I think one of the greatest feelings an individual can experience is believing for years that you're fundamentally different from everyone else in the world in some way and that you're the only person alive who experiences something in a particular way, and then one day all of a sudden you stumble onto another person like you and all you can think is "Im not the only one?"
i dont need drugs i have nightcore
How are you TransSpecies but also dont want TransIDs to interact with you?/genq
TransSpecies is a Trans Identity/nm
Yep you're right, transspecies is a trans identity, not transID, it's a normal and healthy identity to have, similarly to transgender. It is neither discriminatory to minority groups nor impossible to achieve transition for the way that transIDs are. It's also a label that's been used within the alterhuman community long before transID terminology ever became a thing, it's just something that's been stolen from us against our wishes. If transgender isn't transID then neither is transspecies, and if it is then there's literally no reason to have the distinction between "trans" and "transID" to begin with.
I don't want transID interacting with me because they fetishize and promote stereotypes about a lot of already stigmatized groups of people, some of which I myself am a part of or of which many of my friends are. I will not stand for discrimination here. There are some transID's I feel slightly more neutral on (ex. transage or transoccupation, pretty much any that don't specifically target marginalized groups) and don't really care all that much if they wanna interact for whatever reason, but overall Ive found transID individuals in general to be very insulting and entitled and would generally just prefer not to engage with them.
I have a more in-depth explanation of this sort of thing a little ways down on my blog but that just about covers the basics I think, thanks for the ask! <3 :]
I just want therian partners to go frolicking in the forest with, or if our theriotypes are opposites of each other we could chase each other around and whatnot. yeah I'd like that...I'd like that a lot
Just wanted to throw this out there rq but just to make it clear I love receiving messages from folks and am super duper okay with DM's !! Id like to be more personally involved with the community beyond just shitposts and reblogs lmao, and I have so many genuinely amazing and cool mutuals I'd love to get to know better so if anyone ever wants to start up a convo in DM's, ask me questions, or send random kintype posts accompanied by a "you" message, Im 1000% down for that :]
I forgot to make a post about it sooner lol, but I ended up printing out a bunch of those theta delta stickers I designed a while back! I didn't sell them or anything, just for personal use and to give out to other therians I encountered irl, but I had a ton of fun sticking them up around Washington over the course of a few months so enjoy a quick photo dump :3
If anyone encounters any of these (or others, there's some i didn't include here) out in the real world don't be afraid to shoot me a message and let me know! id absolutely love to see how they're holding up <3 Therian pride 4ever ∞
Also if anyone is curious i used StickerApp to get them printed and would highly recommend to anyone interested in making stickers of their own, they have awesome service and great quality for the price!
With all the species concept discussion today, I have been pondering and I genuinely love the idea of having a species concept separate from scientific species concepts, sort of like how there’s the idea of gender while there’s also sex.
There’s already an idea of “human” separate from the characteristics that define Homo sapiens — to be human is typically associated with compassion and empathy or whatever, and none of that is all that relevant to reproductive compatibility or genetic similarities to other species? So surely it’s possible for other “species” to be separated from their taxonomy? (/genq)

