I'm grateful n all for Therian Territory for helping me start my discovery about my alterhumanity but I'm so glad I don't see their videos anymore. Thorn's server is also really anti CLCZs and physical shifters/alterhuman identities in so many ways. Wdym p shifting is a "blacklisted topic" (????) because it's harmful ??????????

God I wish there were more alterhuman "educators" (unlike Thorn. They're VERY biased) that didn't exclusively make content in the form of short videos like tiktok, instagram reels and yt shorts. I don't use most social medias (only tumblr, spacehey and messaging apps) because they are harmful to my mental health and anxiety, and it's a shame that most alterhumans are there.

Still, I like tumblr very much,, I just wish there were more alterhumans here, specially those who aren't from UK, US or Europe.

biological therians, clinical zoanthropes, and p-shifters! I'm interested in your experience!

if you are one of those in any way, consider interacting with this post :•)

and if you aren't one of those, but know any interesting blogs or outside resources, maybe consider sharing them!

this subject is sadly hard to come by because of the stigma the community still holds, but I genuinely want to learn;

about how your experience works and feels for you, how/when you began p-shifting (if you do), how you found out you were a bio therian/shifter/zoanthrope, how does it affect you or your relationships, how do you differentiate yourself from physical therians as a broader category...

just to list some examples of what I ponder about, but I'm eager to listen to literally anything you might have to say

in the most respectful way possible, I think this experience is fascinating! (my shape-shifting related dysphoria and polykin/changeling identities are probably the ones to blame)

apologies in advance if any of the questions I mentioned are in any way invasive, insensitive, or even offensive <:•) it was not my intent at all, but I don't consider myself educated enough to safely assume I'm not being rude! obviously, no one is required to answer this if not comfortable

I hope I can get my point across and reach those who are interested in being listening to; I think you are cool and interesting! and I wanna hear your voices!

”i’m fine with clinical zoanthropes but i would never EVER accept someone who actually thinks they can shapeshift!” oh okay so you don’t see zoanthropes’ experiences as genuine. got it.

the stereotype that physical nonhumans are "harmful" does more damage than good.

this really shouldn't be a hot take, but it is for some reason. no matter how you consider yourself to be physically nonhuman (pshifters, holotheres, endels, clinical lycanthropes/zoanthropes, extra limb growers or other titles/identities i forgot to include), i strongly believe that we all deserve a space to exist in.

no, physical nonhumans aren't out to get you. we aren't out here to scam you or hurt you, we are simply living our lives amongst you. the shitty groups and people of the past gave us a bad name, not because we're actually physically nonhuman. just bc we have different experiences doesn't make us lesser; it just makes us alive.

in my eyes, we are all equal. if you identify as a song, concept, plant, the vibes of a room. if you are able to physically change yourself somehow, internally or externally, whether or not other people can see this transformation or if you are/were growing extra limbs, we are all equal no matter if we are able to understand each other or not. i like to think we can agree to disagree and be kind, but clearly for some it's hard to do that.

anyways i know ive made this post before like 100 times but the topic of excluding physical nonhumans REALLY bothers me because we are an important part of the nonhuman/alterhuman/therian etc community as a whole. it bothers me a lot that there's people out there that think nonhumanity is exclusively spiritual/mental and throws out the "pshifters are abusive scammers" card. like, girlie pop we are just minding our own business in circles we've created bc YOU THREW US (the ones who had no connection to the actual shitty individuals of the past) OUT.

TLDR; stop throwing out physical nonhumans because of some shitty individuals that ruined our reputation. also i know i say this a lot but it's a topic that's on my mind quite a bit bc i feel like physical nonhumanity is excluded a lot and it feels unfair to have our community watered down to just "delusional or gullible ppl/children" or "toxic lying scammers".

anyways (again) i love u all fellow shapeshifters and critters and other things/folks in the world out there somewhere! /p

hi, im not really involved in therian/otherkin spaces so idk much of the terminology (though im an alterhuman and otherhearted myself) so could you explain what is a physical otherkin? ty ^^

Believe it or not, I'm actually not too sure myself. 😅 Back in ye olden days, physical therians were those who said they could physically shift (like werewolves do on TV) and it was usually shut down.

