people are free to label themselves how they please, but I do think it'd be good for some furries who really really want to be their fursona, or otherwise turn animal/creature, to learn about the terms alterhuman/alterbeing, otherkin, and therian. if you want to be beast so bad, maybe consider you already are beast? take my clawed hand, I can show you a world of possibilities and freedoms

The amount of species envy I get when I walk down the pet isle at stores is insane.

[pipfitzam0bi]

I just found out my kin is a closed species, and someone on yt just made a post about my ocs saying they're not allowed ecc...

WHY MAKE A COOL SPECIES, JUST TO BLOCK IT?

Fuck closed species.

They're limiting the creativity and liberty of others.

Who's with me?

You're not stopping me from being who I am!

Voidkin culture is really liking dreams because they truly are a microcosm of the void. Creativity, and perhaps slight madness, born from complete nothing. A soul stimulates itself. The void is not really a place of nothing, it is only so as a canvas. Infact it allows for the most abstract and impossible to take form.

Past life earthly nonhuman poll

I always hear normies use this stereotype of what nonhumans are sooo

So even if u are a Earthly nonhuman, are you even spiritual and use past lives as explanation?

even amoung earthly nonhumans, which are the sterotypical nonhuman posterchild for normies and get tossed as the first example for gp, lets find out if the past life stuff is the majority or ties with other things. Let's find out !

Clarification: for earthly nonhumans. This is to see if that sterotypical normie saying "most nonhumans just identify as nonhuman bc they believe they were a (usually earthly) animal in a past life" is true lol

I have brain fog so don't expect a perfect poll guys I'm not a scientist.

"human rights" no, animals and creatures and plants and beings and humanoids of all kind should be getting those rights. we are just as sentient and filled with a will and right to live as you are. even if we arent all human <3 that includes bio-animals and non bio-animals alike

(idk what the terms are called or what terms should be used im not caught up on all the new stuff sorry)

What the fuck? Many of the first therians were physical therians, some of which experienced physical shifts. They have been around since the beginning and have been ignored since the beginning. It is very possible to be physically non-human and a therian because physical therianthropy has been around as long as the modern definition. Physical therianthropy will not be erased by bigots in our own community. Therianthropy has always included physical aspects, but there has also always been bigoted therians who invalidate it to seem more "acceptable" because that's really the only reason to do it. They only care about being more acceptable to non-therianthropes. This is bullshit.

okay, we are making this post so we can pin it to avoid any confusion.

lets make it clear,

therianthropy is an internal identity and has never included physical nonhumanity. from its origin in the 1990s through communities like alt.horror.werewolves, The Werelist, and Project Shift, therianthropy has always described a psychological or spiritual identification with a nonhuman animal. therians understand they are physically human. this is not optional or up for interpretation- it is a core part of what the word means.

Project Shift's guide (archived): "Therians are not delusional. We do not believe we are physically nonhuman."

Therian Guide: "Being a therian does not mean you believe you are physically an animal."

The Werelist FAQ: "Therians recognize they are human beings in body, even if they identify as animals in some internal sense."

claims of being physically nonhuman contradict the fundamental definition of therianthropy. they are not valid within the community and cannot be reconciled with the term. no matter how someone feels, it is not possible to be physically nonhuman and a therian at the same time. allowing that belief under the therian label misrepresents our identity and disrespects the decades of meaning built around it.

for these reasons, we do not consider "physical therians" part of the therian community, and we do not allow those beliefs in our spaces. there are so many other labels out there, and nobody is stopping anyone from coining a new one. obviously we can't stop anyone from calling themself a physical therian, but this is OUR PAGE and we do not validate that here. so respect our dni and keep out. thank you

Remember to take breaks.

Your paws are tired, little beast. Rest your legs.

Your claws have put in their work for today. Let them be idle if they must.

Your wings have carried you far, flying friend. They need to recharge.

Your teeth have brought you through tough times. Rest your jaws, as their job is never over.

Your eyes have shown you the world and beyond. Show them solace if just for a few minutes.

If not you, who will care for your body? And what of your soul? Your entire being needs its time. Don't deny it.

theyll say this to anything im sure

I'm so tempted to say 'I'm going to go have a bird bath.' rather than 'I'm going to go have a bath/shower.'

Gotta get my feathers clean somehow so why not call it something euphoric to me. This has been in the back of my mind since I already call my bed my nest.

therian confusion/misinformation makes me irrationally angry.

just saw a tiktok of someone saying they would disown their child for identifying as an animal (weird thing to post by the way) and it just irked me.

all the comments were attempting to defend therians by saying things like, “i'm a therian and all of us know we're humans,” “only insane people truly believe they're animals,” and, “the only therians i've seen are teens and kids!” ...

hi! i'm an adult therian who fully believes that it's a canine. i'm not a human in any way. vague and blanket statements such as those shown above are extremely harmful to the community.

physical therians are valid. “insane” and “delusional” therians are valid. adult therians are valid.

respect those within your community, you're one of us. you are not better than us just because you accept being a human.
