To all of the transspecies creatures mentioning growing out their claws: taking biotin will make them stronger and less likely to break. I am not sure if it makes them grow faster or if that is my imagination. I have been filing them carefully into points, and while they do break, it is not constant.

Do be careful, though. Whenever you scratch an itch, you have to remember that your claws are sharp and will cause real damage if you do not pay attention. I am making this post because I did not pay enough attention to the sharpness of my claws, and the pain reminded me that others may make this mistake as well.

If you do end up getting cut, please be sure to wash with soap and water, and keep an eye on it in case of infection. If there is an infection, tell a parent and/or go to a doctor.

And one more thing: long claws mean that things can get caught on them or stuck under them more easily. So if you are like me and enjoy sewing, be careful, because needles hurt when they get under your nails. (I will be fine, do not worry)

Not a dog because they're cute or loyal or excitable or whatever. Dog because I get sad my spine isn't long enough to curl around right, because my stimming wiggles feel incomplete without a tail, because running up stairs on all fours gives me euphoria for a while, because I growl when I'm angry and whine when I need, because when I feel my ears twitch and perk I know they aren't, because of the everpresent ache when people touch my face and I have no muzzle for them to caress

I can’t be the only nonhuman who actually feels lucky, rather than enraged, to be given a human life.

Compared to a real deer/coyote, I have so much more time to look at the world than I usually would. Additionally, I can build up the means to see more of it than I ever expected. As a real deer, I probably would never have made it to the Grand Canyon and both coasts in the same lifetime. Also, as a human, the world has been changed to benefit the life I was given. I know what cars are, and I know how to avoid them. I can always eat, even if it’s cold. If I get sick or hurt, I can take medicine. I snuggle in my blankets at night and I can use my phone to learn about what other creatures are doing.

For other deer/coyotes, the life I have is a pipe dream. Maybe it’s just because both of my theriotypes are hunted & hit by cars all the time, or maybe it’s because I’m not a spiritual therian, but as much as I wish I could see my antlers in the mirror, that discomfort pales in comparison to the warmth of a human life.

being a psychological therian due to being trans and nuerodivergent is so interesting. like when i was growing up i was rlly like "why do i feel so wrong in my body?" "why am i so fixated on animals?" "why do i feel such a big disconnect from people?" "why do i get treated so different?"

and like all these years later ive found the only logical conclusion . Dog

been thinking about the possibility of alterhuman forcemasc recently. when your masculinity and alterhumanity are so wound up in one another that they become indistinguishable. when the hair growth from t feels like fur and the growl in your throat feels like the low voice of a man. can anyone hear me
