Reminder that, no matter what, if you ever find yourself reducing an issue to "Us vs Them", you need to stop right there and take a look where you're heading. If you genuinely can't think about something without dehumanizing people in some capacity, maybe you shouldn't be thinking about that thing.

Dehumanization is the single most powerful justifier of atrocity and hatred there is, and the one thing you should never tolerate is intolerance. There is no good or justified form of dehumanization. Ever.

We fall into it because it's easy. If you think you're somehow above falling for the temptations of taking that mental shortcut, you're more susceptible than ever.

Another thing on misinformation is that being a Therian makes someone act like an animal when it's the other way around for most. Most are a Therian because of the way they are.

Being a Therian didn't make me a cat, being a cat made me a Therian

Some basics about alterhumans, otherkin, and therianthropes

Alterhuman is not another word for nonhuman. It’s not another word for otherkin, either. Alterhuman is an umbrella term for therianthropes, otherkin, nonhumans, and more. It can also be for some who do identify as human, just in some unusual ways. The word alterhuman is short for alternatively human. It was coined by Lio of the Crossroads System in 2014. Its purpose was so all of these kinds could unite under a word, without erasing what makes each one distinct.

The otherkin and therianthrope communities started without any relation to each other. The word otherkin was coined in the year 1990 in the Elfkind Digest mailing list. Its participants were elves, dragons, dwarves, wolves, and more. That’s where the otherkin community started.

Elsewhere, the therianthrope community started in 1993, in an internet group for fans of werewolf stories, alt.horror.werewolves. The participants started talking about how they related to those stories. Therianthropes are often kinds of animals that live on Earth, but not all of them are.

Later, in the late 1990s and 2000s, the communities of otherkin and therianthropes started to mingle because of what they have in common with each other. The two still exist side by side, with their own distinct qualities, and so do many other sorts of alterhumans.

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

Do you need trauma to be diagnosed with DID?

This blog post is not psychiatric advice. For that, you must ask your psychiatrist.

The DSM is the book that psychiatrists use to diagnose DID. The DSM's current diagnostic criteria for DID don't require trauma (DSM-5-TR, p. 331).

Is that new? No. No version of the DSM has ever required trauma for DID. That goes all the way back to when the DSM first had an entry for MPD, before they renamed the disorder (DSM-III, p. 259).

Do some psychiatrists use a different book for diagnosing DID? Yes, the ICD-11. Its essential features for DID don't require trauma, either.
