I guess I'm human but in the way of like… if someone told me "you're human!" I'd just be like "oh yeah, I guess I am. huh. anyway"

like I'm not uncomfortable with being called human but it does feel a little weird. detached. like yeah that term technically fits me, but I don't actively think of myself as human. except for sometimes when I do, like when the phrase "love is what makes us human" (no it isn't it's cooked food if anything) is brought up. but if you refer to me as "a human" (rather than "a person") I'll feel very mildly uncomfortable about that, but not enough to say anything. idk man my alterhumanity is confusing sometimes

what does the term librahuman mean? it sounds cool but I'm not familiar with it

Librahuman is someone that feels approximately 1-50% human! I have a very weak connection to humanity, but there is a connection, so I can technically use the term. I don't really care about using it personally though, it's just a good quick description of how I feel.

There are some similar terms on the demihuman page of the otherkin wiki (here)

tbh the more I just sit w it the less useful the psychological vs spiritual 'kin dichotomy is to describe my identity

[grim-maul-kin]

I often explain my nonhumanity as having two origins: dehumanisation due to disability and queerness, and something else, something innate. This is who I am because I choose to be, out of reaction to bigotry, and, at the same time, this is who I am because, well, this is just who I am. Both parts are important to my experience of nonhumanity.
