nimdreamsI am joining in on this tag! Alterhuman terms and how I feel about them for myself.
Alterhuman 10/10. As soon as I learned the term alterhuman, after being in the therian and otherkin community for a little while, I loved this term for myself. Now that I literally identify as an altered human, something that used to be human but isn't anymore, alterhuman fits me even more perfectly. I also love it as dream conceptfolk and for my conselic identity. Alterhuman encompasses it all.
Nonhuman 10/10. I like this one a lot too. In my current form, as my kintype, I am not human and I feel that very strongly. Especially in dreams, I walk around feeling nonhuman and use that word to describe myself.
Otherkin 5/10. I don't really feel like this one suits me anymore. I never quite liked it, and only used it because it is technically what I am. I don't like calling my kintype otherkin, but I do still use the term kintype as it is more specific than altertype and makes it clear how my nonhuman identity is involuntary as well as something I identify *as*.
Therian 3/10. I never felt quite comfortable using therian for myself, as I never felt animalistic enough compared to others. My animality is just slightly different from therianthropy.
Animalhearted 10/10. This one fits me much better than therian and I do prefer to use hearted over kith (6/10).
Human 2/10. I can see your confusion, and I guess I was human once, but that is not what I am. I do look like one still and am not mad at the mistake, but if you know me truly, calling me human feels like an insult.
Person 8/10. Sure, I am a person, but it's not like being called one makes me extra happy.
Specific identity 10/10. Yes, being acknowledged as oneiric, a dreamling, constelic etc makes me super happy. To be seen as the constel that is phasing feels so good.
