my mum doesn't even realise she's otherkin lol

my entire life she's referred to herself as a pixie, and today i told her there's an entire community of people like her, who identify as pixies and fairies and whatnot.

her response? "i'm not like them because they just identify as pixies. i am a pixie." oh girl...

Species Dysphoria Flag

[pt: Species Dysphoria Flag /end pt]

Species Dysphoria - A condition in which a person feels that their body is of the wrong species. Many with this condition believe it is because their body does not reflect their inner identity. As a result of this, the person may feel discomfort or confusion.

For all the Feline-kin out there..

You are stronger than you believe and what others may think.. let their harsh, cruel words and their idiocy roll off your pelt like raindrops in the springtime.

What you feel matters, and you are real.

Your claws are sharp, your teeth gleam in the moonlight, and your eyes shine in the darkest of night.

Common cat or rare cat, big cat or little cat or something in between.. pet cat, wild cat, feral cat, owned or not, that’s all okay! You are still a cat!

Hold your head up proud, all you cool cats out there! RRAOOOORRR!!

chat noir/adrien:

-refers to himself as a cat frequently

-frequently enough that others also call him a cat (especially ladybug)

-can and does scamper around on all fours like a feral little man even whilst not transformed

-has canonically purred and meowed

-knows cat facts (see kuro neko where he talks about cats liking grass because it helps with their digestion)

-calls his costume's belt his tail on more than occasion (and iirc teasingly gets mad when ladybug steals it for a plan)

-is a cat therian

why do people want to separate humans from animals so bad. "you cant identify as an animal!!" news flash buddy, you're an animal too

[lombaxkin]

This is as close as I could get it with the tools on offer, would love if the creator would add more layers for tail patterns, give the option for the ears to be two different colours so that I could create a better representation of my calico self, but this will do and it looks cute :3

Just made my cat 'type in this picrew and aaaa I'm feeling so euphoric loook it's meeee

My Little Ponykin Flags

-> IDs in alt text <-

Made different flags! I'm an MLP alter and was bored. I'm new to this whole alterhuman thing, but I decided why not.

These are for people who kin any MLP characters! This is the kind of layout that will be used for character specific flags.

“If you wanna act like an animal, I'll treat you like one. "

You have. For years, I am different than the other kids on the playground, I like to read and draw, I probably barked or meowed once or twice as a kid, I may have even hissed at you when you upset me. Why did I do all of those things? Because, I was a little neurodivergent kid who hadn't learned how to act in public when I was little. Middle school hits, and I have only slightly changed, I won't hiss at you anymore but I am still weird, I'm too much for most people, I start to trail behind people like a lost dog, I start to get rewarded when I do something they like but yelled at when something I do upsets them, And even then I would take the blame even if it was their fault. It's high school now. I'm loud. I'm mean, I'm different than the others, I'm neurodivergent and I'm alternative and I don't take shit from most people,

So I became the animal that bites.

But while you were watching me become the mean dog, I was already there. I told my entire family that I was a cat. I had family who treated me like a cat! I had a cousin who would pet me, not in a weird way, she never did anything bad. But I would get cradled and I was given different foods that resembled cat food or dog food, take those Scooby cracker things for example! I loved those, while you were bullying me I was imagining what it would be like to run around in the woods as a wolf, Or what it would be like if I was a little cat, and sometimes when you would startle me I would hiss at you, lost in thought and terrified of human interaction. I had my grandmother ask if I was still gonna do this when I was older, an what would my husband think? Well... I'm dating another alterhuman now. Which is what I told her I'd do anyway, so! Here I am!

My point is, no matter how hard I've tried I've never felt human. So much so that as a kid I recognized, "I'm not like these people." my alterhumanity stems from Neurodivergence, My trauma, My not fitting in with people, and honestly I love being able to slap this label on. I loved knowing there were people like me! I wish I would've learned about it sooner. I remember seeing the "on all levels except physical, I am a wolf" vine and Being like. That's SO COOL!!?

And I will always chuckle at the "Well! .. You don't have to become an animal because of that stuff!" like no fuck off you're so anti fun and coping and you're just boring!!! The community has its flaws, but It certainly has its perks. I wouldn't have met some really amazing people if I hadn't learned about it!

I love being an animal and expressing myself

Copingkin

Copingkin is a combination of the terms copinglink and otherkin. A copinglink is often formed voluntarily, but someone who is copingkin did not choose their kintype, but rather identifies as their kintype as an involuntary consequence of certain traumas, life experiences, or neurodivergencies.

[disclaimer: please only use this term if you have had serious life experiences that could lead to identifying as this, such as trauma and/or being neurodivergent]

Trauma Copingkin

Someone who is trauma copingkin is someone who is copingkin due to trauma. Their trauma may be physical, s*xual, emotional, medical, religious, etc. Since individual experiences vary, what constitutes ‘trauma’ in this case is up to the individual.

Neurodivergent Copingkin

Someone who is neurodivergent copingkin is someone who is copingkin due to neurodivergence (click the link to learn more). Any sort of experience with neurodivergency could potentially lead to someone identifying as neurodivergent copingkin.

Trauma + Neurodivergent Copingkin

The terms can be used together. Someone who is both might have trauma that resulted in neurodivergency, experiences from being neurodivergent that resulted in trauma, or any other sort of experience that combines both trauma and neurodivergency. Someone might also identify as both separately. For example, someone could identify as neurodivergent wolfkin and trauma robotkin. Alternatively, someone who sees the two things as connected (maybe due to them being neurodivergent because of trauma itself, becasuse they see their trauma and neurodivergence as one condition, or any other related reason) may identify as trauma neurodivergent catkin, for example.

Copingkin can also be combined with other terms such as therian and fictionkin to form terms such as ficticopingkin, coping therian, coping theriomythic, etc.

Coined by me and @iam-zan !!

Someone approached us with this link. We were not aware of this! It’s an archived link and you can’t find it when you search for “copingkin” on Google (hence why we ‘coined’ it ourselves). We will be leaving the post up so more people know this term exists, however consider it UPDATED, not coined!

[lombaxkin]

yeah you're nonhuman but you were raised in a human society and therefore your relationship with animals is going to be limited. you cannot assume you instinctively can understand and communicate with animals. please respect local wildlife and do your research I am on my hands and knees
