Thank you so much for explaining 🫶🫶

Sssso I want to educate myself. I know absolutely nothing about psychical alterhuman identities (lycanthropy, zoanthropy, holotheres, ect.). I was misinformed this whole time that therians/otherkins/otherlinks, ect. are just non-psychical. But after spending 2 years in the alterhuman community on Tumblr, I got to know that some of us are psychically a non-human being.

I don't really understand it. But damn, this seems like an interesting topic!!

So, if you experience psychical theriantrophy/otherkinnity in any way - PLEASE write in reblog/comment about your experience. I'm ready to learn, ready to get to know more information!! Also, you can DM me about this, if you don't want to share it with others. Just pls, don't spread misinformation on purpose :<

Hello! :O

Xenogenders are for me like "oh, I really like this thing, I feel a strong bond with it!"

But my alterhuman identities are "that's me. I identify as this being/thing"

So, for me at least: xenogenders = strong connection, way of self expression, a way to describe my gender

Alterhumanity = an identity, a way of describing myself

I hope that I "explained" it right :>

(also, I'm not an otherkin of an object/plant/ect. But I'm kinfluid and my fluid kintypes are sometimes something other than an animal/character)

xenogender alterhumans / alterbeings / nonhumans, how do you recognize if something is your gender and not the identity? I mean obviously when someone experiences shifts it's easy to tell, but how about objectkins ? conceptkins? plantkins? Do you just vibe with something like "oh yeah, my gender definitely looks like that", or there's a little more detailed explanation for yourself? I'm just curious, I think it as really interesting because I'm not a xenogender by myself :]

Dear alterhumans:

It's ok if you don't know your _type

It's ok if you get your _type wrong

It's ok if you don't do quadrobics because of your disorder/disability

It's ok when you don't have money for gear or you don't feel like making it yourself

It's ok if your handmade gear doesn't look as you want it to look like. Practice makes perfect!

It's ok if you don't have/don't need gear

It's ok if you don't tell anyone about your identity

It's ok if you don't have the fairycore/goblincore aesthetic

It's ok if you experience/don't experience species dysphoria

It's ok if you enjoy/don't enjoy your alterhumanity

It's ok if you have a common/uncommon _type

It's ok if your identity is volontary

🤎🤎🤎

Alex lore, aka my alterhuman journey!

Hello, hello! This is my full alterhuman journey, which I think didn't end yet.

(written in: 22nd Oct 2024)

My childhood

Even in early stage of my childhood, I already knew that I was an alien. Memories, feeling apart from humanity. Crying and praying to get back to my planet. Drawing my memories. Drawing places from my planet with chalk outside. I knew everything.

I was also having other nonhuman traits, but they were a sign of me being kinfluid .

2 years ago

I discovered the term "therian" on the internet, so I started doing reaserch. At first, I thought, that my theriotypes back then were stable. I thought, that I had these theriotypes: black cat, norwegian forest cat, breviceps frog abd fennec fox. But something was wrong: as I discovered "new" theriotypes, the previous ones faded away. So I did more reaserch, I got to know many terms and definitions. One day, I finally stated: I'm kinfluid.

A few months ago

I discovered that my alien kintype is stable. I thought that my Ticci Toby kintype is stable, but I was wrong: it faded away after some time.

1 month ago

I chose 3 linktypes: canines and frogs (clado-link) and a space angelic being. I also found out that I'm a quoiian: my quoitypes are a lynx, barn owl, and a whooper swan.

[alex-the-alterhuman]

I randomly had a phantom shift at school🫤 and I have mixed feelings about it.

[alex-the-alterhuman]

Which shifts do I experience? How?

Note: this is just my experience! Yours can be completly different! Also, sorry for my bad English :P

Mental shifts

Intensity: 5/10

Frequency: 6/10

I experience mental shifts mostly with my fluid kin/theriotypes (I'm kinfluid) or the lynx therio/quoitype. They are not very intense, and are mostly a good experience.

Phantom shifts

Intensity: 9/10

Frequency: 6/10

Sometimes they're enjoyable, sometimes not. The phantom parts I get most often are: paws, tail, ears, sometimes wings and rarely hair (hair from my space angelic being) (I have a buzzcut).

Bi-local shifts

Intensity: 8/10

Frequency: 2/10

Bi-local shifts in my case happen only if willingly triggered, although they are very intense. They happen in my room or in the pool. It feels like I'm bodily in my room/the pool, but mentally I'm in my natural habitat.

Dream shifts

Intensity: 0/10

Frequency: 0/10

I didn't know why, but I don't experience this kind of shifts right now, although I used to experience them in my childhood

Sensory shifts

Intensity: 0/10

Frequency: 0/10

I have no idea what it's like to have a sensory shift, because I never had one.

