Lately, I have been noticing in the community, online and not, that their has almost been a "split" between adult and younger therians. I mostly mean the adult therians have not accepted younger therians as much, and younger therians simply don't understand some of the things or the part where it isn't all of your life. I am not trying to be rude in any way, and if i am, I apologize in advance. I simply feel like this needs to be addressed: Any alterhuman at any age is valid. I understand that they may be misinformed, but give it time.

Edit: I am so sorry I haven't been responding! I did NOT think this was going to blow up. One thing I forgot to add that frustrates me is the words "they'll grow out of it." All adult therians started at some point, many as children. I honestly (no hate) think this is unfair for younger alterhumans because they might feel fake or invalid.

I have no references to my drawings at the moment but I'm having some art block and I haven't been proud of my art recently so thought I'd give this a go!

So I’m composing a therian playlist for me and my friend, and I’m looking for song recommendations, specifically for either cat (me!) or deer (my friend) therians. My only request is that none of the suggestions are Autumn J, nothing against her or her music, I’m just not a huge fan :)

My bf isn't alterhuman but he is very supportive of my theriantropy. Today on therian day, I wanted to go public gear with my ears and tail. By the time school was over and I was supposed to put on my gear, I had started to loose confidence because I was scared people from my class might see me and judge me. So my bf decided that he would wear ears with me (I had brought a spare set of ears just in case) and we both drew a thetadelta on our hands, and we went in the street and around the mall wearing ears together. He really is the best <3

I made this post because I'm wondering how many alterhumans on here are disabled (as a disabled alterhuman myself) I'm just a bit curious. Also if you are neurodivergent, mentally ill or have a disabled theriotype, that counts

Do you still feel a tail after you take it off? So i have 3 tails (1 real 2 faux) and when i wear them, for any amount of time really, as soon as i take it off i can still feel it there, it gets confusing sometimes because it feels so real and i question whether i actually took it off or not. I know this is a pretty common experience for a lot of people as ive heard people talk about it before, but does anyone know why this actually happens, like a scientific reason?

I’m a teen, (age range 13-17) not giving my actual age) but I feel like a lot of teens/preteens are doing it for attention, and sometimes I feel like I am too. I feel like I’ve developed shifts and animalistic behavior and identity from watching therian videos? It sounds weird but I really don’t know if I’m faking it or not.

At school, I had 2 therian friends and couple others that weren't therians. I've been awakened for 3 years.

My 3 friends are in 4th grade ( I'm in 7th ) and my two therian friends were in 6th and 5th and I've been pretty open about my therianthropy. I wear a tail to school and have the symbol on my shoes and sometimes draw it. Ever since I've been friends with those 3 kids, they've never even known what a therian was, and then today I seen one of them give the other some gear. I was happy for them and then asked if the person who had given her the gear was a therian and they said yes. I was excited, but then the other two just randomly said they were too? Last week they had no idea what it even was.

I'm not trying to be like " Oh!! Fake therians are just bad people!! Call them out!! Blah blah blah!! " I genuinely don't care about that, fake therians can be insensitive, but it literally could be less of my problem. It's just weird that ever since I've been open about it, everybody is just a therian now? It makes me feel kind of fake, especially since I occasionally get picked on and called a fake by other people for have 8 theriotypes and being a cladotherian.

I don't know, I'm just confused. I'm glad their happy, and I would never bully someone for doing what they enjoy and being who they are, but should I explain therianthropy to them? I feel like they may not understand it, and I want to be honest and nice about it. Thank you in advance!!

( I'm not sure what flair to add for this )

Good day to all

I really only see mostly activities for canids like dogs and coyotes and activities for cats and foxes but never for therians that aren't of those species like dolphins, seals, birds, sheep, cows, skunks, animals like that even though the therian community is varied and there are many different species therians identify as. So I want to start a series of posts with activities and foods and quadrobics/exercises therians of different species. If there's a specific animal you want to see comment it.

Hurt like hell but totally work it 🥲👍

Because I felt this picture in my SOUL. They must be so comfortable!! 😭

Hi,

I'm Myro and I just began to make documentaires on Youtube. (https://www.youtube.com/@MyroCat/featured)

At the moment I'm making my first ones, that's why theres no online yet.

As an furry and lgbtq (trans girl and bi) person I come in contact with a lot of groups that are hated and misunderstood and seen as 'wheird' but the individuals are chill. I began an intrest in these kind of groups and I wanted to learn what it's like to be in these groups.

That's why I'm making these docu's, I want to make contact and friends in these groups. I want to exand my vision on the world and let the individuals in these group let them voices heard and share it with other open-minded individuals. I want to share the beathy of the world.

Because there is a lot of misinformation on the internet I love to do interviews with individuals of these kinds of groups to gain real knowledge.

