I really dislike when people outside of this community refer to alterhumanity as cosplaying or roleplaying. sure, there can be overlap since kinfolk can enjoy participating in those — but it's not the same thing at all. the amount of times that it has been referred to as cosplay is a few times too many for me. I may have a lot of characters that I relate to or that I associate myself with, but when it comes to my core identity, that's serious and fixed.
at the very least, whoever I was in the past really resembled the fictional characters I connect to, whether in personality or in appearance. even if I end up being wrong (or right), it's not just a coping mechanism or a fun activity for me.
