to be honest, I just see people talking about physically shape shifting.. organs, bones, body changing. and even saying that others have witnessed it. and it is talked about so matter of factly. like this is real and there’s a whole like class of human you’re born into considered supernaturals - vampires, shapeshifters, dragons, etc. with powers. and like very specific collective “lore.” a huge community. it makes my brain a little confused. bc there’s no proof and science says that this isn’t possible. but are supernaturals with powers genuinely real or are these individuals collectively experiencing delusions/hallucinations without the ability to double book keep? like they just don’t know it’s not real bc it’s real to them? I say not real to mean.. not actually possible and perceivable to everyone- like what they think/perceive is happening is not actually happening irl. it’s just like. should I be believing in this stuff or would I be getting myself sucked into delusion. at what point do u tag/consider something unreality. genuinely don’t want to hurt or invalidate anyone but i guess i just want to ask someone on the outside what is real. what is happening.

cw for physical shifters/CLCZ on reality checking(?)

i get what you mean, and i so understand how it’s confusing, and i say this in the most sympathetic way possible: i think you’re overthinking it.

if you don’t believe it, then you don’t believe it. that’s fine. me either, since i believe (just like you seem to) in science and provable reality. i’m not qualified enough at all to be diagnosing anyone with anything so i wouldn’t say definitively that they are all experiencing delusions/hallucinations, but i do believe that what they are experiencing is not actually happening in the physical, tangible world since it hasn’t been proven.

BUT. imo it just doesn’t matter. it’s real to them, and it’s not helpful to share what i believe randomly without anyone asking for my opinion. the same way i’m not going to share my atheist views with random religious people simply talking about their religion. it’s just not necessary. one of my favourite ideas that i fall back to time and time again is “i don’t believe you, but i respect you”.

i can’t tell you what to believe, but i can tell you to stick to what is evidence-based if that’s what is “real” to you. that’s what’s real to me. honestly i don’t love the word “real” anyway, because it is just so subjective. who’s to say the experience they are having, that they know they are having, isn’t “real”? it is real to them. i kind of love the question “when do you tag it as unreality” because it exemplifies this so well: it’s reality to them. they wouldn’t, because they don’t believe it to be unreality. i just know it’s not evidence-based, and i know most people would not believe in it without evidence.

Any alterhumans who are human but more? Not alterhuman as in not human. But alterhuman as in human, but also animal. Like the kin version of multi gender. 100% human and 100% other. All in one body. Idk. I’ve just never heard anyone talk about this before.

Did it!

I need to revamp this blog theme.

[humansconfusemeletmebark]

not nonhuman in an "i was a wolf a long time ago" way, but in an "i've been treated like an animal for so long that being human is a lot of work" type of way

As someone who has never understood physical nonumanity or people who say they completely ID as nonhuman (you still wear clothes? If you truly believe you are fully nonhuman, why would you wear clothes? How could you?? They can’t make clothes for animals?? You wouldn’t fit?? How do you live? You have a job? You don’t live only off of raw meat?? You’re being human right now by being on a phone/laptop/tablet???)

I think this has completely changed the way I see it.

I know a lot of people get angry when people say that therians still know they’re human. But I never understood why. Because I was like “it’s true tho??? You’re walking on 2 legs in public, and talking to people with words, and not biting and maiming people? And posting on tumblr?? How would something without hands/the ability and knowledge to use language post on tumblr??”

But that’s not what you’re saying? So that’s what people who say “therians literally aren’t human” mean?

So it’s a miscommunication about how literal the phrase is? With “therians still know they’re human” to some people meaning “therians still understand the necessity of acting humanlike in order to function in society, and the necessity of treating their body like a human’s (human diet, medical care, etc)” and to other people meaning “therians don’t actually believe they’re animals, they still know they’re normal people, they’re just pretending for fun”.

(All of this is genuine and I have no hate for nonhumans and therians -physical or otherwise-, I’m just having a revelation. This post has been so helpful I think it just dispelled years of frustration and confusion -literal rigid autistic thinking strikes again ig- about what the hell nonhuman users were talking about)

I feel like often what younger therians mean when they say ‘therians still identify as human’ is actually ‘therians understand we live in a human society and must function within our human body, despite our being not human.

Despite who we are, we still live in a society of humans. Unless you have (with all hope and luck) moved of the grid and into nature and live amongst the animals, we will have to preform human tasks in order to survive. That is just simply a given for any person within a human body, human or not.

We understand we must pay taxes. We understand we must go to work and school. We understand we must care for our human bodies despite how incorrect they may be. We understand that we will interact with humans, and doing so typically requires us to preform human.

What they have yet to understand is the point is to be as animalistic as possible. If I get stabbed, I’m not just going to lick my wounds and bleed out. I’m going to get in my human car and take my human bleeding to the human hospital so they can fix me as they would a human. We can still preform human and we understand we must. However that does not mean we cannot act as animalistic as possible. Everything I have just listed above can probably be altered a little bit to most accommodate for us. We can wear a tail and go outside in nature with our laptop when we do our taxes. Those who can work can find jobs that are closely related to their kins. At school you can find likeminded people, develop a safe group for everyone to express their animal nature when not doing work. We can draw paws on our feet. We can bark. We can go on rollercoaster and try so hard to pretend we are flying. We can do human things in animalistic nature, and that is ok, and that is the goal.

We are not human, we are whatever creature we say we are. It was not our choice to live in this human world. If we could pick I know most of us would choose differently. But we do live in this world. And we will respect that, but we will also live as truly to ourselves while doing so. And that cannot be stopped.

‘Therians don’t identify as animals’ I feel is young therians trying to say what I just said. In their attempt to do, make antis understand this, they said something extremely incorrect and extremely bad for furthering our normalization in society.

Side note: this, both my claim and what the younger therians think, also leaves people who DONT understand all these things in the dark, with no representation, or love and acceptance towards them and their lived experience. I need to understand their perspectives a bit more before I can make any conclusions on where they fit in this conversation. All I knows is this leaves them out, and they should not be left out.

Plz add on with any additional thoughts/comments or any points I was incorrect on and need to be re-educated. But also plz be nice I’m very sensitive to criticism.

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

[humansconfusemeletmebark]

"I bet your parents hate you because you're a therian"

My mom sends me videos of foxes asking if that's me. Think again.
