Hello nonhuman/otherkin/therian/alterhuman/other-term friends!

I care about you a lot! i want to help you feel as good as you can about this life, and help reduce species dysphoria where i can. I see you, and i know how painful it can be.

Someone inquired about different ways yo help aleviate Species Dysphoria, so i threw some on a pastebin for reference.

In my own life I've used/plan to use body modification (broadly) to deal with the external when I feel that mismatch with the internal. Digitigrade stilts, hair coloring, ear pointing/prosthetics, tattoos, piercings, even my HRT pushing me toward androgyny -- all serve to make me more comfortable with the mismatch on both a personal/physical level and a social level, blurring others' perceptions of me as "human." It's not a full transformation by any means, but every bit helps.
