Yes! I would have shifts whenever I was younger. It was mainly ears and tail shifts - but rarely wings. It's completely flipped for me now since I'm an adult and know the nonhuman community.
And I agree, a lot of things are making sense now due to my understanding of the nonhuman side of me.
did anyone get like phantom shifts (or any at all) when they where younger and didn't know what they were or really question them until you learned about being nonhuman/alter human? a LOT in my childhood makes sense now learning I'm not a human
This is so real, and I want this so desperately. Like to run in a pack of therians 😭.
I do know one irl, they're a red fox, and they're literally so cool!! :]
This is literally us.
wanting to run around with another therian so bad right now. i CRAVE my own pack. i want to hunt, i want to play, i want to rest in my territory with the ones i love
sigh :O<
Legit had a dream the night before where I was legit doing quads, I got too excited and woke up. 😭
Then I had another dream just last night where I was a dragon - drake dragon, to be exact, I was kinda humanoid. And I was some decetive with these other dragons - one for a fact was yellow - he was a police officer, I can't remember what we were doing for the most part but we were trying to solve something, but the dream ended with us just talking and laughing in some conference room thing. And I felt incredibly natural as a dragon - it was actually so cool.
I know this shit sounds surreal, but yall gotta believe me 😭
"Wanting animal genitals is gross"
"Having an animal packer is weird"
"Having species dysphoria like this is not normal"
You're narrow view of Therianthropy will only bring the entire community down. You're doing nothing but throwing your own community under the bus. Therianthropy is like an actual fucking identity that can affect someons whole life. It can affect the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Why is it such a shocker that someone who believes they where born in the wrong body and is ment to be an animal might want to do things that make there body look more animal-like!?!?!?!
You think this is bad? Wait until you find out about the tattoos some of us get 😂
Sorry you think that species dysphoria is just wanting ears and a tail.
Sorry that you can't gasp the idea that someone who identifies as an animal might have species dysphoria from their genitals.
Sorry you didn't grasp the idea of actually feeling like you should have a different body that is not human until now.
Sorry that Therianthropy isn't just a connection and dress up.
I need to get me something like this, I've been planning on buying seraphim and ophanim pins recently to connect to mine more or clothing related.
Got some fake gauges that look like wings, and lowkey they help me connect to my divine kintypes a lot
I've been having near full non-human shifts. It gets to the point where I just don't believe I'm physically human until I see my reflection, and it's like I get hard-core whiplash each time.
My godkin resonates with this place. I might make a post about my godkin, I've had a stronger connect to them recently.
"You don't seem like you'd be a coyote-"
Identities are much more than surface level appearances and behaviour, and no one has to "look" or "seem" like one of their kin/kith types.
Animals, mythical beings, fictional characters, etc etc, can have different personalities and traits that make them unique.
A lion doesn't have to be strong and courageous. A dragon doesn't have to be big and powerful. A rabbit doesn't have to be meek and fragile.
How we experience our alterhumanity and nonhumanity is unique, and it's not solely dictated by what we are and who we identify as.
Just because I don't "seem" like I'd be a coyote doesn't mean I'm not one.

I recently watched halfway through a therian documentary. They were all Wolf therian/kin in some way, plus they were a pack, too, and man, I how desperately I want a pack that I could meet up with. 😭.
