I've talked before about how canine centric the nonhuman community is, but what also bothers me is how even the language is made to center canines. Terms like graymuzzle for example, or sometimes I'll hear about "alterhuman packs." (Are they? Or are they just wolf packs?) Hell, I've even heard that the term "shift" came from werewolf shapeshifting.
If I'm in this community long enough, I don't ever want to be called graymuzzle or be referred to with canine language, because I am not a canine in any way, shape, or form. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I do not want to be represented by canines. They're experiences are not universal.
today is my birthday!!
sorry but being autistic and "not understanding conflicting labels" is NOT an excuse to put queer labels on your dni. Saying "lesboys dni" is just as bad as saying "trans men dni" or "lesbians dni". You can't pick and chose which queer people you do and don't accept. You either accept us all or accept no one. We are a community. Don't use autism to excuse transphobic and lesbophobic behavior.
Augusti~
quick question, and i mean no hate or disrespect, but how can you not support/like transIDs when you use a transID (Transspecies)? /genq
Thanks for asking about this! I get that it can seem confusing or contradictory to some so Im happy to discuss it :)
For one, transspecies isn't transID, it's just.. a regular trans identity. The term transspecies has existed within the alterhuman community for literal decades, long before the creation of the "transID" community. It's a term that has quite literally been stolen and appropriated by a group of people who the majority of alterhumans dislike and want no part in. In terms of origin, function, and social implications, it is infinitely more comparable to being transgender (an identity i don't see ever being included in transID specific discussions) than it is to something like "transBPD".
Secondly, even if it was somehow transID (which again it's not), it still doesn't carry any of the same discriminatory mindset or just flat out impossibility of existence the way most transID do. Species identity and the idea of what it means to be "human" is almost entirely socially constructed, not completely dissimilar to gender. There are rules and de facto societal ideas about how someone must "be a human", which not everyone can neatly fit into. It is something experienced by all beings living within human society, and is therefore something that can be transitioned away from or out of. Whereas something like being autistic is not socially constructed and not something someone can simply transition into. While yes, there are certainly social implications, expectations, and roles placed upon autistic individuals, autism itself is not a social construct, it's an actual tangible neurological phenomenon, making it impossible to be "transautistic".
This ideology also promotes discriminatory beliefs against minority groups. It dismembers and fetishizes the lived experiences of entire cultures, communities, and individuals, lived experiences these "trans" individuals will literally never have. If you are not "cis autistic" you will never ever truly know what it is like to live as an autistic person, no matter how badly you want to. Same can be said for other transID identities. I understand that atypical dysphoria does exist (hell, I have some of my own), and I dont doubt that these are real emotions people have, but that doesn't make it okay to try and say you actually are those things and impose yourself upon groups of people you are not part of. I guess if someone has a harmless transID like "trans brown hair color" or smth then I don't really care all that much, but otherwise I have zero tolerance for people who believe they can forcibly integrate themselves into an entire culture just because they feel like it.
TLDR: Transspecies isn't TransID it's just regular trans, but even if it was I would still support it because it doesn't promote discriminatory and fetishistic ideas about certain groups of people.
Being trans nonbinary is so annoying because my brain is like "We have dysphoria, let's transition so we can pass!"
Pass as what?
It's so stupid hard to "pass" as androgynous to the general public. It's this obnoxiously thin line that feels completely out of reach to get to, at least not without giving up other forms of gender expression that feel euphoric to me. I wouldn't even mind not being fully androgynous, if nothing else I just want to make people stop and think for a second before they inevitably go ahead and misgender me anyways.
It sucks that the best I can hope for in terms of transition is confusion. I see trans binary folks talking about the euphoria they get from passing and being accepted in society as their true gender, having the ability to go stealth. And I desperately want that too. I wish people weren't so hellbent on sorting others into binaries at all costs, and I wish there was hrt that could make me androgynous without giving me other traits that I dont want (ex. facial hair, bottom growth, heavily masculine voice). I literally just want to be seen as who I actually am and it's crushing knowing Im probably never going to get to have that.

Uhhh idk like I said mostly just shitposting and small things Im too lazy to journal about π This blog will primarily be dedicated to alterhuman thoughts, experiences, artwork, opinions, and activities, however I may occasionally touch on subjects relating to queerness, transness, neurodivergency, furry, and more.
βπ±Β° DNI Β°π±β
I dont rlly have a strict dni, but in general I dislike radqueers + transID ppl and really do not agree with their ideology/their involvement within alterhuman spaces. Same can be applied to folks who publicly glorify and promote abuse/assault for their own personal enjoyment (aka proshippers), and anyone who thinks it's okay to be proud of wanting to assault children (respectfully, you should be hunted for sport <3). As for everyone else, ig just dont be a dick/creep and we're good :3
βπ±Β°Thank you for reading this far!! I cant wait to be insanely cringey and say stupid shit, and hopefully make some friends ^^ <3Β°π±β

STOP THIS IS SO COOL WHAT
The symbol genuinely looks so good omg, I will 100% be using it in the future
It legit makes me so so happy seeing other beings be inspired by my ideas and putting their own spin on it lol this is exactly what I wanted from my original post :3
alternative transspecies flag
i personally believe transspecies is transitioning (socially or medically) to your desired species, including the change of sex identity and sex traits related to species.
personally, because i think shortened words are cool, i like using "transse" (trans-sea/trans-sΓ©) short for [transs]peci[e]s.
the symbol was inspired by the image all the way at the bottom, not by me.
flag is four horizontal stripes, top to bottom; cranberry, lavender, white, lavender, cranberry, then a thin black bar on the right side. symbol is an alternative transspecies symbol, featuring a mix between the bigenital symbol, the mars symbol, the venus symbol with the holothere anchor, and a rounded theta delta.
examples:
a transspecies mare, a transse bull, a transspecies gonosimulite, speciesqueer tom, etc...
i think if a femme ever traced my collarbone with her finger and called me "dog" i would simply have no choice other than to implode in on myself
