Hii!:p Could You Do A Ord Or A Cassie From Dragons Tales Mood Board?

you can only reblog this today

Tiktok therians piss me off SO BAD. beacuse why did I just see someone say "well!! You can't identify as a song! that's just stupid!!" We are in the same community, we aren't supposed to judge eachother,

also shotout to songkins! You guys don't get enough attention

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?

the ache i feel of others not viewing me as a sea wolf feels like saltwater in my lungs. it’s not in a “i wish i were a sea wolf” way, it’s in a “i’m a fucking sea wolf but no one sees me as that” way. i wish to be seen. i want people to look at me like i’m rabid, like i’m a feral canine. because that’s what i am.

does anyone have a big list of just nonhuman/alter human labels? I'm questioning a part of my self and I know I don't need a label that's already existing or to have one at all but it would be nice to look through!!

thank you <3

mhm!!! I am ringtail on this physical earth we walk and mentally and just all of it!! and hey, if you see your physical body of that of a dog or whatever other species, you could also be a physical therian! it's a lot of self discovery, I believe in you!!

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

if anyone wants they should totally ask me questions that you would ask someone who is a system/plural/multiple in anyway and maybe it'll help me figure out how I experience plurality :)

(plus I just like answering questions)

Reblog if you think trans women:

A. Are women

B. Can be lesbians

Ok so this is going to come off as rude...but as the one who came up with the concept of theriform I have to specify;

It is not an identity label.

It is a term to allow us to talk about members of our species whose bodily structure and levels of sapience are typical for that of our species, without using invalidating terms like 'biological (animal)' or 'real (animal)'.

If those who were born into differently shaped bodies with human-level sapience start to use it too the term becomes meaningless and inaccurate.

Please do not use it as an identity label.

tbh kinda a serious post

I feel like the therian community is kinda losing what therianthropy means. Esp the newer people. I’ve seen therians that wear gear be rude to therians that don’t. It was because they saw them as invalid.

Please don’t lose sight of what therianthropy actually is. And just because someone isn’t wearing gear doesn’t mean that they “aren’t a real therian” they just express themselves differently.