Ngl I really don't see my therianthropy as being either "physical or non-physical". It just is.
I view it much the same way I view my gender identity. I would never say Im physically nonbinary or psychologically nonbinary or anything along those lines. There might be physically androgynous traits to my body, or certain aspects of my gender may manifest internally more than they do externally, but at the end of the day I simply am nonbinary. I simply am nonhuman.
No hate whatsoever to anyone who does categorize their therianthropy in those ways ofc, more power to you do whatever feels right, just personally I can't picture myself in that sense yk?
[ID: A set of four symbols, two black and two white. It depicts a small circle with a dot in the middle and two small lines coming off of it. It is surrounded by a diamond. In the top images, a circle surrounds the diamond at the end, while on the bottom, the circle is smaller and links together with the diamond from behind. End ID]
────────
Nonhuman Symbol
This is my proposal for a nonhuman symbol; for people who identify as nonhuman in any sense. I couldn't personally decide which version I preferred, with the outer circle on the end or linked with the diamond, so I went with both.
The symbol is meant to represent many varieties of nonhumanity, and include different experiences and communities within it:
The outermost circle represents nonhumanity as a whole- the broad nonhuman community in which anyone can be included, and one's personal experiences with nonhumanity.
The inner circle with a dot represents those with psychological experiences of some kind, as it resembles the disability sun. Not just those with psychological origins- it is for anyone with psychological experiences, or something similar.
The two lines protruding out represent external experiences, such as spiritual, metaphysical, or otherwise outside experiences. This, too, represents anyone with these experiences, not just someone's origins.
The diamond represents multiple things: It can represent one's body, whether it be their physical one or otherwise, it can represent one's personhood and sense of nonhuman identity, and it can represent those who feel a desire to have a nonhuman body / nonhuman body parts, those who already have them (such as in headspace), those who have phantom limbs or otherwise, and so on. It is also a vague homage to the term aldernic.
Anybody who considers themself nonhuman, regardless of why they are nonhuman or in what way, may use this symbol for what they'd like. This includes subterms, such as ahuman.
Do not put discourse on this post.
EDIT: I merged the two symbols together, and I got these:
[ID: A set of two symbols, one black and one white. It depicts a small circle with a dot in the middle and two small lines coming off of it. It is surrounded by a diamond. There is a ring behind the diamond, and then another ring at the very edges of the diamond. End ID]
And I really love them. So I'm going to add these as yet another version of the symbol.
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
I JUST SAW A THERIAN OUT IN PUBLIC?????
Okay so my school has this cafe nearby that during the school year I’d frequently go to study and work on stuff. I went for the first time during summer break today with my mom for a nice outing and while we were checking out I noticed that the barista (who was wearing short sleeves today instead of the average long sleeves) had a tattoo on his upper arm that was half covered up by his shirt. A tattoo of the theta delta, but I was thinking “heyyy maybe I’m wrong, but couldn’t hurt to ask” so when my mom walked off to sit her bag down I asked “Is that a theta delta?” And this dude’s face LIT UP. So my mom was walking back so I just hurriedly went “Me too me too! Wolfdog.” And he replied “Grizzly!”
So in short: the barista at the cafe I got o everyday is a grizzly bear. I love my life.
"hey youve been kinda quiet what's on your mind?"
me: "oh nothing i was just zoning out"

puppy is not a species puppy is a state of mind. anyone can be puppy regardless of their species
maybe there's something im not understanding here, and honestly at the end of the day i don't really care one way or the other this is a pretty exclusively online topic, but the whole "neo/xeno AGAB" thing is like... vaguely transphobic right?
and i am absolutely 100% NOT the person to try to tell others how they should identify or what labels they should be using, im literally a transmasc nonbinary mspec/queer lesbian transspecies werewolf who uses xeno pronouns for fucks sake, it doesn't really get anymore "queer as in wtf is going on" than that.
but from what i've seen and read about it, it kind of seems to be simultaneously reinventing and discrediting the definition of transgender. To directly quote the "AGAB Non-Conformity" infographic made by @/nonconformityhub,
"Those who reject their AGAB, are unassigned, or were forced to fit a binary sex at birth may wish to self-assign a different AGAB. It's based around the idea that we shouldn't be forced to stick with a falsely assigned gender."
like, am i not understanding something or is that literally just the definition of being transgender or gnc?? i think the thing that rubs me the wrong way about it is that it almost kinda implies that as a transgender individual you should or need to disclose the gender you were assigned at birth to others, which (unless it's for legal or health related reasons) you literally just don't. If you are a trans man, congratulations, you are a man. You don't have to be an "AFAB man", you're just a man. As far as anyone else needs to be concerned, you are male and have always been such. The whole point of being trans is to reject the gender you were assigned at birth because it's flat out not what you are.
Idk again I don't really care that much I don't think it's gonna single handedly set back trans liberation or anything of that sort, I just feel like we SHOULD be focusing on dismantling the system of assigning genders at birth to begin with and reasserting that sex ≠ gender, rather than simply modifying the system to appeal to certain individuals and disregarding preexisting communities trying to accomplish that goal, and would maybe just encourage everyone to look at this kind of stuff with some healthy skepticism
Pros of dating me

