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 âiâm not a therian, im a [xyz animal]â
because hey thatâs what a therian is!
to say you donât identify as a therian because you just ARE that animal is to say that therians ARENâT really the animal they claim to be. which is so wrong. to say you donât like the term therian because itâs âtoo humanâ 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 âreally being an animalâ from being a therian. they are the same thing. youâre not superior or different to us because you âreally are that animalâ. we all are.
