#alterhuman safe

"They believe they are x" means they are x.

"They identify as x" means they are x.

I have an AO3 account linked here, though be aware it’s very kinky. If you do not like the kinks mentioned in a large majority of my fics, I would not recommend it.

I write analysis on some of the fandoms I’m in. Feel free to block them if they don’t suit you. Or, you can just block me if I am not your cup of tea either.

It seems like I've had a surge of blogs following lately that are bloggers who are not human! I would say alterhuman, but I see in some pinned posts that not everyone aligns with that term.

This has motivated me to ask a few questions, since I've been told that there are many non-humans(?) in the paraphile community, and I want to be as inclusive as possible with my language. These questions are open for anyone to answer, and obviously I know that not every answer will be the same. But it's helpful for someone like me who doesn't know much about this community. You can reblog, reply, or submit an ask with your answer, to whichever questions you would like to answer.

Questions

When someone is speaking generally and uses 'people' terms (i.e. saying 'people', 'person', 'human', etc.), how does that make you feel? Is it okay because someone is speaking generally and not calling you a human directly, or is it still not okay?

Are there any terms aside from 'being' and 'beings' that you use to replace human-centered language? (That's the only one I've seen so far.)

Do words like 'someone', 'anyone', and 'everyone' count as human-centered language? Or is it okay because that 'one' could refer to any being, human or not?

Do you accept the use of 'theriform' to distinguish between the 'traditional' definition of animal and the more inclusive definition that includes alterhumans and nonhumans? If someone says not to distinguish the two, do you believe that would make it harder to discuss contact stances (i.e. the difference between being anti-contact with theriform animals and anti-contact with alterhumans/nonhumans [if that's even a stance])?

Is 'otherkin' a separate label from 'alterhuman'? Is it okay to use the two interchangably?

Thank you for your help!

Transspecies

[pt. transspecies]

Someone who is transitioning or wants to transition into another species. Identifying as transspecies does not mean someone is experiencing delusions. Being transspecies does not mean someone is a radqueer or supports radqueers. Some transspecies individuals don't consider it a TransID, some do. Transspecies is sometimes used with the same meaning as otherkin or therian.
