I Love You, Nonhumans, That Write Paragraphs About Their Experiences On Tumblr. You Are Making History

I love you, nonhumans, that write paragraphs about their experiences on Tumblr. You are making history for our community. Thank you. Our community will never die out if you stay alive and just talk about your experiences, coined terms, or opinions.

No matter where you stand as a nonhuman, or even alterbeing, you are making history every time you post. Never forget that.

I love seeing posts from "rare" weres, therians with uncommon theriotypes, therians with experiences nobody else seems to relate to, endels and clinical zoanthropes with unique and diverse experiences as nonhumans, and somewhat personal blogs describing shifts, phantom, mental, or physical.

I just appreciate how humbling this community can be. I've seen the strange, the incredible, the bittersweet, the scary, etc. but it's all worth it in the end to know that I, we, are a part of a history most humans cannot fathom, and that's a gift.

The reason people specifically have a problem with AFAB transfems, m-spec lesbians, and lesboys instead of AMAB transmascs, m-spec gays, and gaygirls is because they wouldn’t be able to spout radfem shit if they focused it on groups that weren’t “invading (trans)women’s/lesbian’s spaces.” It’s not because it’s actually transmisogynistic or lesbophobic, but because they’re radical feminists, even if they include trans women who are “woman” enough for them.

it's so funny to me how terfs want trans men to be butch lesbians so bad and then when we are, but still trans, they throw a fit. like you wanna tell us that we're 'confused butch lesbians' sooooooooo bad but then when we do turn out to be butch lesbians, but also transmasc/trans men, it's a problem. cis butch lesbians only!!! like do they want us here or not, because some of us are here and staying here regardless of whatever mental gymnastics they're performing over there.

they tell us we're confused and that we don't know what we want, but it is they who are confused and have no fucking clue what they want

☄️You’re facing a lot right now, and it’s okay to feel like it’s all too much. Life can be unbelievably overwhelming and painful, and it’s understandable that you’re struggling. You matter, and even when life feels heavy, your existence holds immense value. You’re not defined by the tough times; you’re defined by the courage you keep showing in facing them. Keep moving forward, even if it’s just one small step at a time. Even if you have to take a moment to pause. Even if you fall backwards. I believe and care about you☄️

Hey, it's October now! Its my absolute favorite month that contains my favorite holiday.

However, Halloween and the days leading up to it can be very stressful for psychotic folk.

So!

Please:

Do not trip paranoia/strengthen delusions on purpose for fun. If you are in a position to stoke someone's paranoia or to ease it, do the kind thing. If you're faced with a delusion, do not advance it. This doesn't necessarily mean give an unwanted reality check, it just means do not take it further.

Do not take advantage of people's psychosis for a laugh. Don't pretend like real things are just hallucinations and that you can't experience them, and do not pretend that genuine hallucinations are real. You could do some serious damage to a person by making them think they're hallucinating when they're not, and you can do just as much damage if you convince them that what they are hallucinating is real.

Do not mock and demonize our mental illness with offensive costumes. We are not a joke. Don't run around in straight jackets. Its not funny, it's not quirky, it's not cool. Its ableist. Psychotic people, as well as many other groups of people, have faced years of active hatred and oppression. Its not funny to poke fun at those times of abuse.

Do not encourage the narrative of asylums filled with murderous, "insane" monsters or the stereotype of "crazy" killers. Go to a different haunted house. We are not a horror sideshow, we are real people who have suffered real terror, real trauma, and real challenges. Its not ok and it's actively harmful.

It takes very little effort to make psychotic people feel welcome and comfortable this Halloween. Please don't ostracize us.

Have a good October and a happy Halloween!

when referring to myself, i will use first person pronouns. the only time i dont is when im around folks who dont know my 'types. though usually i just avoid talking about my alterhumanity at all around those people

Fictives of specific characters, when referring to your type do you say: I, third person, alternate generally, alternate depending on who you speak to or something else?

I'm assuming you mean fictionkins, since this isn't a plurality blog, but fictives/introjects are welcome to answer as well! ^-^
