Do you feel not human, or would you like to be not human, in some way? I am curious about your story!

  • What kind of being are you or so you want to be?

  • How did you realize this is what you are/want?

  • Can you express this side of you in daily life?

  • Do you feel this interacts with your gender?

  • How would you change the world to make it more suitable for yourself?

  • Anything else you would like to tell me?

    @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 also, of course, physical transition would be nice :<

    transgender people are lucky. Species? There's nothing for that, and probably will never be anything for that.

    @Vierkantor even if it's hard to access gender transition stuff it's at least physically POSSIBLE, science-wise

    @IceWolf @Vierkantor I'm optimistic about synthetic bodies becoming a thing in a couple decades from now, *IF* humanity manages to not completely destroy its scientific capabilities until then. Unfortunately, that seems like a massive if.

    @LunaDragofelis @Vierkantor yeah that'd be cool!...IF it's "scoop out your brain and plop it in robot body's chest or whatever", /not/ "upload you to a computer", because that'd be a copy of me, not actual me (and what would happen to the rest of us? with scooping our brain out, we'll be safe).

    Unfortunately, with scifi trends...

    @IceWolf @Vierkantor I do believe that the mind/soul is an entity that can be meaningfully transferred between physical vessels, and that it continues to exist even if the body dies.

    @LunaDragofelis @Vierkantor meh. That might work for you, not for us.

    @LunaDragofelis @Vierkantor Even if you /can/ be transferred, that doesn't mean you can't /also/ be copied, and considering brain uploading doesn't inherently affect the original person/people...
