Can we stop trying to “reality check” physical nonhumans, alterbeings, fictionkin, and fictives? It's extremely ableist and harmful. Thanks.

Ok kinda lil vent/rant thingy here ig but (slight curse warning at the end)

I honestly hate being the age I am in the alterhuman community. I’m a young teen, 12-15, and I feel really bad sometimes because alterhumans my age typically don’t actually seem to know what therianthropy/alterhumanity means and they’re typically the ones watering down definitions, or they’re stereotyped to be anyway, so:

1: it’s hard af to make alterhuman friends/moots that aren’t just 11 year olds who think animal masks r cool

2: older alterhumans stereotype me as some sort of trender just because I’m younger and I feel unwelcome in some generally actually accepting alterhuman spaces like tumblr just because people assume I’m not a “real” therian just cause I’m younger

3: I can’t really buy affirming gear, even tho I can afford it, because most people in my life can barely tolerate “typical” therians or TikTok therians, so if people can only barely stand masks and foxtails how would they feel about collars, or snout/muzzle masks, or fake fangs, or species affirming hairstyles, or fake wings, or faun legs, mermaid tails moth antennae contact lenses, the list goes on

4: since I can’t find many informed alterhuman friends irl and since obvs my *barely tolerating* friends would find it weird to listen, I don’t really have a good outlet to talk about or figure out parts of my alterhumanity other than social media, and then I just feel like some chronically online bish because I start to feel more comfortable talking about things that personal with internet strangers than my own friends

Idk it gets really frustrating honestly, wish I could just exist as a creature in peace without all this shit in my head, pisses me off >:[

But anyway rant/vent over, thanks for reading if u did lol

I don't know if "nonhuman" works for this

I'm writing an essay on what alterhumanity is, but I can't think of a term that includes everybeing that I'm mentioning. I'm specifically talking about beings that 'identify as' / are something or someone else. I was using nonhuman, but I worry that terms excludes, factkin, fictionkin, otherhuman, etc.

Does nonhuman work for this? If not, is there a word that encompasses all of these beings?

Edit: It doesn't and I'm now looking for a term that will work.

Edit 2: I explained this so poorly. Forget the essay part, 'nonhuman' excludes many fictionkin, factkin and otherhumans, so I'm looking for a term that covers all beings that 'identify as' / are a different being, person, creature, etc.

Difficult alterhuman life is having to repress your shifts, so, so much, they stop.

I used to have pretty intense shifts, urges to howl and bark, to behave like a canine— since I am one.

But obviously my family wouldn't allow it, because "what would people think of you? What would they think of ME?".

I started to repress them, but I could still feel them. They were like a fire, a wild and fierce fire growing inside of me that burned me and I needed to let out

But then, somehow even worse: they started to fade.

I stopped having phantom shifts, and my mental shifts were more and more faint, until they stopped too. The fire inside of me died, but it was the fire that kept me alive.

Now I feel as if I am cold and hollow on the inside. No more fur and fierce teeth, no more fire that although can burn, kept me alive.

Sometimes little embers and sparks flare up again, but I am afraid.. will it ever be as intense as before..?

I hope that one day you can find the space to be you again and ignite that fire
