Does anybody else hate that sometimes therianthropy is treated like a cute aesthetic rather than an animalistic identity?

I get species euphoria by ripping objects apart, chasing animals, eating without utensils, walking on my toes, feeling how sharp my canine teeth are, among other things. None of these things are dainty or aesthetic, and to the average person it's probably not acceptable/normal behavior.

I feel like therians should (in a reasonable manner, we're still humans/humanoids guys) show this side more. Being animalistic in some way is part of being a therian and it shouldn't be shameful

Note: Im not 100 percent active in the alterhuman community so if I've gotten anything wrong since the last time I was here forgive me

You're overthinking your theriotype research.

"What do I act like. Whats my personality. Whats my mood? Whats-"

What do you feel like.

You could be a wolf that likes being pet and like toys.

You could be a cat that likes water and forests.

You could even be a dog that prefers forests.

Therianthropy is what YOU feel like you are.

If what you're personality "shows" you are is something that you feel like you arent. Then you arent. Despite what the signs are.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE.

This doesn't mean "oh I WANT to be a bird so ill pick bird." No- do you *feel* more like a bird than human?

Remember. Getting your theriotype wrong is normal. Theriotypes changing is normal. Were all non-human together.

DONT OVERTHINK IT!

Fully prepared to accept my alterhumanity as a symptom of mental illness.

Why?

Because it changes absolutely nothing.

Maybe it's a delusion. Maybe it's a reaction to dissociation. Maybe it's a coping mechanism to hell knows what. Maybe it's the onset of psychosis or related disorders (though I highly doubt it).

But all that doesn't matter, but it's still real to me. It's my experience. It's my identity. It doesn't matter what it's caused by, I still feel how I feel. Just because it's a delusion or disorder to the rest of the world doesn't mean it's not my own personal reality.

At the end of the day, I'm still not human, because that's how I experience my own identity.

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?

Hey, so like, SOME therians. By SOME, I mean the outwardly ableist. I mean the outwardly fatphobic. The ones with racism that they can't even try to hide. The judgmental therians. The therians who believe they're the only "real therians" and most other therians are just faking. Any fucking toxic therian out there. Can we really, really NOT dictate someone's identity because it's 'different'? Stop pandering to humans and start defending your therian siblings, otherkin cousins, and nonhuman relatives. Please. PLEASE.

All of that energy towards "fake therians", your fucking ableism, and judging others for even the slightest bit of variety could go towards actually speaking to a clinical lycanthrope, a physical therian, an objectkin, or any unconventional kin. You could put that hate into energy to learn, but it's just easier to criticize and hate others, huh? You don't want to accept that others that you choose not to believe exist in your reality actually do exist in your reality, huh? Get off your high horse, stop policing others' identities, and start asking yourself why the hell you've become so bitter about others existing and being themselves. Why does it bother you so much that the foxfolk is actually physically a fox? Why does it bother you that the objectkin talks about how they don't relate to your animalistic shifts? Why does it bother you that clinical lycanthropes have built a community for themselves and are thriving in the absence of ableism, and can talk about their experiences without being called "crazy", "attention-seeking", "too much", or "gross and weird"? Why are you so gobsmacked that therianthropy isn't a monolith, and that everyone around you is actually different beings with different souls, personalities, mental capabilities, talents, and more. They are just as varied as humans are. It's time to learn to accept that.

This is just becoming so fucking disgusting. I don't care how this post comes off. If you feel threatened or called out by it, ask yourself why. Maybe you're part of the problem.

If this post does garner more attention, I'll probably edit it just in case I come off as too harsh. I'm just really, really annoyed and saw a post that sent me over the edge tonight. I'm so tired of this.
