Personally, I Actually Really Like These Kinds Of Stuffed Animals! :D They're My Favorite Kind, And Whenever

ive been in the alterhuman community for years atp and it genuinely still amazes me that there are actually people out there who just feel... totally human. all the time. like what lol.

I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.

Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.

Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.

It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.

"you cant identify as transspecies, thats not a real thing!! you'll always be human it's not even possible to transition to another species!!"

Fucking. Watch me.

h ello

i always forget to write in mine lmao, but when i do i kinda just use it as an all purpose journal with a therian theme. Sometimes I write down my thoughts for / a summary of the day, usually focusing in on the nonhuman-y things that happened. But then I also used it to keep some fur from the first deer skull i ever scavenged, sketch out my theriotypes, and to design my own collection of symbols that eventually i'll use to mark and map my outdoor territory. Really, it's just about whatever aspects of nonhumanity are important to you, and the things you feel are worth documenting!

to all my therians with a therian journal, what type of things do you write in it? i saw someone on here talking about it and i think i want to start one!

tired animal, feel your fur against the blooms ✿

Im gonna say smth that a lot of yall aren't gonna like but whatever Im tired of nobody talking about it.

The therian community's obsession with zoos is stunting a lot of the cultural growth that we could be having rn.

Soooo many of us are so goddamn busy with trying to prove that we're not zoos or accusing each other of being zoos or shouting from every rooftop available that we're different than zoos, when we could be doing so many more productive things.

You wanna keep potentially dangerous individuals out of the community, I understand that, really I do. But do you wanna know how many animals are saved from abuse by us dogpiling (no pun intended) on someone who incorporates their nonhumanity into kink? Or who speaks honestly about genitalia dysphoria, or instincts to court members of the species they identify as? Or hell, who even acknowledges that there is an overlap between therianthropy and zoo attraction? Zero.

It doesn't really protect anyone, all it does is prevent us from speaking honestly about our experiences, diving into the nitty gritty of what it actually means to be an animal living as and among humans, out of fear that something we told to someone in confidence is going to end up in a google doc next week. No, wanting to have nonhuman body parts does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. No, being attracted to alterhumans over humans does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. No, wishing you had a nonhuman family does not automatically make you attracted to biological animals. The only thing that makes you attracted to biological animals is being attracted to biological animals. It truly is not rocket science.

I haven't seen it be as much of an issue here on Tumblr because I guess there's overall less mob mentality and beings are more capable of using critical thinking skills, it's just been frustrating watching so many of the younger/newer members of the community turn into the "crucify zoos at any and all costs" club and trying to strong arm all forms of animalistic sexual expression out of the community to avoid any possible association with zoos from outsiders (spoiler alert: you could sanitize the entire community to the point of chemical burns and uneducated doorknobs would still swear up and down that every last one of us are zoos)

mfs be like "species dysphoria isn't real" bro I WISH it wasn't
