Why is it so hard to remember. So distant so often.

@Oneironott Because most people don't have systems or language or technology to understand what "nonhuman" means or requires, and so it never comes up. Human isn't an _identity_ in the larger world; it's just an assumed default. And so once you realize you aren't, you have to fight to keep remembering that, and to keep making it real, because few who aren't will consciously do it for you.
