⭒ shout out to the nonhumans who have to hide their posts behind trigger warnings because their 'types are commonly feared or disliked. ⭒ shout out the nonhumans who feel uncomfortable in their bodies because their 'types have completely different body types to them. ⭒ shout out to the nonhumans who's disability gives them species dysphoria. to the hearing-impaired nonhumans with 'types known for their amazing hearing. to the vision-impaired nonhumans who's 'types have exceptional eye sight. to the movement-impaired nonhumans with super agile and energetic 'types. ⭒ shout out to the nonhumans with 'types who's characteristics don't line up with their own. to those with domestic 'types who like to be alone. to those with carnivorous 'types who are vegetarian. to those with solitary 'types who still long for a pack or a group to belong with. ⭒ shout out the the nonhumans with holy / divine 'types who feel no connection to religion. to the angels with religious trauma. to the demons with religious families. shout out to every creature in this wonderful world, and those from other worlds too. our differences are what brings us together, and even if we cannot relate to others' experiences, even if we despise our own experiences, we are all nonhuman. we need not justify our nonhumanity to anyone. it is us, and that is all it needs to be. i love you all, and i am right here with you.

STOP REFERRING TO ME AS A PERSON OMFG.
I haven't said it to anyone bc usually someones being nice while doing it.
I'm not a person please stop. Even before I knew I was non-human I hated being called a person as a gender neutral term. It doesn't fit me in anyway and I'd appreciate it if you all stopped.
Other words you can use:
Creature
Critter
Being (I use this when talking about most non-humans)
Thing (literally one of my pronouns)
Dude/fella/guy (these just feel very puppy to me but not all therians will be comfortable with that)
OR JUST REFER TO ME AS THE ANIMALS I AM.
An important PSA to remember!
