This. I Am Also Both Trans [under The Umbrella, Specifically Under The Nonbinary Umbrella, Lol] And Alterhuman/nonhuman

This. I am also both trans [under the umbrella, specifically under the nonbinary umbrella, lol] and alterhuman/nonhuman (I use both terms, as well as some others) and my gender and species dysphoria a lot of the time go together.

Also, my friend who is trans also sees how similar it is at times for gender and species dysphoria because I talk to him about my species (and gender but that's not the point here) dysphoria. [I hope this part makes any sense, lol].

Both my gender and species dysphoria fucking suck, I get a similar feeling from both. One [in my case] just feels a little bit worse. Cause to me, it almost feels like I'll always be seen as just a human even more than always being seen as the gender I am not. I am not a human, Idc what this body is, I am not my body. I am not my body in the way of gender as well, but I feel like more people respect that (not trying to undermine anyone's experience, hell I deal with transphobia all the time even if the people who are don't know I am trans). People seem to understand it more. It's something that makes more sense to them.

I really hope that this makes sense, lol.

I think the whole "therianthropy is a mockery of transness" lie did a LOT of damage to our community. We're afraid to draw parallels that are actually quite helpful.

"Trans" is an adjective that can 8e appended to words like woman, man, or person to add extra context. This is how I 8elieve alterhuman la8els should 8e used: "fictionkind Vriska" shares a little more context around my experience than just "Vriska", and "therian spider" shares a little more context around my experience than just "a spider." However, I don't really ever see people just saying "spider" or "Vriska," or any counterparts. You get the gist. There have 8een a lot of posts around this topic recently (most from me of course LOL) 8ut that's not it.

I also feel like this has made us afraid to discuss species dysphoria as anything 8eyond "I have this 8tw." Like, no? This isn't just a sad feeling that pops up occasionally. It is deha8ilit8ing. I am as much as a suicide risk as any trans person with gender dysphoria. This portrayal of species dysphoria has normalized invalid8ion IMO. Misgendering is never okay, 8ut... The alterhuman equivalent? It's fine! No hard feelings there. (Don't get transmedicalist a8out this, I'll 8ite you.)

I. Can't think of any more actually! So please re8log with any examples you have, I'd love to hear.

Does anyone know of the Soarin' ride from Disney. Because of my fear of heights [in this life], I was scared for a while until it got to a point where you 'soar' over water and I calmed down at that point and for the rest of the ride, lol. Just a random little rant that does have to do with this post.

things you really want to do but didn't realise until now

- fly very close to water and skim the tips of your toes/talons/wings along the surface (yes like they do in movies shut up)

- dive from a high ledge and at the very last second flare your wings, catch the wind and soar off

- fly super fast towards a tight tunnel and only just make it through by tucking your wings close to you and nyooming through like an arrow

- getting jeered at then unfurling your wings in all their glory, looking the antagonist in the eyes and grinning menacingly, causing them to go white in fear and back away

- honestly just the thing where you run down a grassy hill and gradually unfurl your wings until you start to glide

- as well as standing at a cliffs edge and spreading your wings,, that’s just cool

Heyo!! Good to see another MHA non-canon being around.

Im not great at starting conversations, so I'll share a memory of mine- there was a couch in the League hideout. It sucked, cheap and stained and falling apart, but I spent some of the best moments of my life there. Just sitting with my pack, the people i love. Watching shitty TV while braiding Himiko's hair, Tomura preening my wings and Dabi half asleep against us. Good times.

It sucks being OCkin sometimes. Like, I wanna find my friends and family, but I feel like I won't be able to.

I even just want other MHA kins to interact at all, whether we have the same canon or not, as long as whoever does interact wouldn't mind me ranting about my canon, or at least what I can remember about it, lol.

If you're a My Hero Academia kin pls interact, I am also willing to listen to people rant about their canon!
