Ok, first of all, our post was not an attack or hate to you. We even got where you were coming from.
Second of all, fuck that whole end paragraph.
We don't like using those terms just the same that we don't like using system to refer to us. They just don't feel right for us. We don't look down on or anything people who use any term that we don't.
We know that therians and otherkins aren't inherently human (although they can be, let's not forget the humans under the alterhuman umbrella). We would NEVER call someone human unless they say they are human.
Also, for the bisexual thing, there are multiple different multigender sexualities for a reason (pansexual, bisexual, polysexual, omnisexual, etc). Cause some don't prefer one of the other terms. There is nothing wrong with a preference for a term.
We like nonhuman and alterhuman better cause they are the ones that we would prefer to be called. There is nothing wrong with our preference, and if you think there is, then just block us.

putting this on main actually;
it annoys me to death when folks say stuff like โiโm not a therian, im a [xyz animal]โ
because hey thatโs what a therian is!
to say you donโt identify as a therian because you just ARE that animal is to say that therians ARENโT really the animal they claim to be. which is so wrong. to say you donโt like the term therian because itโs โtoo humanโ is so insensitive.
therians are not necessarily human! someone calling themself a therian in no way makes them human! equating therians with humans is weird!
stop treating us like we are human, stop trying to separate โreally being an animalโ from being a therian. they are the same thing. youโre not superior or different to us because you โreally are that animalโ. we all are.
Ask game!
Please include the question(s) fully in the ask.

We are being overwhelmed by a bunch of movie choices to watch while we try and either sleep or continue doing random stuff on our phone. Help.
Gonna do a poll so anyone who sees our post rn can help us decide on a movie to watch [our brain may end up actually choosing a different movie than the poll actually ends up as, cause of our stupid PDA (Pathological demand avoidance) and stuff]
Also, for the "Other" option, please have the movies be kid friendly as we [Shay subpack] might be slightly regressed rn.
Apparently, the poll has to last for either a day or a week, but it will actually last for like 1 hour or so for us.
Edit done at 01:20 AM where we are: We have decided to watch/have on Scooby-Doo Camp Scare, so we are actually listening to the poll, saying that last bit almost makes us not want to, but we will.

Any disabled beings have any tips for other disabled beings?
We are kinda having a rough (ruff, lol) time lately.
We would especially love tips for work and how to figure out if working is actually an option right now.

It's a great movie!!! We love it!

New intro post, you can see our old intro posts by looking for "intro post" as a tag on our blog.
Hello, this is our blog for alterhuman/nonhuman and plural things mainly. This was originally made for my fictionkin/ockin; Zuki Shay Hara-Lupo. Who is a noncanon MHA/BNHA being/creature.
Here's a bit more info on my canon for Zuki Shay Hara-Lupo. It was divergent from the manga and anime. If you want to know more about my canon, send in an ask, or you can see some things on my original intro posts. The only thing I will mention here is that UA was a college instead of a high school, so my class and I were all 18 at the start of the first year at UA.
In this life, the body is currently 19, so keep that in mind. We don't mind minors interacting. Just know we (the host subpack) are more hesitant to interact with minors ourselves.
We try and make sure our posts are all tagged well, especially for tw or cw, if you see a post of ours that doesn't have a tw or cw that needs to be tagged tagged, then let us know and we'll fix it.
We will not answer/post any donation asks if you want to know why you should be able to find the posts we made about it by using the tag "no donation asks."
We will block for any reason. Especially when it comes to hate.
This is an endo safe space. We will not judge systems/plural beings for their origins. If you don't like this, leave.
We are also disabled, both in this life and in my (the host) life as Zuki, so that will also be on our blog. [In this life for all the ones after this]. We are autistic and ADHD for sure. We have a learning disability and depression as well diagnosed. We believe we might have OCD and PTSD but are not sure yet. We know we have some form of anxiety, but it's not diagnosed. We all (packmates) experience these disabilities so yeah.
Because of our disabilities, we need a service dog in this life. [I also had one as Zuki]. We will likely post more about the service dog when we finally get our stuff together and do more about it.

Gonna start using this for theriform animals (around those it is safe to) instead of the usual "real" or "biological" or other terms.
Hope strikeout doesn't mess with accessibility things. If it does, we are really sorry.
Also, question: What would the "human" version of this kinda thing be? Like a version to talk about being in a human body (or what appears to most as a human body) but maybe not being human? (Strikeout cause dumb question, lol)
- Shay ๐พ
Theriform Adjective (can applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)
From ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ (thฤrรญon) [diminutive of ฮธฮฎฯ thแธr, โwild beastโ] and ฮผฮฟฯฯฮฎ (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].
A theriform animal is one which was born into a body that is typical/expected of it's species and observable as such by everyone, with species-typical levels of sapience/intelligence and whose behaviour is unaltered by being born into a human body/raised in a form perceived as human.
It is not the 'opposite' of therian despite similar etymology but is instead to be viewed as a complimentary term to therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, otherkin etc as it exists to specify certain details of a species whilst not invalidating the identities of those who are not theriform. It is made to replace potentially invalidating phrases like 'bio(logical) animal' or 'real animal'.
It is not an identity label and therefore has no flag or symbol and does not need one. Do not create these things please, or use the term to describe yourself on a personal level.
Alternative versions for non-animals could include: floraform, nat(ur)form, techform, fictoform, feyform, voidform, starform, divineform etc
"Lol it's so funny being a cat and having a theriform cat as a pet we're both just kitties vibing but with different body shapes."
"Just because they're the same species are you does not mean you are able to take care of wild theriforms."
"The fact that there aren't that many theriforms of my species is so saddening."
"I wanna do quads alongside a pack of theriform wolves so bad!"
"I am transspecies, here is what I do/what I want to do to look more theriform."
"I wonder if theriforms get species dysphoria?"
Send us asks about our packmates!

You can put names and/or emojis [we'd prefer at least names] for who you are asking about (hopefully every being will answer their own questions, lol). Just ask a question and put who you're asking about!
Edit: Also if you don't have specific questions, you can just put who you're asking about and who ever it is will just probably ramble a bit, lol.

hey :} everything is gonna be okay. half a cup of milk and half a cup of water, with a teaspoon and a half of honey mixed in and a little bit of cinnamon. youll thank me for this.

This is (mostly) true.
But also it can be gear. [Also, a reminder, technically, anything can be considered "gear".]
Like we find certain gear to be very species affirming/euphoric, and that doesn't make us any less nonhuman.
Species transition is very personal in a way, just as gender transition is. It's never gonna be a "one size fits all" kinda thing, and that's ok.
Transition how you want to. If that's just gear, that's great! If that's not any "gear," that's great! If it's a mix, that's great! It's your transition. Do what you want (as long as no one gets hurt, please).

just to clarify species transition =/= buy a bunch of stuff off etsy or amazon.
