How are you TransSpecies but also dont want TransIDs to interact with you?/genq

TransSpecies is a Trans Identity/nm

Yep you're right, transspecies is a trans identity, not transID, it's a normal and healthy identity to have, similarly to transgender. It is neither discriminatory to minority groups nor impossible to achieve transition for the way that transIDs are. It's also a label that's been used within the alterhuman community long before transID terminology ever became a thing, it's just something that's been stolen from us against our wishes. If transgender isn't transID then neither is transspecies, and if it is then there's literally no reason to have the distinction between "trans" and "transID" to begin with.

I don't want transID interacting with me because they fetishize and promote stereotypes about a lot of already stigmatized groups of people, some of which I myself am a part of or of which many of my friends are. I will not stand for discrimination here. There are some transID's I feel slightly more neutral on (ex. transage or transoccupation, pretty much any that don't specifically target marginalized groups) and don't really care all that much if they wanna interact for whatever reason, but overall Ive found transID individuals in general to be very insulting and entitled and would generally just prefer not to engage with them.

I have a more in-depth explanation of this sort of thing a little ways down on my blog but that just about covers the basics I think, thanks for the ask! <3 :]

🐾🦷🌿 :3

🐾 ➤ Yes and no. For my wolf and coyote theriotype, yep I live in the same environment! Coyotes hang out a lot around where I live and there's a wolf pack about 20 miles from my house I think. It's super nice and makes me feel very at home. As for my other theriotypes no, and the only one who's environment I'd like to live in is my otter type, since the other two live on the savanna and I don't really like excessive heat/dryness lol (I also would enjoy living in the northwestern region of Europe which is the environment i associate Wolfbloods with, but idk if that fully counts since technically Wolfbloods can live anywhere lmao)

🦷 ➤ It's a combo of spiritual and psychological for me. Some of my kintypes (like wolfblood and wolf) stem from being autistic and "imprinting" on these creatures when I was young or from multiple kintype experiences mushing together to make smth new (wolf + wildebeest + human = coyote), whereas others (like AWD and otter) I view as past life experiences. However, I also believe that my neurodivergency allows me to better connect to spiritual aspects of myself. So while some parts of my nonhumanity are spiritual in origin, they're all through the lens of neurodivergency.

🌿 ➤ Hiking, exploring, journaling, parkour, quadrobics, vocals, playing tag, making art, and plant keeping ^^

🐅 and 🐞!

🐅 ➤ Sort of? I usually only dress in natural/earthy colors which might be connected to my therianthropy in someway, as for specific theriotypes tho not really. If im feeling particularly connected to my canine types I might wear a tail or dress more masculine, but other than that no I dress pretty much the same all the time.

🐞 ➤ Yep! I have shifts from time to time. Mental, phantom, and dream shifts are the ones I experience. Most of the time they're canine centric.

Mental shifts are pretty uncommon, at least the ones that are actually intense enough for me to realize they're happening lol. I'll have them maybe once every few months. The ways I feel/act depend on what triggered the shift or what environment I was in when it happened, but usually I'll become energetic and more aware of my surroundings, I think less in actual thoughts and more so in basic emotions/instincts, I want to be away from humans and civilization, sometimes i'll have an increased prey drive or become more aggressive, and speaking feels uncomfortable. It's both a fun and annoying experience; fun because i feel more in tune with myself and feel physically stronger, annoying because usually when it happens im not in a place/situation where I can indulge it so I have to ignore it and act normal to the best of my abilities until it goes away.

Phantom Shifts really only happen when I meditate, or my body is otherwise relaxed (like when Im trying to sleep). The most common limb I'll feel are paws in place of my hands, but Ive also felt paws on my feet, a muzzle, wings on my back, and fangs. The best way I can describe how they feel is like wearing a glove or a shoe. Even though it technically isn't part of your body, you can still feel it attached to you, and if someone touched it you'd still be able to feel it.

Dream Shifts are the least common but most enjoyable shifts I have. Oddly, Im rarely physically nonhuman during these shifts, rather Im just able to run on all fours really fluidly, fly, vocalize, and/or in a mental shift mindset. I've always had extremely vivid and lifelike dreams where I can see, hear, and feel almost everything (both a blessing and a curse), so it's nice being able to feel almost fully nonhuman for once.

u guys should send me some asks >:3

Made a therian/alterhuman ask! Feel free to ask away or use this!