Suburban Coyote
A flag for therians and alterhumans who identify as/with suburban coyotes (coyotes that live in suburban/exurban environments), who identify as coyotes and also live in the suburbs/exurbs, or who generally identify with the idea of being a wild animal that’s had to persevere and adapt to a suburban environment!
This flag and identity are intended as a companion to the urban coyote flag I posted here; that version can be used as an umbrella term for both of these identities or as a term specifically for the urban/city-dwelling version of the identity, while this one is specifically referring to suburbs/exurbs!
I, personally, am a coyote therian who lives in an exurban environment (the area where I live is much more rural than the suburbs, but is still connected to nearby urban and suburban areas); the fact that my location is fairly rural, with lots of forests and farmland, means that it’s not an area of discomfort for me, but I still feel like living in a somewhat urban area affects my identity as a wild animal. Furthermore, as I mentioned in my urban coyote post, coyotes and other wild animals that live in developed/human-dominant areas have to adapt and change their behavior to survive in those habitats, which is a concept that I believe many therians and alterhumans can relate to!
Alternate versions (without coyote ears and tail; without ears, tail, and theta delta)
If there’s another alternate version of this flag you’d like me to create (eg. with a different alterhuman symbol, etc.) just send me an ask!!
(this flag is free to use with credit; my askbox is open for requests for therian/alterhuman icon edits, moodboards, flags, etc.!!)
YES I love thinking about humans/humanity like this :3
Like sleeping in warm cozy beds with lots of blankets and pillows? That's a nest dawg. And then having an entire room specifically dedicated to sleeping in your nest that you also fill with all your favorite things so that it feels more homey. Or even sharing your nest with a mate(s) or close friend. That's so fun !!!
Or how in the winter they like to hang pretty colorful lights around their homes and set up decorations literally just because they can, and they build shapes in the snow that look like them so that they can look at it and say "you're like me, you're my friend :)"
Never forget that humans are animals too, pretty incredible ones at that! ^^
🌾 Suggestion: Woobify Humans ✨❄️
-to an extent
No but really, I find myself enjoying my body much more when I comprehend how cute & silly humanity can be
Like yeah!! Humans love going out of their way to help & befriend other creatures for no reason!! Humans like making stuff from special dirt in the ground!! Humans love covering themselves in colorful things & it’s not even for defense or as a warning- it’s literally just because fun!!
Humans are CUTE. Humans love to DANCE!!! THEY LOVE TO PLAY!!!
Its!! So!! Silly!!
And it’s amazing!
——
Also I just see a lot of alterhumanity hold great distain for humans. It’s understandable given that so many of us are treated unkindly by humans who try so hard to be whatever they consider “normal” or “acceptable”. But I find my body much more bearable and fun when I comprehend how silly & wonderful humanity can be
Maybe I can’t run as fast or fly- but I can do a fun silly dance with my partners & thats a lot ^^
There’s a lot I can do as a creature now, because I’m in a human body. I mean fuck- thumbs are really helpful for getting into my favorite drinks & snacks. Even raccoon hands can’t easily pop open a soda
Granted there’s tons I cant do- but I think I really like looking at my funky nonhumanity as a cool little gift! A trinket for a new experience ✨
Russia proposes banning quadrobics and furry fandom
[This article was originally posted on the main blog for Otherkin News, on DreamWidth: https://otherkinnews.dreamwidth.org/95252.html Orion Scribner @frameacloud wrote it on December 8, 2024.]
The Kremlin-aligned Safe Internet League is an organization for censoring the internet in Russia and educating the public about risks they may encounter there. The State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children helped establish the organization in 2011. The League’s Ombudsman is Irina Volynets. In the spring of 2024, Volynets said that the furry fandom and quadrobics are both dangerous hobbies. She said that furries dress as pigs and eat from troughs. (Later, a furry explained to the news that they don’t do that.) Soon afterward, Volynets claimed to have received death threats from quadrobists, which she said shows they’re generally hostile. The League doesn’t plan to ban cartoons for having furry characters. Instead, they want to ban quadrobics and furry fans for encouraging “crazy” behavior and having direct connections with LGBT. Russia bans LGBT for allegedly being an extremist movement.
At the end of the summer of 2024, Russian pop singer Mia Boyka humiliated a small child for expressing an interest in quadrobics. Boyka derided the cat-masked child to tears on the concert stage in front of a booing audience. Boyka then posted a video clip of that to her TikTok, asking her followers what they thought of quadrobics. The child’s parents filed a police report, because they hadn’t consented to Boyka doing any of this. The child had been brought on stage because she had gotten lost at the concert so her parents could come find her. Other celebrities and authorities scolded Boyka for her cruelty. Yekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet League, wrote to the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation that she thought that what Boyka did was unacceptable treatment of a child, even though she didn’t support quadrobics either.
In September, soon after Boyka’s video clip went viral, Russian Senator Natalia Kosikhina proposed banning quadrobics. The Senator claimed that the sport was dangerous because supposedly, quadrobist teens attack and bite people who visit parks. So far, I haven’t found names, dates, or proof that those sorts of attacks actually happened. State Duma deputy Svetlana Bessarab says the ban is unnecessary, because the Code of Administrative Offenses would cover any bad behavior that could develop in connection with the hobby, whereas the hobby itself is a healthy form of play.
Something consistent across the articles that I read about this is that they describe quadrobics as a fashionable hobby among children and teens, derived from normal ways that smaller children play, and connected with the furry fandom. They don’t mention therianthropes.
About the author: Orion Scribner is a moderator on the Otherkin News blog. I used machine translation to get the gist of the Russian-language sources, which isn't a real translation, so I welcome corrections to that from fluent speakers. However, I never write articles with the assistance of procedural generation or so-called artificial intelligence (AI), and that type of content isn’t allowed on this blog.