Perception shifts

Intensity: 7/10

Frequency: 5/10

I only experience this kind of shifts with my alien kintype. It's a weird feeling - like I'm seperated from the human society.

Emotional shifts

Intensity: 6/10

Frequency: 3/10

Again, it's just with my alien kintype. Mostly caused by sadness.

Spiritual shifts

Intensity: 0/10

Frequency: 0/10

My alterhumanity is psychological, so I don't experience spiritual shifts.

Vocal shifts

Intensity: 2/10

Frequency: 8/10

Usually small groans or whines, not really noticable.

Also, this isn't a specific character, it's just some random girl lol

[alex-the-alterhuman]

[alex-the-alterhuman]

Found a bingo on Pinterest, decided to do it :3

*canine - it's my linktype, but it's very similar to theriantrophy

*species dysphoria - I'm kinfluid and sometimes I experience it, sometimes not.

*secret - not on the internet, but secret irl.

[alex-the-alterhuman]

New pfp :3

this is what I spent my last 30 minutes on lol

[alex-the-alterhuman]

It doesn't really bother me, because I kind of am childlish, but I agree: not all alterhumans are like this.

I really don't like viewing alterhumanity as ONLY bad or ONLY silly.

Everyone has different experience, some therians don't experience theriantrophy well, some otherkins are adults, who take their identity seriously, some otherhearted ppl find it silly and fun.

I've seen this many times of tiktok, where ppl spread dumb things.

"oghh, being a therian is so bad, trust me, you don't want to be a therian" nuh uh. For YOU it's a bad experience, what if I find my alterhumanity fun? What if someone doesn't experience species dysphoria? What if someone doesn't miss their natural habitat?

We are all different. We are all valid. Sharing your experience is not bad, but making your experience a "standard" is.

Possibly really petty complaint, but is anyone else really annoyed by the way a lot of people seem to be talking about nonhumans in a very infantilizing way?

Like all the posts going around that sweepingly refer to all of us as "silly creatures", "little critters", "silly animals doing their silly tasks", "just a creechur", etc? I feel like I've been seeing a lot of posts in the vein of like, "How could anyone hate therians? You're all just silly little animals doing buppy things typing with your big silly paws!" or similar.

And more power to you if you like being referred to that way, but I don't. It leaves a similar taste in my mouth to those old posts about trans men that are like "sweet little angelic cinnamon roll soft uwu boy!!! Trans men are little innocent boyes and I will protecc them all :3". And I think everyone sees the problem with those now.

I am a grown man. An adult wild animal. And while I don't need to take myself seriously, or even be taken seriously, all of the time, I sure don't like being referred to like a dumb little animal that doesn't know what it's doing as a default.

[alex-the-alterhuman]

I am pretty confused about my sexuality.

I feel sexual attraction towards men, and men only.

But then, there comes a day where I think about a woman this way.

Am I abrosexual or something??

[alex-the-alterhuman]

Sooo, space?

My alien kintype comes from space and my angelic linktype also does, so here's some things that I do (or want to do) to connect to my _types!

Space ambient music playlists! They are good for meditation and in my case triggering shifts. To get the full awesome experience go out or look outside your window at night and listen to those playlists!

There are some special lamps that make the walls in your room look like space. I never tested these (because I'm poor lol), but they seem effective.

Space-themed decoration/clothing/jewelry! Like, planets hanging from your ceilling, those galaxy shirts, or maybe some pins! I have an alien pin that says "I want to leave", and I love wearing it.

Go to space-themed museums!

Pretty simple, but also a nice detail: your phone wallpaper or your keyboard background could be a beautiful picture of space!

Check out some documentary videos about space.

Maybe some POV "you are in space" videos?

That's all I could think of when it comes to space-related 'types.

I hope that I helped and have a nice day!🫶

Man do I hate when I can’t find any tips for my kins, so I go to asks that are open and accept requests for tips. Then just never get a response! 😭

Man I know they’re busy, and probably have lots of others and it’s just taking a while to get to mine. But I really suck at waiting! I want tips and help!

I just want some advice and help to figure out myself, and I want some tips for my life and gear.

I know they’re busy! But I just see so many tips for like less rare kins, and I’m just sad cause I can’t find any for my kins.

My kins are also really specific, but still. I want to see tips for space embodiments, fallen angels who have lost their wings, fallen angels who don’t care for heaven anymore, ink sans kins, ink sans kins who are friends with the bad sanses, and tips for ockins!

My other kin I gotta specifically ask for cause he’s really really rare (as in I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who kins him)

I just want some tips for more rare ones.

For my people who aren’t the typical one of their kin

Give us some love yall! I just want some tips!

[alex-the-alterhuman]

On the jewelry making classroom I made a ring with eyes on it an it really helps me with connecting to my linktype. Unfortunately, I can't share my irl photos here, but it it looks amazing!