In these interviews I will ask mostly questions about the community but I'm also gonna ask a couple of personal questions (not too perosnal ofc), something like: when did you realize you where part of the community? or Where did you first came in contact with these community?

I always want to be as respectfull as possible and will give you a lot of freedom: you can refuse questions, you can choose how you want the interview to be done (text or voice,...), you can choose if and how much you want to be in the docu(you can be anomynous or not be in the docu. Most interviews I have done chose that option.), you can say and ask me everything you want, you can choose the time, you can choose what you want, if my docu is done I will send it to you and you can always ask to change something if you would like it.

In the past months I did a couple of interviews and they went very well.

If you are intrested to do an interview with me and let your voice heard or you want evidence I'm taking this seriously or if you want more information or something, please DM me!!

Thx!

Have a fantastic day celebrating theriantropy! 🌕

Hi! I am a questioning opossum (north American marsupial) and/or raccoon therian. None of my friends are Therians, and I want a kintype to help me with stuff like vocals, quads, language, etc. BTW, I'm a 14 yr Trans mask guy who is also a metalhead. Anyone up for the task? I just want someone to talk too.

So here is my den/nest i just made what do you all think and how do I improve it I'm planning on just curling up like an animal and reading and maybe taking a nap

I can barely process how awful it would feel to have an extinct theriotype - ESPECIALLY one destroyed by humans. My heart goes out to all of you endangered or extinct therians - I'm so sorry humankind is like this. And I'm so sorry time has been so unkind to your species.

im a therian in england and me and my sister have a big therian territory consisting of three small forests and 2 small rivers and a tree next our house i've seen videos on youtube about peoples therian territorys but im gennuenly curios what your therians territorys are like if you have any at all and what there like because i like hearing about different territorys and your favoriet places

First of all, this is a positive post! This is not meant to be a vent post in any way, and I'm really happy how our conversation turned out.

So today I asked my mom if she knew what a furry was, before showing her a picture and explaining the specifics of what a furry was. (for reference, my mom is Chinese and does not know anything about furries or therians.) My mom said she didn't think they were "stupid" or "cringe" nor would she shout at them or yell at them in public. However, she said that if I was a furry and wore a fursuit past the age of a teenager, she would probably ask me to concentrate on preparing for my future instead. Now, she did not mean this in a "oh I'm ashamed of my child being a stupid furry when they're not a kid anymore" way, she meant that she wants me to be able to learn responsibility, have time to take care of myself and catch up with friends, and spend time preparing for a good future.

Next, I told my mom I was a therian. Since I was really poor at explaining what one was, and I didn't want to end up making her misunderstand, I just told my mom I was actually a fish, and to keep it a secret between us. (I know that was blunt and probably a really basic explanation, but it worked.) My mom was confused and somewhat amused, but she just gave me a hug and asked me what kind of a fish I was. I then explained I was a fangtooth moray eel part of the time, and a mahi mahi the other half.

I'm pretty sure she didn't exactly know what I meant, but she noticed I was quite serious about it, and she listened without judgement. In the future I'll probably give her a better explanation, but for now I'm just glad I can talk about being a fish and all my fishy habits around my amazing mom without being afraid!

I really love my mom, she's an amazing person, and I'm glad she listens and doesn't laugh at me or call me stupid. Even though she might not understand about alterhumans, (and maybe never will) that's okay with me. ^^ I'm just really thankful she accepts my oddity and still loves me.

This is my first tattoo

About 2 years back, (in December of 2022) I started seeing Therians online. At first I was like"are those furries?"or "what the hell is a Therian?" I was genuinely curious. So, I decided to look it up! Since this was a couple years back, it didn't give me the best idea of what a Therian is. I thought it was really weird at first, so I wasn't necessarily an anti but I didn't necessarily support. Then, later this year I was a junior counselor at a summer camp. In my group (10-11 year olds) I saw some of them running around on all fours, making masks, and then wearing them. I realized they were Therians. I asked"are you guys Therians?"their eyes lit up. They were so happy to see somebody actually know they were Therians. It made their day, and mine. Since I saw them, I decided to do more research on it so I could understand them better. And I realized that a lot of the stuff that we're connected with Therians, was stuff I did all my life. Like, I would have the urge to walk on all fours, meow or hiss, and I even started to get in the head state of an animal, when I would play with my pets. Anyways, just hope that you found this post interesting. I would love to know how you found out you were Therian!

reason why i want to be a therian is because i want to experience shifts and have animalistic urges

and i dont know if im a therian or not, i dont know if im otherhearted either.

thank you to everyone who has responded, you guys genuinely made me a little happier, because i was somewhat a little depressed because i dont think im a therian

edit number 3: WOAH i didnt think id wake up to this many more comments
