When someone says "therians/otherkins/(insert other form of alterhumanity here) are delusional/insane!!!"
Like no. Please shut up. You do not know what your talking about.
CAN alterhumanity be influenced or caused by delusions or other mental illnesses? Yes, absolutely. I sure as hell know mine were at first.
But also, for many people its a spiritual belief, not only are you disrespecting someones spiritual/religious beliefs but also comparing just generally haveing those beliefs to haveing delusions, which at least for me are horrifying and serious things to experience, whether tied to my humanity or not.
EVEN THEN, people whos alterhumanity is caused by delusions or disorders or mental illnesses have a very valid and real place in our community. They dont feel human? Then theyre welcome here. Its a sode of the community that made me feel like my identity was still valid dispite my mental health struggles.
Sincerely, a delusional alterhuman whos SO tired of hearing that bullshit.
This is the intersection of saneism and alterhumisia
