• this one is always a hit or miss but just use your hands !! now this obviously won't work for everyone, or for every food you eat, but it works for more things than you expect! I personally also do not care if I get messy hands while eating, but I know a lot of people do. almost all snack food I eat with my hands, of something has like bread or lettuce with what I'm eating I'll pick it up with that and eat, etc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• chopsticks !! now I know not everyone knows how to use them or can learn how to use them but they make these things called chopstick helpers, you can get the basic plastic one or ones shaped like animals, then they are basically just an extension of your fingers. once you get used to them it becomes pretty easy to use and quite effective
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• something I recently started using is Japanese soup spoons, they have a big handle so easy to old and a bigger "basin" for food and liquid so it doesn't spill as easy as normal spoons. they come in SO MANY designs and colors they also have a BUNCH of like designs and shapes, some have a deeper or more shallow spoon part, different shaped handles, and they aren't super expensive to buy a set of them either
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• another type of spoon is a spoon from Russia! I am not entirely sure of their origin other than they are functional art pieces, from just an observing point of view they also can serve as the same function as Japanese soup spoons. I've heard a few names for them and I'm not sure which is the correct one so I'll just list what I found :') (khokhloma, lozhka, melchior, cherkassky) these also tend to be on the more pricey side. remember! they are also art and part of a culture, same with Japanese soup spoons
ik this isn't technically a queer thing, but my parents got me a rainbow collar for Christmas, and I see it as a peace offering?
they don't know about me not being a human at all from my knowledge and it could very well just be like a "alt fashion" gift (+ rainbow to support queer child) but id like to think it's a silent recognizing of me being different
yoooo!!! that would be awesome if they somehow caught the vibe without you having to tell them! at the very least, that might actually make that conversation easier if it ever has to happen. either way, i'm glad you got something affirming, that's awesome!
merry christmas! i hope you have a great new year as well!
okay, ive seen way too many posts on the community tags talking about the tiktok ban and saying stuff like "i hope tiktok therians dont come in here theyre so awful and i hate them lol". and... i dont know what to tell you guys, i think thats mean as hell.
imagine, just for a second, that youre a therian on tiktok. at 13 years old, youve found a friendly community where people express themselves with masks, tails, and a type of movement called quadrobics. they seem to be having fun, so you decide to join in. and for a while, youre having fun too! you start practicing quadrobics, which is tough at first but you work hard to get better. you ask your parents for some cat masks, which you decorate with paint and faux fur. you make videos of yourself and your friends, wearing cat masks and dancing on all fours to some bland indie song.
then, out of nowhere, one of your posts goes viral. and suddenly, youre not having fun anymore.
"therians are crazy", "if you identify as a dog you should be chained and made to sleep naked outside", "my little brother came out as a therian and i bullied him until he stopped lol", "if i see a therian in the woods im shooting them", "if you want to be an animal, ill treat you like one".
again, YOURE 13. so you get defensive, because people you dont know are attacking you online and as a young teen, you dont know what to do to make it stop. so instead of confronting them, you try to please them instead. "im not crazy, im just having fun" turns into "i dont identify as an animal, only crazy people do that!" and then to "therians dont actually think were animals; thats lycanthropy and its wrong". this is what others in your community are saying, so it must be true, right? it helps slow down the criticism at least, if only for a little while; even if it never fully goes away. so you keep saying it, even to others in your community, because if it protects you from judgment, why not?
but now youre dealing with the possibility of your platform disappearing. youll lose your friends, the community youve worked so hard to be a part of. you heard some friends say they might switch to instagram if tiktok gets banned, while others prefer reddit or tumblr. Feeling curious (you didnt realize there were therians on other sites!), you decide to check out tumblr to see what that community is like there. the first post you come across at the top of the tag? "i hope tiktok therians dont come here theyre so awful and i hate them lol".
so yeah. thats the problem with making blanket statements like these; it only pushes away members of our own community. shame is not a motivator, and your aggressiveness gets us nowhere. remember, one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar. so be kind.
my gender is funky, like I don't feel like there was really anything there when I was born (gender wise), but because I'm also physically not a human, my gender is like a man who doesn't know what a man is and is really trying but is still confused, just trying to fit in but sometimes I find things that make me feel really good about being a man
that's basically what manhood is to me

there is a judge in Seattle who does the weekly name change hearings, and who says it's her favorite part of the week. she says she doesn't read out previous names, or ask about the reasons why people want to change them. she says it's a beautiful moment, and a celebration; a claiming of a new identity, or a reclamation of an old identity. she encourages the room to clap for folks. then she welcomes everyone up, one by one, by last name and with warmth; she shows them the court order where nobody else can see, asks them to double check the spelling, and then they're done! do they want a picture? do they want their friends and loved ones who came with them to be in it too? do they want the court order in the photo? she helps everyone pose, shakes hands and stands with them for as long as they need to take it, recruits the clerk for help taking photos of the folks who came alone. then she tells them where to go next, congratulates them, and claps along with the rest of the room.
probably three quarters of the people there were trans, and she centered their experience quietly, with love and joy.
