My Gender is [NOT] Human Zine is now available for download!
Xenogender: A gender that cannot be contained by human understandings of gender; more concerned with crafting other methods of gender categorization and hierarchy such as those relating to animals, plants, or other creatures/things.
This zine is a collection of artwork, writing and more created by alterhumans and nonhumans to express both their species identity, gender, and how they intersect. While this zine has an xenogender slant, everyone who had something to share about how their species and gender overlap were encouraged to submit pieces!
Speaking of which: Thank you to everyone who submitted works! It means a lot to us that others think our project is valuable and are willing to use their time and ability to be a part of it! The community is so talented and varied, we hope this zine serves as a comfort for anyone who feels alone in their alterhuman and gender identities.
We created this zine to be an accessible pdf. Every entry is bookmarked for easy browsing, every image contribution is accompanied by alt text and we’ve done our best to battle against Adobe Acrobat's reading order to make sure it was logical! We’re also rather proud of figuring out how to make the content warnings also be links - so skipping ahead is only a click away.

I think there's a difference, generally but not always, between general alterhuman (and all such labels) joy/euphoria and species specifc joy/euphoria. I think sometimes there's an overlap and all kinds are valid and important.
A general alterhuman joy activity (here I am using alterhuman to mean all identities where one is not human in some way) might not match up with your species. It might include gear that doesn't match, doing quads even though your species wouldn't move like that, howling and barking even if your species doesn't, going into woods or parks even if that's not your habitat etc. All of this is just to feel more animal, or monster, or Other in general. It creates joy in this way.
More specific and 'accurate' activities will match your species and can be very dedicated and niche. Some general advice may apply, but you might have very specific things too. The idea is to feel more like yourself, to forge that denied connection and feel a bit more 'right'. Thus there is euphoria.
The overlap ofc comes with things that aren't necessarily to do with being more like your species in an accurate way but make you feel connected to it specifically (wearing a shirt with your species picture on it, engaging in fiction from your source, buying things that remind you of your species, posting about being your species, moodboards + similar etc).
I think it's important to distinguish between these two types of community joy because we can so easily get wrapped up in the 'illogical' things we might do to feel better and it's so quickly twisted to invalidate us. It's not illogical or inaccurate, it's just a more generalised euphoria! And also, critically, the generalised joy is something everyone of every identity can share more than others including -link and -hearted identities.

fictionkin culture is playing a fun game of "do i REALLY like this guy or AM i this guy" and also considering the secret third option of "do i really like this guy because im another guy in the source who maybe was friends/was dating or what"
Fictionkin culture is!

I'm a therian and know it but I don't connect with the term Therian anymore.
I use caninekin but I feel like I need a different term.I am a therian but I just don't connect with the term/word Therian like I use to.
Is there a term for this or?
