I Keep Seeing Misinformation About This, So: Queerplatonic Relationships Do Not Have A Set Definition.

i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.

the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

This. I am also both trans [under the umbrella, specifically under the nonbinary umbrella, lol] and alterhuman/nonhuman (I use both terms, as well as some others) and my gender and species dysphoria a lot of the time go together.

Also, my friend who is trans also sees how similar it is at times for gender and species dysphoria because I talk to him about my species (and gender but that's not the point here) dysphoria. [I hope this part makes any sense, lol].

Both my gender and species dysphoria fucking suck, I get a similar feeling from both. One [in my case] just feels a little bit worse. Cause to me, it almost feels like I'll always be seen as just a human even more than always being seen as the gender I am not. I am not a human, Idc what this body is, I am not my body. I am not my body in the way of gender as well, but I feel like more people respect that (not trying to undermine anyone's experience, hell I deal with transphobia all the time even if the people who are don't know I am trans). People seem to understand it more. It's something that makes more sense to them.

I really hope that this makes sense, lol.

I think the whole "therianthropy is a mockery of transness" lie did a LOT of damage to our community. We're afraid to draw parallels that are actually quite helpful.

"Trans" is an adjective that can 8e appended to words like woman, man, or person to add extra context. This is how I 8elieve alterhuman la8els should 8e used: "fictionkind Vriska" shares a little more context around my experience than just "Vriska", and "therian spider" shares a little more context around my experience than just "a spider." However, I don't really ever see people just saying "spider" or "Vriska," or any counterparts. You get the gist. There have 8een a lot of posts around this topic recently (most from me of course LOL) 8ut that's not it.

I also feel like this has made us afraid to discuss species dysphoria as anything 8eyond "I have this 8tw." Like, no? This isn't just a sad feeling that pops up occasionally. It is deha8ilit8ing. I am as much as a suicide risk as any trans person with gender dysphoria. This portrayal of species dysphoria has normalized invalid8ion IMO. Misgendering is never okay, 8ut... The alterhuman equivalent? It's fine! No hard feelings there. (Don't get transmedicalist a8out this, I'll 8ite you.)

I. Can't think of any more actually! So please re8log with any examples you have, I'd love to hear.

Yeah, let's start normalizing this!! [Other nonhumans or alterhumans feel free to add onto this!]

Hello, I'm Shay, and I'm a wolfdog, cat, crow[maybe? I'm starting to question this again], questioning dragon, and uh, I'm also ockin! Also questioning other kintypes but whatever, lol. I almost forgot, I'm also a fallen angel, though that also goes under one of my ockin types, lol.

i wish being nonhuman was normalised. i wish i could go to new people and introduce myself like "hi, im Talon, im a dragon" and they could just say "oh, nice to meet you!" and act, you know, like normal.

sigh...

Reblog if you're not human

Random little thing, I have now [by that I mean for a little bit] been kinsidering ANOTHER MHA OCkin/noncanon character. This is fun, totally [slightly sarcastic].

But seriously, why did this have to happen?

I don't know much, lol. This basically came from me realizing that I sometimes [a lot actually] feel like I have/had a different quirk (power) and shit than I do/did as Zuki.

Help. Idk what's going on. I'll probably update on this situation when I know more about this kintype/possible kintype [it feels so weird to call it that, it's me, it's myself].

The fact that because of the nature [is that the right word?] of the/my quirk (power), I questioned two other OCs/non canon characters that I remember from being Zuki and neither fit properly. Also, I'm not sure if it's/I'm from the same AU as Zuki.

[This feels weird to explain and probably isn't even understandable by anyone but myself, lol].

I have no idea what my name even is/was, lol. Has anyone else ever experienced this, or is it just me? Lol.

Just realized maybe this is another Zuki kintype, like from a different AU but still Zuki [though that doesn't seem quite right, idk].

(Messing around with strikeouts, hopefully this doesn't make it too hard to read for others, sorry if it does).
