Otherkin Wiki - Welcome to Otherkin Wiki! This site is about otherkin, a subculture of people who consider themselves something other than human. It contains information about the culture, experiences and history of our communities and the people in them. It also covers a diversity of other related alterhuman communities. Here, we strive for these two things: reliable research based on quality sources, and respect for the variety and subjectivity of otherkin and alterhuman experiences.

The Alterhuman Dictionary - As with any subculture, the alterhuman / alterbeing community has its own language and slang for referring to the things that are common within said subculture. This website aims to be an accessible and comprehensive dictionary resource for the community. As is standard for dictionaries, this is in alphabetical order, and this dictionary does not claim to be the original source for anything listed. You can use the Alt and F keys to search for a particular word.

The Alterhuman Archive - The Alterhuman Archive is an ever-expanding collection of nonhuman and alterhuman-related information, writings, and creations, meant to function as a community resource and memory bank.

A Deeper Look Into Cladotherianthropy - Cladotherianthropy is not a topic that is often discussed nor is it a term often seen used by many within of the community outside of glossaries and FAQs. This is because it is not a commonplace phenomenon among therians; less common than polytherianthropy. In fact, members of the community are honestly more likely to see the term in glossaries than see it actually used in discussions on personal therianthropy. Because it is a little used term, the topic of cladotherianthropy is rarely brought-up outside of a short and simple definition. Due to this, outside of the general definition, little much is discussed about the label. This article will attempt to delve into the term beyond a short definition and explore where cladotherianthropy came from and the ramifications for using taxonomy for the framework for a sense of personal animality.

Archive Post of Transspecies being used before 2020 - We keep mentioning how transspecies as a term has existed long before the radqueer & transID communities formed, and started claiming it as part of those communities despite it's actual usage within nonhuman/fictional/unusual human species identifying spaces and objections from said spaces, , , As a sort of quick thing to back this up, here are some examples before the year of 2020 (estimated beginnings of the radqueer/transID community)! , , , All of this excludes troll posting/mockery, and is focused on NH/FICT community's discussions. Some additional content warnings are provided for some of the e-mails, however, , ,

Therian: Dispelling the Earthen Animal Myth - For many individuals in the nonhuman community today, terminology is learned by word-of-mouth from individuals that have resided in the community for longer, and then pass on that knowledge to further newcomers. Such is the way for many communities, but as a method of information transfer, it can contribute to the loss and future lack of information, , , Such is the case of our beloved word “Therian”. Today, I am going to be talking about the evolution of the word from its earliest predecessor, “Phenotype”, to its current meaning of “identifying as an earthen animal”, and how it obtained this incredibly narrow and exclusitory meaning. My goal and hope is to bring solace and open a new avenue to those who had previously identified with the term, but were told or had assumed that they do not fit the definition.

I want that more than anything else from this project.
