miau im tempted to identify with the term nonhuman but I Kind of want to stay unlabeled in terms of alterhumanity. (i do indeed view myself as something else besides a human, nothing really specific besides terms like "creature" and "monster", but sometimes i do feel like a "zombie", i think the reason why im so afraid to use the term is the very immature and messy community i saw at first when i had discovered alterhumanity, more specifically therianthropy X_X mainly the community was populated with young children, and people were obsessed with calling each other "fake therians")
ah yeah i've noticed a lot of that in therian spaces that skew younger .. i avoid those kind of spaces
ALSO this is not to say everyone who identifies as a therian or alterhuman in general is like what i said in the parenthesis, i had seen only just the youtube/tiktok side of the therian community: that is just something that left a sour taste in my mouth and likely affects why i connect so much with the term nonhuman but am afraid to use it
