Me: *is myself*

Being alterhuman can be having dysphoria and little signs all throughout your life, crazy experiences with memories and flashbacks and full body shifts, never once feeling like a human and only feeling like your kintype(s)

And being alterhuman can also mean discovering a Creachur one day and going 'Oh, yeah, that's me' and then going on with life

And it can be a spectrum between that

　　Phantom Wings (Kin) Flag;　

A flag for those who experience phantom wings, wingkin (people who are kin with creatures/characters with wings) or not. Though it is intended to be for those who are kin, hence the elven star.

If there is already a flag for this, consider this an alternative flag.

What’s your most bizarre/weird/woah-what-the-heck experience that’s in some way related to alterhumanity?

I have a few. I'm sure a few will agree with me on petrichor, the smell of spring. Everything I correlate to petrichor gives me a certain euphoria--thin rain, the very start of spring, my moss stump, the mourning doves that nested outside of my room, my early years of awakening, a simpler time. And so many more memories I couldn't try fit into words.

Another is water. Water? Water!

The lake water of my grandmas house, giggling when encouraged to really swim instead of doggypaddling; replying "it's on instinct!" Without knowing what I meant yet; the chlorine pool at the barbecue, the drying water on my dog's fur that everyone insisted stinked--while I found a comfort in. The particularly yucky tap water of a vacation home.

I hate the smell of garlic and it always ends up with some deer shift; at one point I started doing it intentionally.

A really specific one of my mothers natural perfumes, and on that same note, any herbal scent. Self explanatory.

Aloe and at a lesser extent watermelon !

In other platforms, I see otherlinks constantly being shat on, nonhuman traits that aren't just vocals being considered a bad thing, physical therians being erased or any discussion regarding them becoming a forest fire , and the only alterhuman content around just ends up being quads and masks with a dash of 'remember, therians know they're physically human and many/most therians only partially identify as an animal, not fully'

Tumblr?? I see people making long text posts about how everything is valid! Physical therians run wild! People are proud to bite, scare people, and be fully nonhuman! You see the terms transspecies , holothere ,nonhuman thrown around without much argument against it!! There are multigenic nonhuman collectives all over the place!! You can post about whatever the heck you want, you can be fully nonhuman, your alterhumanity can be a kink, your alterhumanity can be related to pet regression, your alterhumanity can be whatever the heck you want!! You're a creature!!

Off the top of my head, the only other one I know of is plurality but I'll admit that I have mixed feelings on it being included in the definition
