Has anyone here heard of it before, if so what are your opinions on it? I’m curious to hear what you have to say because I’ve mentioned it in the past and have received hostility from people either saying I’m crazy or that I’m “making fun of trans people”.
I think some people deny that I really have it but I’m certain that is what I have since I literally have phantom limb sensations from a tail that I just don’t have, including phantom pain which really sucks actually.
I just wanted to talk about this a bit. I’m not sure if this is the right community but the otherkin communities are very empty.
Species dysphoria? You mean misanthropy? Sigh…
I identify as a transgender woman of elvish descent (aka elfkin); I am as much a man as I am a human. I like oneness and harmony with nature, being friendly and kind to others, and enjoy the company of other like-minded folk. I’ve never really seen myself as a human because I don’t identify with a lot of the ideologies that humans represent, and especially the cultural norms they revolve around. A sparse few from what I’ve seen actually see past the subterfuge of humanity and have figured out their own existence.
To me, it seems that humans are very much out of touch with their environment, and the further they progress technologically, the further they become isolated from each other. The wanton desire for sex, money, power, these things do not concern me and lead to a path of self-destruction. The notion of religion and similar belief structures is also very damaging, because it sets a precedent that others must adhere to (power through control), which is not the same as moral obligation (though some of the hardcore seem to think so). I see the species as running down the clock to extinction, and I somehow feel I will witness the end of the Anthropocene in my lifetime, which summates my apprehension and misanthropy towards humans.
Ideally, I’d rather all humans left MY planet so I could live in harmony with it peacefully before they fully destroy it. Either that, or I found a portal back to my own dimension. Even an alien abduction could be very liberating, as I feel so alien already, it could be considered a rescue.
Basically, get your shit together and take it somewhere else. I’m having none of it.
