#Transspecies

[the-otherspace]

Transspecies does not hurt us in the slightest. And I really shouldn't have to also point out that I'm anti-radqueer, but I have to for people like you. I am anti-radqueer.

Don't compare harmless identities to radqueer ideology. That's not cool at all.

I find it really confusing how people still believe that transpecies is just a term to mock/hurt transgender people. Like... those two experiences are so incredibly similar to one another for most people.

Example:

You identify as something you weren't assigned as at birth due to your biology

You experience dysphoria/euphoria about your appearance

You may (wish to) change you physical body to fit your true identity

You may (wish to) have people use different terminology to refer to you

These descriptions fit both transpecies and transgender individuals. They're practically the same identity, just one dealing with gender and the other dealing with species.

"But gender is a social construct, your species is biological!"

...Okay buddy. Sure, 'species' in the sense of your literal DNA is biological, but your species identity doesn't have to match that. Same way your sex doesn't have to match your gender. It's the age old fact: identity ≠ biology.

"But you can't transition to become an animal!"

Since when do you need to medically transition to be trans? Last time I checked, I don't need a dick for you to respect my identity as a trans guy. By your own logic, I shouldn't need a tail for you to respect me as a fox. Just because you can't physically achieve a certain look does not mean your identity isn't valid. This absolutely applies to both transpecies and transgender folks.

what people think when I say im a dragon vs what i actually am

Honestly, being a changeling is so trans. The child you expected vs the child you actually got

im a wolfkin/were.

what i do to aide dysphoria is using it/its pronouns and correcting those when they use other pronouns. i wear a collar with my pronouns and names on the tag. i wear a locally and ethically sourced coyote tail as of now, (cause it looks more like a wolf tail than fox tails do) and when my ears come in (faux) i will also wear those. i actively call myself a wolf/were and correct others who call me human. i dress in an animalsitic way, my battle jacket is full of wolf symbolism. i wear big boots with paws drawn on. using nonhuman language is also nice, things like barking howling growling, scent rubbing, pawing at my partner, using "puppy eyes" etc.

when possible i will also start Testosterone HRT, which will help with hair growth and voice changes which will help me growl easier.

i will also get no-nip top surgery, mostly cause it feels more nonhuman. i might get 8 nipples tattooed on instead of 2.

also when i pack i use animalistic packers.

now of course be careful who you correct and who you call yourself nonhuman around. you dont always have to be out to others but it sure does help with dysphoria!

transspecies folks-

if you are actively transitioning/aiding your species dysphoria, what are you doing? be specific please.

"so what, if someone identifies as a dog you're going to call them a dog?"

Yes

the nonhuman urge to get teeth modifications💔 they’re not pointy enough. not sharp enough. not good enough for tearing off massive chunks of meat. i want to smile and for people to see my sharp, menacing fangs glinting in the moonlight. i want them to poke my gums, and when i twist my head and smile, it makes everyone’s guts squirm around like rabid worms. i want to be frightening. more frightening than the dawn after a moonless night. or more beautiful then the moon shining her soft rays down to caress your broken face after a blistering day. not just my teeth, but my claws as well. i have been robbed of my natural beauty, my sharp points and alarming presence in this humanly existence, and i need them back.

"Wanting animal genitals is gross"

"Having an animal packer is weird"

"Having species dysphoria like this is not normal"

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

You're narrow view of Therianthropy will only bring the entire community down. You're doing nothing but throwing your own community under the bus. Therianthropy is like an actual fucking identity that can affect someons whole life. It can affect the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Why is it such a shocker that someone who believes they where born in the wrong body and is ment to be an animal might want to do things that make there body look more animal-like!?!?!?!

You think this is bad? Wait until you find out about the tattoos some of us get 😂

Sorry you think that species dysphoria is just wanting ears and a tail.

Sorry that you can't gasp the idea that someone who identifies as an animal might have species dysphoria from their genitals.

Sorry you didn't grasp the idea of actually feeling like you should have a different body that is not human until now.

Sorry that Therianthropy isn't just a connection and dress up.

To any creature that feels ashamed of their inhuman desires, don’t be.

Wolves will always feel hunger.

Lions will always crave the chase.

Vampires have always drank blood.

Dragons have always burned their enemies.

Hunters itch for the hunt.

Be yourself, even if yourself is abnormal and disgusting.

Bare your teeth and snarl. You are not alone

this picture made me realize just how much I do want to live in a little cave even if it isn't as aesthetic as this is

[flinnirthefruityfiend]

demons, fantasy creatures, deities, OC alterhumans, etc. where would you live? house, den, etc, and what would it look like?

just thought of this last night/earlier, but i kind of wondered what my den would look like. i'm not asking for climate or terrain necessarily, just like your home that you sleep in.

i'm not completely sure myself, but i think i'd sleep in some cave. preferably a rock cave that i'd clean up so there isn't like dust and debris all over the ground. maybe like a rock based burrow?

this is just where i'd sleep, but i think my house would be more elaborate than that. so i'd probably have other structures around my sleeping cave like this. not human level structures but something simple, something surrounding my cave. i'm less sure of this though.

"alterhumans only identify as animals on a nonphysical level!!" EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER

my body is that of an animal. it is the body of a fox, of an ocelot, of a shapeshifter, because its my body and i am those things. i understand that im percieved as human because of my body, but that doesn't make my body human. if im percieved as a girl because of my body, does that make it a girl's body? no, because it's not. it's mine. other's perceptions of me don't change who i am. i am physically nonhuman because this is MY BODY, and you will not take it away from me.

what winter feels like as an alterhuman ..
