Anyone Else Feel Like An Outcast In The Alterhuman Community?

Anyone else feel like an outcast in the alterhuman community?

Most of the therians/alterhumans/nonhumans I see online are minors; I’m 20 years old.

Most of them can do quadrobics; I can’t run on all fours for five minutes without everything hurting, and if I did a jump, I’d probably break my wrists

A lot of them seem to enjoy the company of humans; I’ve never trusted or liked humans

Most of the community talks about being “silly” or “cute” when experiencing a mental shift; I have violent, animal instincts and avoid others when I feel a mental shift coming on

I don’t know. I just feel like a lot of us have become… tame. And I’m not. I feel like we as a community don’t talk about the “darker” side of not being human. The violent prey drive. The instinctive fear of humans that wild animals have.

To clarify, I mean no hate towards those who genuinely enjoy not being human. I just feel like even in a community of outcasts, I’m an outcast.

It’s just frustrating. In a place meant for those who aren’t human, I’m still too different to fit in. I just want to have a place to belong, you know?

(This is an edit) So, it seems I’m definitely not the only one. If anyone wants to talk about their less normalized instincts, shifts, etc., feel free to in the comments. If I find any hate or harassment in my comments, that person’s hateful comment will be removed and they’ll be blocked. My blog is a safe space

Transition goals

Also, yes, I did finally find a drawing that looks just like my dragon kintype. All credit for said drawing goes to Dean Spencer, the person who made it. I don’t know that person; I found this image with a google search. All I know is that I like this art and will be using it as inspiration in the future

reblog if you’ve never hit post limit before.

Like if you have, comment if you’re currently on it or ignore if you want idk im just curious

To anyone getting mad at the alterhuman community for using the word “dysphoria” to describe how they feel, please know that it actually is an accurate description of the feeling. It doesn’t make someone transphobic to use a word that isn’t only associated with trans people. Please know what words mean before getting mad at someone for using that word.

As an alterhuman who is also trans, I can say that gender and species dysphoria feel pretty much the same
