Im really happy that bioterms are catching on.
Here is a more official bioterms post.
Bioterms relay how someone wants their body to be referred to.
Ex: Someone with wolf bioterms may want their hands and feet referred to as their paws, their haired referred to as their fur, their mouth and nose to be referred to as their snout, their clothes referred to as their pelt, etc.
Bioterms can be put in bios like pronouns.
Ex: Toby he/they (raven bioterms)

i think im just gonna start referring to my bod(ily needs) as "my human"
"oh yeah my human was having trouble waking up"
"my human needs to shower"
fun lil list of some of the things ive been incorporating into my vocabulary to make how i refer to myself and my body and how i go about life more species affirming
front/hind paws instead of hands/feet (alternatively ill use handpaws/feetpaws)
paw pads instead of palms/soles of feet
fur instead of hair
claws instead of nails
fangs instead of teeth
snout to refer to the nose/mouth area of my face
get off my tail instead of get off my ass
losing my bark instead of losing my voice
going to the vet/groomer instead of going to the doctor/hair stylist
saying dog/puppy/pup when referring to myself in the third-person
Ok, having known about the words "bioterms" and "vivterms" for all of 5 minutes now, I do have to say that regardless of the everything else around the current bio- vs. viv- discourse, "vivterms" comes out on top for me because the etymology itself is more obviously inclusive of all the facets of experience an alterhuman might want to cover with affirming terms. I get that functionally the two words mean "exactly the same thing," but a fox's den isn't a part of its biology, it's a part of its life.
what are bioterms
I reblogged a post not long ago about it, but basically bioterms are how someone wants you to refer to their body.
For example, if someone uses bird bioterms, they might want their mouth and nose to be referred to as they’re beak, they’re arms referred to as their wings, their hair referred to as feathers, etc. Or if someone uses, say, canine bioterms, they might want u to refer to they’re hand and feet as paws, mouth and nose as snout or muzzle, teeth as fangs, hair as fur, and so on.
These are typically used by alterhuman or people in similar communities, but rly anyone can use them if they want.
Hope this helped!! :3

Just so everycritter knows: I have changed bioterms to vivterms in my pinned comment as I am aware the use of bioterms may make physical shifters feel unsafe on my blog.
This is not what I want. I support you all and I want you to feel safe here ^^
I’m sorry if I turned anycritter away
Bioterm is such a funny silly word
yeah no ill never be using such a strange word, as a p-shifter i have no interest in supporting a label that was made by someone who is vehemenantly against people like me and similar communities such as physical nonhumans and biological nonhumans and holotheres. not interested.
i mean like yes i do *use* the inherent definition of bioterms when im shifted mentally or just in general ("my paws are so clunky when i type") ("my fur is scratching my skin really badly") (etc) but its not something i constantly need to use, you know?
thank you clown shifter for bringing awareness to the issue regarding such a term. Ive seen other labels for similar definitions such as vocab preference and (*species*) terms.
I've known about the words "vivterms" and "bioterms" (literally just synonyms whose only difference is the coiners' discourse stances, I hate the internet) for about 2 minutes and idk I think good old "nonhuman terms" is a lot easier than coining 200 ways to say the same thing that will inevitably need re-explained every five minutes actually. Could just be me though
