I think I've been waiting for a post like this xD

1. I'm a vampire!

2. I realised through reading books/ watching shows with vampire characters and experiencing gender envy/wanting to "be" them.

3. I wear fangs sometimes, I would have them permanently if I could. Also make jokes about myself (e.g. can't go in sunlight, need to be invited in, "I don't bite" etc). Sometimes I also wear clothes connected to it, e.g. Buffy merch.

4. They're very very connected! My gender is vampire. I'm genderqueer, but "vampire" is a better way to describe it. Not having fangs makes me feel dysphoric, and wearing them makes me euphoric. Style wise, wearing darker/specific clothes is connected. As I said before, I have gender envy of specific vampire characters, (and named myself after one of them!) And using it/its pronouns as one of my pronoun sets is connected to being a vampire/creature too.

5. I don't know. But I'd love the world to be less ableist and transphobic. Because feeling like a vampire is connected to gender but also connected to my special interests/being autistic. I think lots of trans neurodivergent people feel connected to creatures and are shamed for that.

6. I also feel like a fairy! In a queer & androgynous way, and in a creature way. But I feel it less intensely than being a vampire. It's more of a thing that comes and goes depending on what I'm wearing or feeling, and less of an intrinsic identity.

@Vierkantor I'm a wolf!

I was a /massive/ egg, dreamed about being a wolf for /years/ but never knew it was like, a thing. When I found out that yes you can just like, be an animal... I was like HOLY SHIT THAT'S ME.

and yeah on gender! I'm male in a wolf way, not in a human way. (I'm also nonbinary because of that.)

...side of me? It's not a "side of me", it's who I am. 🐺 But unfortunately no, there isn't really anything we can do in dirtspace for that.

and for changing the world... just, in general, toss the humancentrism out the window. "Human rights"? No, I'm not human. Stuff like that.

And just the general assumption that humans are Superior and everyone else isn't people. It's. Fucking. EVERYWHERE.

@Vierkantor hi, my name is tillian. i am a furry and i want to be an anthro fox. I think I realized this quite recently, a year ago, when I tried to imagine what would happen if I was like that, and...it felt so natural and euphoric. I think I almost cried, actually. I don't know why. but I am also sad about it because I know it's never going to happen. at least not in my lifetime.

sometimes I express it in my daily life because I just like make vulpine noises and bark, squeak or gekker when I feel comfortable, lol.

kind of does interact with gender but barely. I don't care if I am a fox guy or a vixen

as for changing the world, that's a question that requires a long answer and I think it related not only to my otherkinness but me being marginalized in general.

@Vierkantor

I am Lyric, an ancient and eldritch evil that haunted the stars long before your species drew breath. I am part flesh, part machine, entirely cosmic and have far too many eyes.

People have always described me as "an alien studying humans" due to my detachment, social difficulties, observation skills and unusual thought processes. I own this identity, often acting as a chaos gremlin in small and large ways to represent the immutable forces of entropy.
