I really like this insight. I think the difference between the ways words sound and what they actually mean gets muddled a lot. I think it's especially interesting when I acknowledge how my nonhumanity in a way granted me my personhood.
I'm not human, I wasn't treated as human for a very long time by my peers, even before I began referring to myself as nonhuman. I felt like I was stripped of my identity, my thoughts, my personhood. Exploring my nonhumanity allowed me to reclaim all of that. It granted me my security and a wonderful community that accepts me. My mind, or personhood, though I do usually just refer to it as my conscious thoughts, is my own again because I embraced my nonhuman identity.
I have a question for other Alterhumans/nonhumans. Do you consider yourself a person? I saw a post saying they think of animals as people and It made me curious.
trick or treat? :3
Treat! I saw that you have an enderman and a dragon kintype so here's a grass block and a golden apple :3
I wear this collar because it's STYLISH! AND MY GIRLFRIEND GAVE IT TO ME >:[
It makes me feel NICE and I LOVE HER
Dear wild canine alterhumans, you’re allowed to use and enjoy domesticated canine esc gear. Collars and chew toys and dog beds. You’re still wild.
When one of my hearthomes IS Minecraft.
nonhuman suggestion: build your hearthome in minecraft

Load up fallout 4
Play until I look around and my room is completely dark
Realize I have not eaten today (don't do this part)
Go into kitchen, find a hunk of smoked brisket in the fridge. Cut off a chunk and go to town on it. No sauce. Nothing. Just meat.
Heavily push down the urge to growl at the dogs because it's my food.
Also find a container of chopped up cucumber. Eat a handful of it.
Feel satisfied.
Go back to fallout.
I consider myself something of an academic weapon B] (I have ADHD but will cry till I throw up if I make anything below a B)

Sometimes I look at my partner and remember she's actually this ancient ethereal being made up of stars and magic and I can see her horn and her hooves. She's so beautiful I'm rendered speechless.
Then other times I look at them and see this stinky cat. They're still beautiful ofc just being stinky.
I love my girlfriend. She follows no rules and does what she wants.
You know, if winter grieves me, fall and spring look at me with love and welcoming because they too understand the fact that we all change. No matter how different I am or how conflicted I feel, I'm still me, and that's all that matters.