I think I'll be thinking about her a lot this January, and for a long time after. it's good to know she's there.
i don't trust anyone who says "i don't hate ALL men, just cishet men" to not extend that to trans and other queer men whenever it suits their narrative. sure you say that it's only cishet men you hate, but is it really? or are you willing to extend that to other men whenever and wherever it pleases you? this is a dangerous line of thinking because the temptation to say "well x type of man is BASICALLY a cishet man so it's okay to hate them," will always be there.
i already see this in effect with aro and ace cishet men. people will go "well they're not REALLY queer, they're JUST cishet. being aro or ace 'doesn't count' they're still a cishet man." where does "cishet man" even begin or end? does this include gender non conforming cishet men? intersex cishet men? aspectrum cishet men? genderqueer cishet men? bi/multigender people who also identify as cishet men as well as multigender? this isn't the way to go about life. it's a dangerous game that no one should be playing.
me because I'm cis and trans at the same time 🩷
use whatever labels fit you best!! it doesn't matter if they "clash"
happy Holliday's to everyone 🫶
Please interact with this post if you're a trans or gender non-conforming age regressor/age dreamer so that we can all see we're valid members of our community who aren't alone!

I love my girlfriend so much she makes me so happy, they make feel so genuine and real. I was having really bad cramps and to help me feel better he grabbed my hand and told me to growl and we just growled at each other and it helped so much too be animalistic like that. she's my number one supporter and I'd do anything for him 🫶🫶
I need carrying around a stuffed animal friend to be normalized
i feel like the entire online queer community collectively forgot, or rather pretends that queer allies don't exist. like. we literally have a term and even a flag for queer allies. they exist. assuming every single perisex cishet person hates queer people isn't the way to go. allies are a very real and important part of our community. allies challenge the status quo by saying, i'm not queer, but i support what you're doing. they exist. they're out there- and yes, many of them are cishet men.
please don't forget this, or pretend that they don't exist: allies are an extremely important part of our history, community, and safety.
"Guyysss... therians don't ACTUALLY think we're animals haha..." SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP
At this point I prefer the company of those who are straight up physically nonhuman and are PROUD AND OPEN ABOUT THAT FACT, instead of YOU fuckers who tip-toe around your identity to make OTHER PEOPLE more comfortable.
GET MAD. BE ANIMALISTIC. WEAR A COLLAR. BARK AT PEOPLE WHO PISS YOU OFF. WEAR GEAR. DON'T WEAR GEAR. FIND YOUR FELLOW CREATURES. LEARN ABOUT THE START OF OUR COMMUNITY.
BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY SCARY AND INTIMIDATING TO NORMIES.
did anyone get like phantom shifts (or any at all) when they where younger and didn't know what they were or really question them until you learned about being nonhuman/alter human? a LOT in my childhood makes sense now learning I'm not a human
i love being a freak
I'm so cool for not being human !!
For using neopronouns !!
For regressing !!
For using niche labels !!
For being neurodivergent !!
I'm so cool for being myself !!
love yourself :)
(if you would like, reblog with all the cool things about yourself worth being loved. Let everyone know they are loved <3)
If you uwuify my nonhuman experience, I will tear you to shreds.
Normalize being wild and feral in this community. We don’t have to be cute and innocent.
Regressors of all kinds are welcome here: regressors of color, neurodivergent regressors, fat regressors, system regressors, disabled regressors, queer regressors, older regressors, hairy regressors, regressors who are addicts, mentally ill regressors, fandom regressors, diapered regressors, middle regressors, teen regressors, regressors who do it just for fun, regressors who do it involuntarily, regressors who post positivity, regressors who use their blog to vent, regressors who are also caregivers, permaregressors, regressors who only age dream, regressors who watch content geared towards adults, regressors who don't want caregivers, regressors of all kinds!
Shout out to regressors with messy rooms
Whether that be just a small mess or you have trash and dirty dishes everywhere
you are no less of a regressor just bc your rooms isn't clean or "aesthetic"
I hope you someday have the energy to clean, but until then don't feel ashamed or any less valid
I think I'm the freaking sun (or something cosmic)
Tiktok therians piss me off SO BAD. beacuse why did I just see someone say "well!! You can't identify as a song! that's just stupid!!" We are in the same community, we aren't supposed to judge eachother,
also shotout to songkins! You guys don't get enough attention
if it helps, I'm nonhuman (therian, otherkin), an age regressor, furry, exploring gyaru and Lolita lifestyles/makeup, scenekid, and have like a stupid amount of special interests
thank you :3
