hi!! so I'm gonna explain my own experience it could be different for others
basically, my body even tho it does not look like the stereotypical animal of what I am, is that animal. so my body (even if it doesn't "look" how it's supposed to) is that animal. I'm nonhuman and that makes every other part of me nonhuman, and that means biologically too!! my blood and bones and DNA are that of a ringtail (my species). some parts of me are more ringtail showing imo too. like my eyes, teeth, nails, proportions. basically my DNA and biological species isn't human either, it's a ringtail. because my body is physically my species that includes the inner workings of it too !! I hope this helps

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?
physical nonhumanity is not just OK , just acceptable , just valid or otherwise - physical nonhumanity is , honestly , as profound and sacred as other expressions of nonhumanity .
regardless of origin , regardless of reasons , any of that . everyone have rich lives , rich stories to tell about those lives , and that is so very wonderful !
sometimes just existing as an animal is enough. I don't have to explain myself, or do super fancy things, or buy super expensive gear, just being an animal is enough.

so because I'm questioning my plurality I put together a list of "symptoms" that could explain it, I won't share them here unless anyone wants to see them but I think it's helping me figure things out
they deserve to hang out more
likes do nothing!
how far can u go in2 the woods?
-💫🌳
far enough to find a tall tree climb in it get cozy and take a nap :)
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)

That fucking DIY wheelchair post is going around again, and none of the people reblogging it are reblogging a version that talks about the risks of using homemade mobility aids that don't fit you properly - such as that they can make your pain worse or cause pressure sores that lead to terrible infections.
I did see a couple of additions about how cool and punk it is. I don't know, is getting sepsis punk?
hot take that shouldn’t be hot:
asexual/aromantic/aspec people who are also cis and straight should be welcomed and accepted in the queer community
Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.
I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.
Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.
Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.
Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

Yeah, you! Are you trans? Do you like reading books? Or watching movies?
Do you like media about trans men/transmasculine characters but don't know where to find it?
That's sooo crazy because I have this little spreadsheet I'm working on where I'm trying to document all media with protagonists/major characters who are FTM or transmasculine.
The spreadsheet currently has 200+ entries spread across the following categories:
Books
Manga
Memoirs and non-fiction
Movies
TV Shows
Graphic novels / Comics
Webcomics
Audio dramas
Books and movies are also sorted by:
Which character is trans (MC, love interest, antagonist, etc)
If the trans character is POC
The trans character's sexuality (Because I saw lots of transhet guys sad about only being able to find gay romances)
If the author/actor is also trans (if we know for sure)
It's free to use, and free to add to as well! Editing permissions are on, and I check on the spreadsheet every now and then to make sure everything is in order and to clean up.
If you know something that isn't on the list, please add it! You don't have to fill in every single column, but fill it to the best of your abilities.
