    PD, I don't know if you remember me, but a long time ago you told me to research my theriotype, and that I might be a white Tundra Wolf, and I looked it up, and it turns out you were right. I am also a red Fox. Which I researched the second one too. Turns out I am more than one animal.

    I've watched your videos for quite some time now, not many years after I began my journey in therianthrophy. I've been apart of the community for awhile and enjoy seeing us adapt new terminology to better fit every individual's experience, while still allowing everyone to only use what they feel properly describes themselves. I feel that it all fits under the "alternative experience of common humanity" with some terms relating to more of an expressive part of one's self, and some relating to the raw identity of not being human. amazing video as always :) Keep up the great work in our beautiful community.

    Another thing that I would like to know: Is there an umbrella term for kintypes and theriotypes? I mean you could say "types", but that doesn't sound very precise...

    • @PDTherian
      @PDTherian  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There isn’t. In the past, “phenotypes” was used as umbrella term,and that still is deemed correct by many. Kintypes could be used as umbrella term, although it links directly to otherkin. Types or ‘types would be your best fit at this moment. I don’t feel like it has to be more precise than that personally however.

    • @minomerle9906
      @minomerle9906 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@PDTherian Well a more general term for both would be nice for people like me who have both existing and non-existing Types. Guess "Type" or "kintype" would be in my personal prefferencethen, because "phenotype" is a term I connect to biology where a phenotype is the physical apperance based on the genes, and I mean, that's EXACTLY, what these types are LEAST, right?!

    I dunno if this has anything to do with therianthropy but sometimes everytime im sad or something or just... Thinking i would always think about how i would be a dog, most likely a Rottweiler puppy/alley kitten or a wild animal and the rest of the people in the room i was in are different animals based on their looks and personalities, so kinda like me imagining "everyone" is an animal in some way which makes me so happy to think about:3

  • @morningcupofcyanide
    @morningcupofcyanide 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Trying to get answers and directions is like trying to pull teeth, so I'm asking this in as many places as possible. I can't make any kind of progress if I can't interpret what I'm feeling or say for sure if it is alterhuman or not. I need help, because I was only just informed of these terms yesterday despite having been looking for months.
    So, I keep seeing people say [otherheart/kithtype/synpath] is described like they are family or friends with the thing, but that isn't exactly what I feel, though I still do identify with it and have a strong connection to it. Rather, I feel like I in some way completely share a conciousness with a being who exists in an entirely different universe with a complete different life. We both view ourselves as eachother and share all of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, and lived experiences. Me, this part of the conciousness, however, is fully human, though I am deeply connected to the other part of my conciousness. They are not my family or friend, rather another me that I share a conciousness with. I do wish I could be united with them and take on their features, however I don't feel any dysphoria or phantom limbs or any of that (from my understanding, this is called shifing and I don't do it). It still does feel good to refer to myself as an elf and a dragon (and more specifically a MoonLighter) sometimes, for others to refer to me as such, and to wear things such as pointed ears and horns just casually. In a similar manner, the other me or other manifestation of my conciousness feels deeply connected to being human and identifies *with* humans despite not identifying *as* a human or being a human, as I identify *with* what they are rather than *as* what they are. If the multiverse is not real, then my conciousness has manifested another me in my mind that lives a completely different life, and this me is not me, despite me actually being human and identifying as such. I have always said it was like I was living 2 lives at once. I get to see through this other me's eyes through dreams, particularly lucid dreams, and share their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and memories through daydreams. This is a pretty big part of my life and I feel it is significant to my identity. Would this fall under otherhearted/kithtype/synpath? I do not feel otherkin fits me as I, or at least this manifestation of me, am human and do not identify AS nonhuman and I will continue to live this life as human. I hope this makes sense. Maybe I just sound completely nuts, but I do believe in the multiverse with a grain of salt. So, upon some research based on a previous answer, it seems like some strange mix of otherhearted and soulbonding. It's like the opposite of plurality, where one conciousness exists in 2 separate entities. Median is close, but I feel we more exist in the sort of greater me, which exists between universes. Vey does not exist here, though our minds are inherently linked. I am a piece of a greater whole, and I am never not this piece of me. It definitely seems to fit under some kind of alterhuman, though. I am only just now aware of this greater umbrella term. Upon a little more digging, it also somewhat similar to xenreve, though still not a complete perfect fit. I am an immersive daydreamer, which is a big way I connect with the other me, but I'm not 100% my daydreaming was the ultimate and only cause of this phenomenon, although it did definitely contribute. As of now, I am calling this phenomenon human-other shared soul until further notice. It should also be noted I almost feel this me being MoonLighter-hearted, elf-hearted, and dragon-hearted as well as the other me being human-hearted and potentially also cat-hearted, particularly when I was a child but maybe to a lesser extent now, are also under consideration and I view as somewhat of a side-effect of having a shared soul.

    I've not been In the comunity for a number of years and this is the first time I've heard Alterhuman being used. I don't really understand why we need an umbrella term that includes more than needed. I'm otherkin and that fits fine as a definition by me. I also don't understand why DID/OSDD is under the new umbrella term. You do get non human alters but DID/OSDD is a disorder and shouldn't be confused with theranthropy or its associates which I don't think are disorders.

    • @PDTherian
      @PDTherian  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you very much for sharing your opinion! You make valuable arguments. If I may highlight the reason people decided to include DID/OSDD under Alterhuman. It is because people decided that alterhuman wouldn’t just be an umbrella term for therians and otherkin. It would be an umbrella term for anything identity or experience wise that is deemed “not standard human”. Such as tulpemancers, otherkin, soulbonders, vampires, … these people decided that people with DID/OSDD can be included as a lot of them feel like they are not fully (standard) human or because they do not fully identify as (standard) human.
      I do not explain this to mean as a counter argument, as I too still feel uneasy with DID being included as I feel it takes away the seriousness of the mental disorder.
      Again, thanks for sharing!

      Chosing a theriotype usually isn’t seen as otherkin or therian. In the case of you choosing for anything rather than existentially being, you fall within the term “copinglink” or “otherlink”. Linkers are a category of alterhuman, with close connections to otherkin, who Chose their linktype. Copinglinkers do so for coping reasons. Otherlinkers might have another reason for chosing to identify as something. So the most correct term would be link or linktype, not kintype.

      Not any different than a graph showing the overlay between eummm red cars and lighning McQueen (film CARS) .
      Or between highschool and middleschool or litterally anything
      So the only reason you make this remark is because the graph is very disorganized and hectic. Because it was someones fast sketch most likely and not thought out.
      Or because you misunderstood me as “this is a graph of our experiences” while i’m talking about the possible experiences and subgroups under a bigger umbrella of alterhumanity.

      It is a graphic showing you're mentally ill. You are not an animal. You are not another species.
