#nonhuman spirituality

[mxmorbidmidnight]

I am quite curious about what religions make up the nonhuman community. Let this be a place for respectful and educational conversation.

[winged-on-earth]

"my kintype is due to trauma!" "my kintype is spiritual!" cool cool cool mines just here. No idea why or how. Just is. I am just draogn :]

[tranquilwilds]

I have recently seen a few posts hating on those who spiritually connect to their kintypes/theriotypes/etc. Addressing this felt important.

We are meant to be an inclusive community. Do not allow a false sense of superiority allow you to feel as if you are above people in the same community as you. Everyone here is hated on by outside people enough, we have to stick together and stop trying to tear our community apart. It is only achieving infighting and spreading our community far too thin.

Physical therians/otherkin/nonhumans are valid and belong here. Spiritual therians/otherkin/nonhumans are valid and belong here. Those who identify in all sorts of ways belong here and are valid.

Stop distancing yourself from the only ones that will truly have your back.

hate it when alterhumans assume “spiritual therian” automatically means “had past lives”

there are other kinds of spirituality!! you can be spiritual and not believe in past lives, or not believe you had one! your spirituality is YOUR spirituality and you can define it however you want. if being a spiritual therian is a label that you believe suits you, then it’s your label.

nonhuman because I was born this way.

spiritually, I was destined to be this way.

psychologically, I am more suited to be this way.

physically, I am more aligned with being this way.

emotionally, I am happier this way.

dysphorically, I long to be this way.

biologically, I need to be this way.

logically, I was born this way.

no DNI, but BYI: i support palestine/endos/xenos/neos/mogai/good faith but am not comfy with unethical factkin/harmful paraphiles/radqueers/darkship/transids/gen AI/taxidermy/nsfw accounts

[copperrust]

genuinely every single expression of nonhumanity is so beautiful

i love therians and otherkin spiritual psychological or otherwise

i love otherhearteds and copinglinks

i love physical nonhumans of all kinds including zooanthropes endels and holotheres

i love alterhumans

i love real-life and fictional theriotypes

i love animal-related xenogenders and neopronouns

i love connecting to nonhumanity or being nonhuman due to neurodivergence

i love nonhumans due to delusions or trauma

i love furries and i love people who feel like their true selves wearing a fursuit

i love pups and horseplayers and queer people whose sexuality is connected to their nonhumanity

i love people who are fully 100% nonhuman and i love people whose nonhumanity is wearing cat ears and a tail

i love puppygirls and catboys and werewolves

i love people who connect nonhumanity with them being outside traditional gender norms

i love how making a human-lion was one of the first product of artistry ever made by humans (and the oldest statue that we discovered)

(this is mostly animal-focused but i love people connected to flora and still life and machines too and everything related to that)

we see ourselves in everything around us as if it were our reflection

first time wearing my mask in public and a bunch of kids asked to take a pic with me ! one of the girls said "I love gay people" as they walked away 😭

note: I apologize if the alt text isn't sufficient, I'm very new to this !

i am so tired of seeing people calling therianthropy spiritual. sure, for some people it is, but this is not a spiritual exclusive experience. it is psychological, it is physical, and it is spiritual. not everyone has a past life they’re connected with. people need to stop being exclusive in their terminology

[theverynothumankai]

i’ve been watching a lot of nonhuman shorts on youtube lately, and i feel the need to say that i’m quite sad (and then pissed off cuz of that) about how many of them are just skinny, in-shape young kids (around my age or a few years younger than me).

i wanna see my fellow chubby out of shape teens who don’t do quads that often, because of how out of shape and chubby they are, even if they love quads.

i wanna see my fellow out of shape teens who pull a muscle when doing quads, or are out of breath right away, or are completely sore afterwards for days.

i wanna see my fellow chubby teens who’s quads are clumsy and not graceful because we have all that extra weight on us.

i wanna see my fellow queer chubby teens who bind and who don’t do quads that often cuz their chest doesn’t stay in place right or stay flat and it makes them feel gender dysphoria.

i wanna see my fellow chubby, out of shape teens doing this stuff. or not even teens! anyone of any age! that isn’t skinny as hell and that isn’t in shape!

i just would like to see some more nonhumans like me please.

yeah, that’s about all. *goes to lay down in my little den again*

Ambihuman

(Am- be- human)

A term for those who fall outside of the binary of either being human or nonhuman. This could because of many reasons for example:

* A shapeshifter whose scope of mimicry is so complex that most of the time they are either both, or, not human and human.

* A person who is physically non-human but is mentally human (or vise-versa) and cannot place themselves on the binary.

* A person who doesn’t quite feel human or non-human

* A person who is void of any identity so they aren’t anything.

[deitynile]

this has definitely been said countless of times by other beings, but being at work while in a kin shift is so funny. these individuals don't know they had an entire ass dragon staple their papers.

[teabo]

I love the thought of insane alterhuman identities so here's some thingymabobs y'all have never even considered (with visuals bc idk names YAAA)

Quick survey question:

Alterhumans, otherkin, therians, fictionkin, etc., if you have talked about your identity to a therapist or other mental health professional, how did it go?

I mainly ask for myself since I’m hopefully starting therapy soon and these identities and community have been such a huge part of my life for almost a decade so like, I kinda really wanna talk about it at least somewhat lol.

If you see this after the poll runs out pls just respond in the replies :)

BEING YOU DOES NOT NEED ANY RULES!!!

AAAAA

You can be an alterhuman while still feeling content with being in a human body!

You can use terms or not, relate to certain situations or not, and it doesn’t make you any less than what you already are! You’re you and that will stay true even if you feel like you’ve changed, no longer relate to the person you once was, or on the contrary, go back to being the being you were before. There are no limits or concrete steps you must take, as it’s all just part of existence!

Being uncomfortable with things others don’t see problems with is fine, as even if they don’t understand, your experience is valid. Enjoying things that are unusual for the self you present is also quite alright and you shouldn’t be brought down by anyone!

you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone, nor explain why you are the way you are. Any little detail and aspect about you is allowed to exist even without a label, and should you use one, there is no obligation to fit the stereotypical definition of said term!!

you’re allowed to have unusual symptoms or strange behaviours, desires for unsettling things and fascination with harmful things! It’s all a part of you and you don’t need the praise of others to feel like you can be yourself.

You can be a therian with no past memories, be a conceptkin of an entirely new thing you have seemingly created, make up terminology that allows you to express yourself in a way that you’re more comfortable with, you can feel like you need physical attributes to validate your identity, it’s entirely fine and possible to even have species dysmorphia and be fine with still presenting human, relate to species that simply have no concrete form, be a dog and yet like licking yourself clean, be a cat and adore dogs, be a bird and yet hate the sky, be a bug and yet seem big, be a slow creature and yet love the wind in your hair, be a god and yet proudly take on the form of a mortal.

even those “unusual” things that seemingly have no presence online, you’re still valid.

Stereotypes hold no value over you and any aspect of you is still you even if it ‘doesn’t make sense’. People can relate, or they can’t. And that’s not a you-problem. It’s theirs.

You can have reasons, or not have them. It still doesn’t change the fact you can be whatever you are. No matter if others demand an explanation. The only things you should feel inclined to share are your preferences or voluntary answers. The rest? Hidden away in a little box! Nobody needs the key, why should they?
