If It Helps, I'm Nonhuman (therian, Otherkin), An Age Regressor, Furry, Exploring Gyaru And Lolita Lifestyles/makeup,

We don’t have enough disabled therian representation.

It’s true. We don’t. Since the therian community is mainly online, we don’t get a lot of disabled therians. That is mainly because the algorithm pushes mainly quads and masks. It also kinda ties into my last post about the therian community being very quads and gear centered.

Many disabled people (myself included) aren’t able to do quads. And in a world that’s already not made for us, “coming out” as a therian can place unnecessary pressure on us to be able to do quads and wear gear.

I’m gonna be real with y’all, I can’t live my life without being in pain 24/7. I have multiple disabilities and while i’d love to have gear and do quads, my body just doesn’t allow it.

TLDR: even though disabled therians are underrepresented in the therian community, please don’t discount our existence.

Thanks for reading!

i love getting human perks. endless plushies and toys. thumbs. being able to draw. being able to attend concerts and mosh. being able to go online and chat with people who share similar experiences of a variety of things. to transition genders, cozy blankets and fashion.

reminder to find positives in your lifetime, even if it wasnt the one you meant to have<3

OH MY GOD. PHYSICAL THERIANS ARE VALID. this shouldn't be discourse. if you are a physical anything, you are valid. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream resources available saying it's all nonphysical or it's only okay if you "recognize your human body"

my body has never fucking been human and it never ever will be. for some, they do have a human body or partially do!!! and many of us don't as well!!!!

I am physically and biologically a ringtail and have never ever been human in literally any way. sure my sapience is higher but does that mean anything? NO I'm so frustrated and upset

thank you for reading my rant

kind of feeling like the shift from “physical nonhumanity is a term for those who literally physically experience their body as nonhuman” to “physical nonhumanity includes literally any nonhuman because they feel like they metaphorically or philosophically, not physically, have a nonhuman body” is so similar to the bastardization of the word “therian” by those who don’t actually identify as therians.

specifically in the case of physical nonhumans, i see it following this pattern and slowly becoming unsafe for those who are actually literally physically nonhuman to use that term. because now those who aren’t, but who still claim to be physically nonhuman, are the ones going “ew, you ACTUALLY think you have the body of an animal?? that’s clinical lycanthropy, you’re just delusional!!” and “physical nonhumans don’t ACTUALLY think we have nonhuman bodies. we know we’re human!!”

like we’re being pushed out of our own spaces, our own terms.

don’t you see? history repeating itself? “therians don’t ACTUALLY think we’re animals, that’s clinical lycanthropy!! if you ACTUALLY identify as an animal, you’re delusional!!”

it irks me that folks insist on claiming words that were not meant for them and then push out those who were already using it. why not make your own term if you want it to mean something different?

why do i have to learn how to drive im supposed to be running on my paws in the woods and spooking people :(

sandhill cranes

if you were a loom kid did you grow up into a Kandi kid cuz same

are there any nonhuman who are their species due to trauma with that species? I know of those who are their species caused by a trauma response but for example, a dogkin because they had been bitten by a dog

no one has to share due to trauma being a personal experience, but if anyone would like too I am very curious and would like to learn more!

does it ever make you dysphoric that like, you understand language. I can write and read and speak it and sometimes it just feels wrong. I don't like it. speaking sometimes makes me so dysphoric I almost just dissociate to deal with it

having to do and live through the very basic parts of human society makes me feel even more dysphoric and stuck in my own body. I don't see myself like them and yet they see me as them and I'm bound by their norms and omg I hate it
