sometimes i get a little worried about interacting with other physical nonhumans on here because I know i’ve seen quite a few of them that are either upset by or generally unwelcoming to pshifters 💔 I try to double check accounts to make sure I am not crossing any line

i never want to make others uncomfortable but the mindset some physical nonhumans have about us is a little odd to me, seeing a rare few people say “im a physical therian and i support CLCZ individuals but i would NEVER associate with those weird people who ACTUALLY think they can physically shapeshift and don’t admit it’s delusion!!” and it’s like oh… okay…

it’s part of my falling out with the general therian/nonhuman communities tbh!! 😵‍💫 why would i sacrifice my sanity interacting with liars? So many say they support all physical and biological nonhumans but I know that never extends to people like me. For as long as i don’t label my experience as Clinical Zoanthropy or otherwise Delusion, for as long as I don’t beat around the bush with my experiences and don’t avoid calling myself a pshifter, I’ll never be welcomed, not even hesitatingly.

I feel for the CLCZ individuals out here too, i feel like I see so much backhanded support, like people don’t seem to even make an effort to understand what your experiences are actually like because of this assumption that it is all Fake due to your diagnosis. This paw begrudgingly extended by the rest of the community, because of this idea that you are just ‘mentally ill’… pathologizing your experiences rather than just seeing them for what they are… it’s sickening to me. “as long as they know they are delusional” they say.

this isn’t to say that all of the broader nonhuman communities are like this, but i do see it occasionally and the more I do the more I wonder how genuine the rest of the community is. Like Im waiting for them to change their mind and switch up. Like im waiting for them to pull the rug out from under us. You know what I mean?

“b-but physical therians make the community look bad!!1!1!1!11!” “they aren’t real therians1!1!1!1!1”

They literally founded the community. They are just as valid as you. You’re hating on the roots of therianthropy and the community.

@cloud--dust thought of you.

Dreaming of a heard

Im going to start doing a thing where under every silly post i also post a little bit about my non-humanity so I don’t feel like im just posting slop!

One of the things that to me as a child was the biggest sign that I was a horse and a wolf was that I knew a lot about both of their wild behaviors, and knowing that I could put two and two together with my own behaviors, and instincts, and at first i thought I was only a horse, and then I thought I was only a wolf, but when I was just slightly older maybe around 8-9 I finally put it together that I was both physically a horse and wolf, and a zoanthrope and that’s why my behaviors and instincts were animal and specifically canine and equine, and also why I had been having transformations, and also some hints into why my health was a certain way. It takes me a long time to talk about things, but that’s not due to shame because nothing anyone could tell me would ever make me question who I am and what I am, it was due to not knowing the right way to articulate things. But I’m very done with feeling like I have to be articulate.

You literally can't win as a therian. If your theriotype is deemed "common" or "basic", then you're faking it. If your theriotype is obscure/rare or unique, then you're faking it as well.

People are going to hate you. Humans will hate you just for being alterhuman, and alterhumans will hate you for your theriotype type.

To that I say, fuck them.

You, yes you reading this, are valid. You are valid for having a "common" or "basic" theriotype, you are valid for having a unique or obscure theriotype, you are valid for having one theriotype, you are valid for having multiple theriotypes.

You. are. valid.

Do not listen to the haters. Block block block them. Cut them out of your life. Ignore them. I know, especially when I was younger(teenage years), I was desperate to defend my identity. Fought tooth and nail against haters both within and outside the alterhuman community. And I'm telling you right now, the fighting is not worth it. It's draining, exhausting, and it weighs so heavily on your mental health.

My best advice, as a therian for over ten years. Exist for yourself. Live and be happy. You do not have to "prove" yourself. You simply are. You are, and that is enough. You are enough. Love yourself and exist in a way that makes you happy. Fuck everyone else.

And to the haters, both within and outside the alterhuman community. I'm begging you, please get a hobby. You are so pathetically boring, and it's mad weird to be this obsessed with what others are doing.

this is my new aesthetic I call it applecore

[coastal-coyote]

being neutral about other peoples kinks is necessary by the way. when consenting adults are doing things between consenting adults, and you prioritize your discomfort over their autonomy and right to exist safely in a space without having their private interests excavated and recontextualized to make them out to be predators, that says way more about your willingness to place yourself in the position of moral authority than it does about them and you deputizing yourself on the basis of nothing but vibes and your personal traumas makes you very dangerous politically.

shout out to alterhumans who:

use litter boxes

eat (safe) pet food

have animal packers

do pet play

use collars/leashes

[coastal-coyote]

Folks with endangered theriotypes aren’t allowed to kill themselves. Killing endangered animals is against the law.

[coastal-coyote]

shoutout to chronically ill therians who can't do a lot of things that other critters can even though they're the same creature.

shoutout to fat therians who struggle to do quads.

shoutout to mute therians who can't bark, meow, whinny, growl, yip or make any other sound to do with who they are.

shoutout to deaf therians with theriotypes that are known for their amazing hearing.

shoutout to aquatic therians that can't swim, whether it be due to a fear, disability, or anything else.

shoutout to therians that don't quite know which animal they are yet, it's okay. you have all the time in the world.

shoutout to therians who don't have friends or a pack to rely on. you'll find your folks.

shoutout to therians who aren't white and feel isolated in the community because of that.

shoutout to therians who don't have the time or resources to fully be themselves yet.

shoutout therians who struggle to accept themselves as their type just because they're not a "popular" animal to see around.

shoutout to therians who are the complete opposite to that last part, no matter how common or uncommon your type is, it's still okay. you're still you and that is lovely.

shoutout to ALL therians. you are all important and wonderful, if you don't believe it then i sure do. i love you all.

Honestly the fact that so few folks can actually express why pedophilia and bestiality are harmful is extremelt worrying. "Because theyre attracted to kids/animals" thats weird, sure, but theres nothing genuinely morally wrong with that. You cannot control what you are attracted to, so it cannot be morally wrong. "Because sex with kids/animals" close! Can you express WHY thats wrong? <- and this is where I lost 70% of people because they just go 'its gross' or 'theyre kids/animals'. Which is not why it is wrong.it is wrong because kids and theriform animals CANNOT CONSENT. It is wrong because having sex with an animal or child, no matter what, is ALWAYS rape or sexual assault. It is wrong because sexual assault is wrong. Yes, you may think it is gross or abhorrent or disgusting, but dont you dare get your feelings mixed up with reality. It is not wrong because its gross to you, it is wrong because its rape.

oh, what a wonderful little life it is to be a mountain lion watching two meteor showers in the same sky on the same night

Clinical lycanthropes and zoanthropes belong in the therian community. I will die on this hill.

It not only is harmful to reject us as we already face a shit ton of ableism, but it’s also helpful to accept us, as many of us struggle with accepting ourselves in the first place.

Please, be kind to your nonhuman identifying people, including lycanthropes. We just want to be a part of something bigger like all of you.

We want and need a place to belong too.

"Your kin is too common!" "Your kin is too rare!" "You have too many kin!" "You don't have enough kin!" "Your kin fluctuates!" "You chose your kin!" "You-" SHUT UP.

How about we don't fake claim folk, just because it doesn't fit into your tiny sliver of what you call "correct."
