tw: not anti-alterhuman stuff but like. more ignorance of it. kinda anti-alterhuman. im very sorry. its not me, given i am alterhuman myself
how do i explain therianthropy to my boyfriend? hes trying to be supportive and everything but he doesnt understand and hes not a huge fan. not in a rude way, just that hes human so naturally its not something he gets. he put in as “humans are humans” (i had to wrangle his reasoning out of him. hes not a bad person and he doesnt want to hurt me, hes just ignorant of the whole thing) i dont know how to explain it to him in a way that he’ll understand without sounding like im delusional (theres nothing wrong with that either. i AM. he just doesnt know that and im not sure i want him to know yet.) i wanna explain everything, the shifts and behaviors and instincts. he seems to think its a choice of some sort and i know he wants to understand and i want to be able to talk freely about this without having to pause to explain things or garnering (somewhat hidden) weird looks. its something important to me, as im sure other therians will understand. i just need him to understand.
