#allithropy

"Allithropy" is a label that can be used by creatures who identify as or with a nonhuman on a metaphorical level,

For example someone may identify as/with a wolf because wolves symbolize strength and dominance, and they feel like it fits them well, or they might see themselves as nonhuman metaphorically because of trauma, and they feel like that creature represents in some way what they went through or what they felt like during that trauma.

This term can coexist with other alterbeing labels

Flag symbolisms:

The yellow circle symbolizes the identity as a whole.

The "ocean wave" symbol in the middle symbolizes the deeper meaning of a metaphorical identity and how you need to look into it more to understand it.

The green stripe symbolizes the ground level of the identity, how it looks like on the outside, for example how a wolf may seem like just a wolf and "nothing more".

The blue stripes symbolize creatures that exist or have existed at some point.

The purple stripes symbolize creatures that are mythical or fictional.

"Alli" are the first letters of the greek word "αλληγορικός (alligorikós)" which means metaphorical

I made this label based on my own and my boyfriend's experiences with alterhumanity, anyone can use it without credit, unless you're reposting it somewhere else!
