#clinical dracothropy

Being a dragon is tough because people give you the usual shit for being nonhuman, but then there’s the additional implication that it’s just some quirky internet kinnie shit, because according to humans, dragons don’t exist.

This is not fun. My every waking moment is informed by growing scales, wings, my backbone hurting from tail transformations, I feel every day like I should be somewhere else. It HURTS. The person I see in the mirror is only a shell.

My non CZ identities don’t even line up, that’s how seperate it is.

I have internal nonhuman identities, and external nonhuman identities.

Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they do not. My external clinical zoanthropy can inform my internal identity, and vice versa.

In saying that, my CZ and other non-CZ related identities are NOT the same experience.
