Physical nonhuman and education

Posted on Tumblr on May 18, 2025

I think often folks confuse, in regards with physical nonhumanity, physical therians, holotheres... The difference between when someone says they look nonhuman and when someone says they are physically nonhuman.

Before I proceed, I want to preface this saying I base all of this in my experience. It is my experience, I may be wrong, I may be mistaken. I may even lose followers over this. This is my blog, my den. My safe space. As long as I'm not harming anyone, my opinions are free to have. And that's okay.

With all of that said... Maybe this may be yelling at a cloud kind of thing. I'm an holothere. Nonhuman in every way. That means that my organs are nonhuman, my blood is nonhuman, my brain is nonhuman, my body is nonhuman. And it is what it is. The problem with my body is that my wings are trapped under my skin, which was sown over them. My watcher body was turned into a more human like one. But, regardless of what I look like, nothing will change the fact that my hands are claws, my feet are talons, my body is eyes and void matter molded and shifted into a human form. Form. Not body.

I think it's not delusional of my part that I want this nonhuman body to take a step further, to be able to fly properly. But I can work with what I have. I hide my cape in my closet and I use human clothes to fit in.

The point of all of this, why does the alterhuman community insist on inflicting ideologies on something that, at the end of the day, is very very personal, and very, very individual? Who cares if that folk who says that they can transform into a fox under the moonlight, who cares if it may seem impossible to you? Alterhumanity, regardless of its form, it's an identity. It's not the same for everyone, and it shouldn't be. I hate seeing someone talking about how they want to transition in the future, or to live like an animal, or they dare to show the ugliest parts of their identity... Who are you to shoo them away? It's their life!

And I get it, creatures in this app love to educate and correct misinformation. Heck, I do that too sometimes. But one thing is correcting definitions on terms, or things like that... And a very different thing is to invalidate what they are saying because it's 'impossible' in their own little box.
