#physical therianthropy

[bunnyboyzyon]

Just found out what physical therian actually means

I always thought it meant some part of the way your body looks lead the way to your nonhuman identity like those people who grow an excessive amount of hair on their body (Hypertrichosis). I could totally understand how that could help find your way to finding out you're a therian, especially if it lines up like excessive hair and being a dog or a bear or another animal with lots of fur you literally already have all the fur

Turns out it just means a therian who physically identifies as their theriotype. So me fully believing I physically am my theriotypes makes me a physically therian?? Because that is how I feel, this isn't a human body, not anymore. This is the body of a rabbit with some mouse features, not a human. I don't think of myself as an animal trapped in a human body, i think of myself as an animal in my body.

That being said why the fuck do I see so many people hating on physical therians and saying they're not valid?? Like you're gonna go after someone who feels their body is that of a dog or a lizard?? That is the exact same vein as transphobia. That is the same thing as a transphobe going after a trans man for feeling their body is that of a man. It's not like they're lying, they're still therians. They just feel their bodies are what fits in their head just like trans people can feel their body is that of the gender that fits in their head. Just like not every trans person feels trapped in the body of a different gender, not every therian feels trapped in the body of a human, and you're gonna go after them because they don't experience the same pains as you? What does that make you? Cruel and pathetic. It makes you cruel and pathetic to invalidate and hurt other people just because they don't feel the same type of pain you do. Fucking fix it.

Physical non-humanity is very interesting to me. While i personally don't believe you can transform into a non-human being physically, does that really matter? No, no it doesn't, as long as you are not hurting yourself or anybody else in any way, and you are keeping yourself safe, do what you want and think what you want! How you identify is not my business! And hey, who knows, i could definitely be wrong, maybe you can change your form physically, i've been wrong before. Either way, the matter isn't whether it is true, it is whether it makes you happy! If it does? Great! Live and let live. To all the physical alterhumans out there, I love you guys.

Did the whole "Don't hate what you don’t understand" lesson we were taught a million times over in children's movies go over people's heads?

This is how we should be acting

Oh, you're Muslim?

That's awesome, I'm always so inspired by your creativity in fashion!

You're pagan, and worship several pantheons at once?

That must be a lot of work! That's impressive!

You're a girl but you use he/him pronouns?

Alright, it doesn't inconvenience me at all to respect that, and it's interesting.

You're cupiromantic, so you don’t feel romantic attraction, but you still want to do romantic things?

I don't see how that's any different than an ace person who enjoys sex, or even an allo person using a dating sim game, so go right ahead!

You're a therian that physically identifies as your theriotype?

That's fascinating, how does that work?

You identify as robotkin?

That's sick as hell, tell me more!

None of these things affect me personally, and none of them inherently harm anyone. Can we please treat things with curiosity instead of anger?

BEAST

WEDNESDAYYYYYY

[your-therian-parent-says]

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.

[zadsterr]

Uhhh

Ik tumblr isnt the ideal spot for this but do we enjoy the fit/ears ?

tiktok is actually killing me

i posted a video about wanting some weird ass gear (muzzle + literal dog food) and the whole point of the video was poking fun at me being strange about what i wanted and.

there are so many comments like "um i'm a therian but this is weird :/" or "i'm a therian but like i'm NORMAL" or "i'm a therian but i don't actually think im an animal lmfao"

OHBMY GOD AHUT UP IM GOING TO START HITTING PEOPLE WITH HAMMERS. like. OH MY GOD.

i'm actually gonna TWEAK i genuinely cannot do this anymore any time someone posts about therianthropy and they're not wearing a mask or doing quadrobics or something aesthetically pleasing that doesn't imply they actually identify as an animal kintok throws them into oncoming traffic

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.

"Physical therians aren't valid!!!" *likes holothere's post* *likes holoethere's post* *likes holothere's post*

Okay buddy

[koirankusema666]

Been meaning to say this for a while, but here's a not so gentle reminder that you don't have to be skinny, white and able bodied to be part of the nonhuman community.

Racism and ableism is sadly rampant in this community and I want this blog to be safe for the beings that feel excluded! If you want to, you can interact with this post if you are or your blog is safe for: fat, POC and disabled nonhumans. I wanna show some support, even if it's just a follow or a reblog here and there.

I don't care how "weird" or "unusual" your identity is, you're still valid. If it's not hurting anyone, run wild! Be yourself.

I hate the amount of negativity and gatekeeping that goes on within the alterhuman community. People make lesser known or misunderstood identities feel unaccepted.

All. Of. You. Are. Valid.

I accept you all and this blog is a safe space.

Now don't forget it.

[kyntypes]

I remember seeing so many younger therians say that they were born with their nonhuman identity, mostly in efforts to seem more valid. What was that about?

"You can only be born a therian"

"You can't be a therian because of trauma, you're just a copinglink if it happened after trauma"

"Real therians are born this way"

Like I beg your pardon??? My otherkin identities weren't always there, I'm literally a machine and a building, but those came WAYYY later in my life. I wasn't born as either of those things. It just happened at random, same with me being born as a maned wolf with hoary bat DNA, it just happened. I didn't choose any of that, but it doesn't matter if I did or not, it just happened. Sometimes identity just changes out of nowhere.

EDIT: PLEASE do NOT derail my posts, PLEASE. If you disagree with anything I say, just block me. Do NOT come up in my comment section derailing my posts. Thank you.

Honestly, fuck the alterhuman and therian wiki for always excluding clinical zoanthropes and physical alterhumans in general.

I wanted to look into berserker shifts and then I see shit like

Ah yes, because being a clinical zoanthrope means you're not alterhuman! Obviously!

Then there's also stuff like this in the official definition of modern therianthropy??

Has the same energy as 12 year olds on TikTok going "Therians KNOW they're human, they're not weird!!!! They're just normal human beings pls accept us 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺"

Why are we doing this??

Oh, you identify as an animal?? So cool!! What???? You identify as one physically????

Unacceptable! You shall not be a part of the community where people identify as animals!!!

What.

[zadsterr]

Normalize not witch hunting someone for getting their identity wrong..? I thought i had a certain theriotype but ended up being wrong, and then once happily announcing i found its actual label i was accused of lying and then kicked for lying...??????

I also recently got banned for my theriotypes not both being spiritual bc "they cant differ"

seems the community is doing GREAT.../sarc
