moved to schizofoxic

a term used to describe a being who may appear as human, but is not.

a symbol i made for this term.

note that i did not come up with the term, just the symbol.

using the greek letter for H (heta) and P (pi) i combined the two. the symbol is called heta-pi and is written as ͰΠ

The way they did it was not via pills but..

I can’t let anyone else give up like that.

So I see the alterhuman side of Tumblr is starting to normalize clinical lycanthropy so I js wanted to put this out here

BELIEVING U R PHYSICALLY AN ANIMAL IS A DISORDER

It's not good, it's a delusion, it's just bad this is CLINICAL LYCANTHROPY.

"Losing control" during shifts IS NOT NORMAL.

If you're "losing control" during mental shifts and going into a neighbors yard, killing birds, etc, THAT IS NOT NORMAL. it is NOT. Therianthropy at that point it is a PROBLEM.

If you believe that you are PHYSICALLY an animal or lose control during shifts, that is NOT normal therianthropy.

"Oh but that's what being non-human is!!!"

NO IT'S NOT.

U shouldn't lose control when ur shifting???

U should think you are physically an animal because you're not, you're physically a human, but mentally yes you're an animal stuck in a human body BUT YOU'RE STILL IN A HUMAN BODY.

Yes I say "oh I'm a (insert my theriotype)" but I'm not FUCKING saying I'm not a human

And don't pull up with that bullshit of "it's like saying 'oh trans women-'" NO IT'S FUCKING NOT. Ur opinion is fucking invalid

If you don't know that you're physically a fucking human that is not normal. That is not ok.

U can obv call yourself an animal etc etc etc

We have existed, we still exist, and we *will* exist. And we deserve to have a place to exist and talk with others of similar experience. These attitudes, like the one you carry, made me feel unwelcome in the community for more than half a decade, before it was I could feel comfortable to call myself therian. Some days still I wonder if I am actually welcome and part of this community.

I have schizophrenia, and my experience of having my identity medicalized, being locked away in hospitals and forced onto horrible medicine, only did to me great harm. Many others carry to them similar stories. I do not know you, nor the depth of your intent; but whether you believe that by cleansing the "crazies" from the community, the outside world will take you seriously; or that by medicalizing yourself and your own identity you can gain credibility by having a disgnosis to point to; in either case you are dearly mistaken. People will not treat you better for it, and in the meantime you attempt to crush others under your feet and climb atop us or excise us from our communities. It did not work for trying to drop bixseuals from the gay community. It did not work for LGB drop the T. It did not work for the Transmedicalists. It did not work to try to exclude the Asexuals from LGBT. It did not work for the Autistic community. It did not work for the mental health advocates of "sanitized disorders". Nor indeed will it work for you.

Normalization is about many things. For us who experience or have experienced clinical zoanthropy, it is a place to talk and share our experiences, to not feel so lonely or isolated in our quite rare experience, even on here there are maybe half of a dozen people at most who talk about it, and our expeirences vary wildly. It is such a wonderful feeling to have a place where I do not need to preface every experience and description with the dance of "showing insight". I can just exist and my experiences can be presented and accepted as real, just as real as they are to me. Schizospectrum, psychotic, and dissociative disorders are very heavily maligned and stigmatized; those of us who experience clinical zoanthropy often fall into one of these disorders, and it bears the stigma of those disorders. Normalization brings to us the understanding that we can and do exist in a wide variety of ways, and that we are not inherently evil, wicked, or broken for it. And that public knowledge also means that for people who do choose to pursue medical intervention (and not have it forced upon them), that there will be more resources and knowledge and better tools and targets for medical professions than the mere crude cudgel of the chemical lobotomy (neuroleptics, antipsychotics, etc).
