#essembra

Reminder!:

Not all Alterhumans are nonhuman

Not all Alterhumans are fully nonhuman

Some Alterhumans are partially nonhuman

Some Alterhumans are human

Otherheartedness is a deep rooted identity, just as otherkinity is

Otherlinks are valid

P-shifters, biological Therians and delusional Therians are valid

Therianthropy is the experience of identifying as an animal in ANY way

Alterhumanity is an umbrella term for all beings who aren't fully human in any way

Alterhumanity isn't just Therians, otherkins and otherhearteds

Therianthropy is not masks and tails and quadrobics

Edit: [the label otherpaw isn't actually harmful]

Quadrobics does not make you a therian

Some nonhumans don't like the label therian

Physical Therians and biological Therians do not make the community look bad

Alot 'therians' on yt and TikTok are just misinformed kids who do not deserve hate for a mistake

(We are flopping so bad because we had to take a break 🥀, also we need cool moots because we had to block some recently)

ESSEMBRA [es-sem-bra] — a word for creatures who are living shadows, made up of shadow, and other variations. this is a name for the experience of being a living shadow, humanoid or otherwise. essembrae can choose to willingly use this term or not, but it should not be pushed upon one. (the plural form of this term would be essembrae.) etymology - esse from the latin word esse meaning "to be", mbra from the latin word umbra meaning "shade"

ESSEMBRIDEN [es-sem-bri-den] — a gender exclusive to those who are essembrae, this gender is outside of human experiences of gender, and is hard to describe with words used for human genders. this gender could be considered KEIN and/or ALHIN, depending on the user of the term. etymology - esse from the latin word esse meaning "to be", mbrae from the latin word umbra meaning "shade", and iden from the word identity

‘my identity is official’ edits requested by a few anons! for those who don’t know, all wikis involving lgbtqi+ community content, with the exception of the ezgender wiki, are being merged and having thousands of pages of content deleted from them. those who are running the new wiki have decided to only include “official terms that are recognized by people working on LGBTQIA+ issues” as pages, and have also removed tons of sources and inclusive language from pages they decided to keep (quote source).

our identities are official. our identities are real. our identities deserve respect and visibility.

image id: nine square images arranged into two rows of three each. in the center of each image is the text ‘my identity is official’ in all-caps white text outlined with a thin black line. the background of each image is a flag. in order, they are the biggeringica, blackaesic, darkgender, essembra, straight lesbian, straight lesbian redesign, straight turian/gay man, straight turian/gay man redesign, and khrollutic flags. end id.

𑄺 ESSEMBRIMIN / ESSEMBRIMASC — a masculine-in-nature essembriden gender. this gender is still inherently under the essembriden gender, but in a way that feels like human/non-essembrae masculinity. this gender may still fall under being a KEIN/ALHIN gender if the user feels so.

𑄺 ESSEMBRIFIN / ESSEMBRIFEM — a feminine-in-nature essembriden gender. this gender is still inherently under the essembriden gender, but in a way that feels like human/non-essembrae femininity. this gender may still fall under being a KEIN/ALHIN gender if the user feels so.

𑄺 ESSEMBRININ / ESSEMBRINEU — a neutral-in-nature essembriden gender. this gender is still inherently under the essembriden gender, but in a way that feels like human/non-essembrae neutrality. this gender may still fall under being a KEIN/ALHIN gender if the user feels so.

these genders are exclusive to those who are essembrae!
