As someone with really terrible memory I totally relate!! It’s okay that you don’t remember when you awakened, you’re not alone <3
I can't remember my awakening :(
The problem with having dissociative amnesia and be in the non human community is that I see all of these other beings saying, like, "I awakened in 20xx"
and I'm like I- I don't remember. I cannot remember . And then I don't feel valid, and I know it's stupid, but.
*explodes :(*
Like, idk if anyone can relate, but I don't even remember when I discovered what being non human/therian meant!!
Sometimes I feel like I just spawned here and it sucks!! I can't remember anything about me or my past.
...Anyway *eats little snack
(idk, I hope at least one of y'all can feel a bit less alone bc I wrote this)
The idea that prey nonhumans and predator nonhumans have beef with each other as if in nature predators and prey just hate each other and that's why carnivory exists: extremely anthropocentric mindset. I've literally been friends with people who were species that hawks or wolverines prey on in the wild and we never were even at odds over it. I'm a South American opossum who's friends with a crested eagle. It's mostly a lot of humans that cannot comprehend killing something you don't have spite for; after all, they get all their meat in packaged form from the grocery store and the only time they kill other animals is when they're mad at a spider for existing.
I say that I want to go back and be an animal again, but...I'm not really a spiritual alterhuman.
I say this as if there is some part of my past that I want to revert to and reclaim, but I'm not sure I actually do have a past life or anything like that. It's like a nostalgia for something that never existed.
today’s thoughts : is escapism or just a hyperfixation
Hello! I am curious as a phys nonhuman to another, do you have any plans to get permanent or non-permanent body mods?
I plan on getting tattoos of my species, and various tails, muzzles, etc etc. ^__^
Hello! I would like to get some permanent body mods. I also want a tattoo (or maybe several) of my species. I also would like fangs whether they be implants or just costume ones.
Thanks for asking!
A physical nonhuman is anyone who is physically nonhuman, inhuman, or dishuman. Nonhumanity is the state of which one is not human. Inhumanity is the state of which one is not ordinarily human. Dishumanity is when someone is dis-human, excluding or the opposite of humanity. This includes;
Holotheres

Endels

Clinicals

(If you have another source OTHER than a wiki or medical web, made by clinicals, i would be so happy to change the link.)
Shifters

Most of these listed above are the most common reasons for being physically nonhuman and has nothing to do with being the only way to be physically nonhuman.
Outsiders tend to separate these into boxes, which is what we don't want to do when talking about identity. But the degrees of physical are not boxes, but they are describing the degree between physical, somatic, and metaphysical.
In general, Shifters can encompass all three at the same time. Clinicals and Endels usually encompass the somatic area, but can blend into the others with possible metaphysical/spiritual influences. Holotheres, like Shifters, can encompass all three. At the end of the day, it is very easy to break out of these three and simply be physically nonhuman in whatever way you want.
Person: go do this
Me: I can’t I need space
Person: you can have space when you do the thing
Me: *puts on headphones and ignores everything just to do the thing *
Person: you can’t just ignore us that’s rude
Me: *is too overstimulated and overwhelmed*
Person: ugh spoiled
