Alterhumanity - Blog Posts

I wouldn't really call it dysphoria, but sometimes I just get this really sudden awareness (I think they're called sensory shifts?) where Im just like "woaHHH MAN IM WAY TOO FUCKING TALL RN WHAT THE HELL"

Do any other nonhumans get size dysphoria?? I feel like I'm the wrong size I feel like I should be the size of my 'types

Friendly reminder to never EVER let losers on the internet convince you that alterhumanity is wrong or will never be accepted by general society.

I went to my city's local renaissance faire earlier this week and I had genuinely such an incredible experience. I went with my tail, theta delta necklace, and mask (which I may post here once Im fully done with it lol) gear and received so many compliments. Not only that but I saw and talked to quite a few other alterhumans, like at least 10 and that was after only being there for 1 of the 2 days for less than 2 hours. Also please keep in mind that this was by no means a large ren faire (at least compared to others in the region) and the area I live in is very mixed in terms of progressiveness. But at one point I was walking past some vendors and an older lady running one of the booths exclaimed how much she liked my mask and asked to take a picture of it, and explained how her granddaughter was just starting to learn how to make some of her own. And then told me that the booth next to hers was "selling some therian masks" (yes she actually used the word therian completely unprompted!) and sure enough the couple in there were selling some masks made by their 11 year old daughter (which were absolutely gorgeous btw). Afterwards, as I was out near the parking lot waiting for my ride so that I could leave, I was practicing quadrobics and some 5-6 year old kids walked past me with their parents and looked absolutely awestruck. Shortly after another woman approached me and told me that her young granddaughter was completely overjoyed when she saw me me running around and had wanted to come play with me, and had said "Ive never seen a creature play like that before!!"

Not only was the ren faire itself super fun and cool to be at (I can't wait for next year omg), but it was unexpectedly the most positive alterhuman related experiences Ive had maybe ever.

There is a future where we are normal, where others see us as who we truly are and where we don't have to conceal ourselves to avoid judgement. The road isn't always going to be smooth, especially as we grow in numbers, in fact I fully expect things to get a whole lot worse for us in the years and decades to come. But one day, maybe even in our lifetimes, you will walk through a pride parade and see someone enthusiastically waving a massive theta delta flag through the crowd. You will hear strangers casually use species neutral language like it's the most normal thing in the world. You will sit down with your family to watch the newest popular tv show that includes a character who has received species affirming medical care. You will walk past a cozy locally owned business that has an "all species welcomed!" sticker on their window next to their lgbtq+ and poc welcoming signs.

We are everywhere, and we're not going away. There will always be those who refuse to understand us, but there will be more who choose to love and accept us in our entirety, I have absolutely no doubt about that <3

A Short and Inconclusive List of Alterhuman Music Artists

(Will update as needed/requested)

Hey! Just thought it'd be cool to make a small collection of therian and alterhuman (including furries and bronies, as they do technically fall under the AH umbrella) musicians who are out there for folks in the community if they ever feel like listening to something made by other creatures :3

This list is very much a work in progress, if you have any suggestions about changes or additions I should make just shoot me an ask or leave a comment, thank you ^^ <3

Ever since I learned to cut the "but I know Im still completely human btw" bullshit in regards to my nonhumanity and instead just embraced the whole "Im literally a werewolf" mindset, Ive honestly been sooooo much happier and more confident with myself and my identity.

I feel so much more in-tune with my authentic self, and my overall expression is much better aligned with how I perceive myself. My species dysphoria certainly hasn't disappeared, but it's miles more manageable than it was even compared to a year ago, which ironically has also helped me learn to love the parts of me that are still human. Im so much more balanced now, and the internalized shame I struggled with for so long is steadily eroding away. Even something as simple as casually making jokes to my friends about how they might catch me prowling the forest on a full moon is infinitely more affirming than constantly trying to convince humans that I "didn't actually believe I was an animal".

I am a real life lycanthrope. I'm never going to deny that part of myself ever again. Fuck trying to make yourself palatable for human social norms.

ooooooo i love this sm it's such a cute idea, OP you're a genius :3

and then what if the gift shop also sold stuff (stickers, jewelry, books, etc) made by independent/freelance alterhuman artists to help support them, and there could be a whiteboard for folks to doodle on while they wait for their orders <3

I remember years ago I dreamed of opening an alterhuman cafe. I imagined a little paradise where all species could get together and just chill. We would serve drinks and snacks for specific theriotypes, there would be a little gift shop selling tails and stuff, a lounge area upstairs where you can make a den out of pillows, an outdoor quadrobics course etc. It’s not something that’s really possible, but it’s a nice idea I think.

Drag is to transsexuality what furry is to therianthropy

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

I just had one of the most positive "coming out" therian experiences Ive ever had the other day.

I was hanging out with a couple friends I hadn't seen in a while (technically it'd been years, but we've all kept in good contact online so it felt like much less), and one of them asked me about therianthropy because they had seen me post about it once or twice on my main. So I tried to be less awkward about it than usual and just told them straight up "It means I identify as an animal".

And there were no weird looks, no blank stares or awkward silence. They just kinda laughed and were like "Oh yeah that makes perfect sense for you :)"

We talked about it a little bit off and on during the rest of the hang out, I told them about my phantom shifts and mental shifts, about how I met my irl therian friends, about how I found the community. They asked me genuine questions, and while talking about alterhumanity irl is still a rather uncomfortable experience given how infrequently I do it, I never once felt judged.

And the thing is that neither of these friends are even part of adjacent/intersecting communities. Neither are furries, neither are cosplayers or really even into fandom at all. By all accounts they're both very "normie", but they accepted me with open arms.

After really only having coming out experiences where the other person just responds with "okay 🙂" and then never acknowledges it again, it felt soooo good to just have a normal open conversation about it, just like I would with any other aspect of my identity.

Sometimes humans are really cool :)

Poll time! :3 Interested in hearing community thoughts on this

Friendly reminder that you DO NOT have to be radqueer if you are transspecies.

Transspecies has been a term within the alterhuman community long before radqueers decided to coopt it, it is not inherently part of that community and never will be. I promise you there are other spaces/people out there that will support you for who you are; you do not need to align yourself with harmful ideologies just to find acceptance. <3

might start selling animal masks when i get the materials

for therians, furries, etc of certain animals i dunno, im not a therian but im a furry, for right now then will just be painted with mesh eyes to see until i get better materials as well as stuff for commissions of art!

i would sell on etsy but for right now im only doing commissions for 10-15$ per mask

I have a lot of theriotypes but this is probably the most threatening when angry and the one I use to represent my cladofeline (is that the right word? if not I mean to say every feline ever) so . . . .

angry jaguar vs cute jaguar

you ! ! you there ! ! ! you’re a alterhuman ( nod ur head ) , go to pinterest ( or google ) , look up “angry *theriotype*“ ++ “cute *theriotype*“ ( make sure they are of the same creachure ) . compare .

angry lion vs cute lion , , ,

Shout out to this person for not knowing what an alterhuman is and harassing random people in comment sections. Good job bud/sar