This is the original interview with the children’s psychiatrist Alexander Fedorovich about the furry fandom. Despite the clickbait headline, Federovich says that the furry fandom isn’t inherently bad for children, but parents should supervise and pull children out of it if they get into age-inappropriate risks. That seems reasonable, but he does make a strange claim that role-play can interfere with a child’s developing sense of identity, and that it would be healthy only if they do not have an animal character all the time.

An interview with a psychotherapist from Moscow State University, Vera Sukhikh, about what she thinks of quadrobics. She praises their athleticism as they play outside, and doesn’t think it’s inherently any harm. The journalist claims that quadrobists attack and bite people. The psychotherapist doesn’t actually agree that that happens, but advises that if they do attack you, they’re only children, so you should just explain to them that’s not appropriate behavior.

Political scientist Alexei Yaroshenko has an interview with 360.ru about what he thinks of quadrobics. He says Russia should recognize quadrobics as an extremist movement and banned. He says quadrobists attack passersby because when people imitate animal behavior, they are no longer guided by human morals. He says it’s the same as how people can be transgender in the West. He compares it with the “Blue Whale Challenge,” and says that quadrobics is also a deadly game. (Orion’s note: the Blue Whale Challenge is an urban legend. It was a moral panic in 2016 where people were afraid that millions of youth were committing suicide as the climax of a specific series of dares being given to them by administrators on social media.) He says that if children play on all fours, then next they will want to cross the street at the wrong place, as animals do. Everything he said was out of touch with reality. This is also the only source I read that claimed that the pop singer hadn’t really insulted the little child, that she had told her she was beautiful without her mask. That’s a distortion of facts, because independent news sources and Kremlin-aligned ones had all agreed that the pop star had gone too far in mistreating the child.

Volynets claims that after she started writing on social media that quadrobists are dangerous, she received death threats from them.
Zamanova, Rosalia (Розалия Заманова) (September 12, 2024). “В Госдуме не поддержали идею запретить квадроберов в России.” (“Duma did not support banning quadrobics in Russia.”) Gazeta.ru. https://www.gazeta.ru/social/news/2024/09/12/23906437.shtml

Yk what fuck it im otherlink now idc :P
Im cervid (primarily reindeer and excluding moose) and corvid clado link. Honestly these might be legitimate theriotypes, Ive been questioning them forever, but I neither have the time or motivation to actually try to figure it out rn so whatever. They both just feel very me but in a much less serious/deeply rooted way as my other kintypes, if I wasn't already a therian I probably wouldn't think of them as anything more than animals I enjoy portraying myself as lol
But yeah this is what I look like irl, local reindeer and bluejays hmu lets be friends ❆.°🪶
My jacket was missing a zipper pull, and I found a dog tag on the sidewalk, so I used nail polish to paint it black. It's a great new zipper pull, and I now jingle like a pet collar as I walk! Yip!
