i relate to therians /otherkin so much and align with many experiences. I don’t think I can, nor will I ever be, an animal, sadly. unlike gender, dna is not a social construct and I’ll never be able to change mine. I can’t identify as a non-human thing since I am, biologically, human. I don’t experience the struggles of physical animals, either. To me it’d be like identifying as another race.

I call myself therian because otherwise I align with the experiences entirely, and don’t know of any other labels that fit, and I don’t wanna explain myself every time.

There have also been times where I genuinely do believe I am an animal and I can transform or somehow I’m mixed up but they are usually during SEVRE distress and most have been when I was taking a medication that was altering my perception of reality - I think I might of have been in psychosis one of the main times, but I’m not diagnosed.

But when I think I’m not human I’m always in an illogical state and believe other illogical, not real things - I completely respect any physical nonhumans / holotheres, it’s just that I am aware afterwards it’s not the case for me and I really hate when I get reality all mixed up like that so I try and stay away from it.

I also feel like I’m missing being an animal, like how people describe past lives, but I hate anything not based in logic and I cannot understand how past lives are possible. (Again, I respect anyone who believes they were another being in a past life. It’s just not for me.) I believe it is due to trauma, as I’m longing for what I didn’t have as a child, and my escape was in animals.

If I could become any of my ‘types, I would in a heartbeat. And as much as I hate it, that’s not possible, nor will it ever be.

GenderNH is an umbrella term for a gender which is impacted by being nonhuman in some way. This includes but is not limited to otherkin, copinglinkers, nonhumans in systems, delusional misidentification, vampires, and any alterhuman.

Being GenderNH is not inherently transgender or non-binary, though genderNH individuals may be. The term can include cis nonhumans who feel like their gender is still impacted by a nonhuman identity.
