To be completely honest, I have a mild dislike for all of the nonhuman/alterhuman labels there are. I mean, plutoid and holothere might as well not exist. I use them both for simplicity's sake, but I can literally just say "I am a Balaur bondoc" and leave it at that. No labels necessary. They almost feel human, too human, for me, and in a way invalidating. It also feels like a sort of arms race, but for words, like, "who is the most animal/nonhuman" or "who is the most valid" or "who can claim the most distance from humanity". I'm not saying nobody should be able to use those labels, as like I've said I also use them (although mainly out of a need for self expression), but they just seem... counterintuitive to a degree.