I think it's be redefined a bit but I'm not 100% sure myself! But luckily we have a growing community so I'm sure somebody will be happy to answer!

The Ethical Pshifter is... physically here!

physical copies here (dw it will ship with the right book cover, thats barnes & noble's fault)

Some general notes about the printed copies of this book from Draft2Digital:

certain paragraphs will end/stop, then begin on the other side of the page, leaving a blank space where it is not intentional. this is not as big of problem as it is just the margins plus it leaves space for you to do whatever you want in those spaces like notes or drawing. it is a journal after all.

i have power regarding certain things about the inside of the book, but i cannot control everything. so there are possible errors from the printing that i cannot fix. this means that bullet points and lines will also be affected for unknown reasons, but they are never going to be placed on top of each other or misplaced on the page, everything looks good so far.

i compared the file and the print review for the inside of the book, and no where in the original file did the numbered citations appear. this is the fault of Draft2Digital, again. while it is not a big issue, it has never happened before in any of my other books and i am assuming it is something to do with the links itself.

Overall, the print book is worth having if you want to physically have the book there and be able to write in it your personal experiences, as intended. If you are not like me and want to just read it whenever, wherever and have your own ways of journaling besides the book, then maybe using the Gumroad version might work!

I have a little bit of a thought in my head that I think I should share,

I feel like with age and understanding my nonhumanity I have come to realize that I am a anthropomorphic bipedal shapeshifter who still is a theriform wolverine (and many other) soul within, I am physically and biologically a wolverine, but I am so much more than just a wolverine, in the sense I feel like a god to my own body, to my own brain, I can do whatever I want, I can be whoever I want, I can shape shift and be someone new, I love tricking humans into believing I'm human as well, tricking society into allowing me into spaces that I'm not usually allowed in,

This goes back to me feeling euphoria with my nonhumanity and gender identity, I'm not the one to really feel dysphoria for who I am, rather I change myself to embrace the beast that I am, the unpredictable animalistic creature that roams, that hunts, that snarls and growls, the gluttonous beast that I am and that I have become,

I remember the other day while I was at the bar helping my shelter with a raffle/bango night fundraiser, I was drunk off of wine and wearing my coyote tail, some individuals were giving me second looks and being a little inconsiderate with they're remarks, but there was one lady who I used help with the cows at the sales Barn when I still worked there, and she comes over to my table sits down and asked me "what's with the tail, are you a furry?", so I tell her yes but also a little bit more complex than that, I see curiosity on her face as she tells me to go on, I tell her that I'm someone who both identifies as and believes that I have a non-human animal soul (I know pretty cheesy for me to say that but whatever), she asks me on how long I knew about the side of myself and how I even came to that conclusion, I tell her ever since I was 14 and that it took a lot of soul searching and me figuring out my self to come to that conclusion, she was obviously not trying to hurt my feelings or trying to be mean, after all humanity is quite confused by something they don't understand, she tells me that must be sad to think that way and I must have been bullied into feeling like that, and I tell her no, I tell her that I embrace who I am and that I love every inch of myself even if society doesn't agree, I told her yes I was bullied but not for my identity, but for being autistic and disabled, I tell her that I have met so many individuals who identify in so many different ways and have so much euphoria with their own identity that it's beautiful, she is taken back by my response, and seems to be more understanding with my identity and how I express myself, by the end we share pleasant goodbyes,

society wants to make you believe that your identity is the saddest thing and that being normal is the only way to make you happy, that is a lie that you should never believe, embrace your animal side, embrace that part that you were born with, whether it's soul-based, physical/biological-based, psychologically-based, religious/spiritual-based, whatever,

And if you're not a non-human animal, then still embrace that side of you, never be ashamed, you are beautiful, you are powerful, you are a God to your own body, be a god, make society quiver in fear, change the ignorant minds.

We are more than human, we are so so much more.
