhuman identity. I strive for acceptance of my identity and my person.

Celebrating Yule traditions for the first time with my family this year. I’m excited! One of the things my family is really looking forward to is decorating a Yule log together and creating a julbock to stand by our fireplace.

Okay so I THOUGHT a mask wouldn’t do anything for me (mostly just has ear shifts or teeth shifts) mainly because I think the feeling of it on my face would give me the ick. Very wrong. Quality makes a huge difference for the face feel. Lining and cushioning really helped on the mask I’ve made. But also when I thought it wouldn’t do anything for me wearing it gives me such heart tickling euphoria <3 it’s indescribable

The transgender to non-binary pipeline through alterhumanity is too real … didn’t want to admit it for a while, but I’m just straight creature now. Masc? Femme? Don’t know her. Just the

I feel like sometimes others(strangers and family alike) just get some innate sense that I am not human and instead some walking animal. And since I am an animal, I don’t deserve the same compassion they readily give to their other human brethren. I am not you, so I am beneath you. I'll still be here long after you though.

Can’t believe my last post was 2 months ago ???? It wasn’t meant to be like “I’m never posting on this account again” 🗿 but just that I may not post often so here I come to write my semi monthly post.

Really got into fishing recently. Super fun, gets me outside and active and it gives me good dopamine from accomplishing something that isn’t a video game related task lol. BUT! It also brings me closer to nature in a way it satisfies my urge to hunt. Surveying the environment, changing my tactics based on it, adapting. The catch feels amazing.

Can’t wait to start doing catch and cooks since I’ll be living right next to a huge lake soon. I’ll really just be hunting my own food. I wish I knew how to actually hunt as well I’d be replacing all the beef in my diet with deer meat. So tastyyy. Might even think about a garden as well, with these damn grocery prices.

Be curious to see if any other alterhumans like to fish or hunt? :3

I tend to have some internalised hatred towards myself because of my therianthropy (I’m not sure what the phobia for it is called)* which results in slightly purist rules I project onto myself.

*later edit, I have learned it’s called alterhumisia.

Such as “feline and canines are such polar opposites that it would be impossible for me to be both”.

And despite that, I have still always experienced the instincts and behaviours of both in a blend that has always felt extremely natural to me. So I’m having to fight my self-imposed rules and in doing so learn to love myself a little more. I am allowed to be what I am!
