Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
Jumping on the species transition plans trend lol, here are some ways I plan to physically and socially transition !
• Fang Implants
- I will get these if it kills me.
• Digitigrade Leg Prosthetics
- Stupid expensive but omfg these would bring me sm euphoria, even if I could only wear them every now and then. Paws crossed they'll become cheaper and more accessible in the near future.
• Realistic Tail with Silicone Core
- Also generally pricey but significantly more accessible. I love wearing taxidermy tails but am always frustrated by how disproportionate they are to the size of my body and how they just limply hang there, having smth that looks more natural and moves with my body would be huge.
• Tattoos
- Unsure of what exactly I'd want, maybe paw/hopf prints on the backs of my hands?
• Colored Contacts
- Would need to find some that are comfortable, durable, and don't impact my vision too much (im blind enough as is), but Im very ready to go "It's the fluorescents 😒" mode.
• Reflective Contacts
- I have absolutely no idea if these are real things or not but I would actually kill a man to have contacts that reflect back when someone shines a light on them in the dark.
• Piercings
- Idk lots of piercings just give me werewolf vibes ig lol, currently planning to get a second industrial, 1-2 eyebrow piercings, and snakebites.
• Muscles
- Having more visible muscles/being strong is very animalistic to me, after all most animals in the wild have to be physically fit to survive.
• Realistic Ear Headband
- Goes along the tail, would love to wear these frequently and casually out in public. Kemonomimi gaining popularity has opened up so many possibilities to me it's epic.
• Top Surgery
- Species identity and gender identity are deeply linked for me, most things that are gender affirming are also species affirming and vice versa. Having a flat chest would feel hella animal-like.
• Come Out to Friends and Family
- This is definitely the biggest one. Unfortunately greater society isn't really ready for species transition, but some individuals definitely are. Basically just let those I trust know who I am, and that it would be wonderful if they could refer to me as nonhuman when they can :]
• Unmask Animalistic Behaviors in Public
- Be less afraid to be a little more nonhuman around others like it's the most normal thing in the world. Using my hand to bat at my ear when it itches, yip and whimper to accentuate words, practice quadrobics, etc.
• Advocacy
- Talk to people irl about nonhuman identities, be visible at events, create informative resources, even if it's scary. Most people have no idea that we exist, showing them that we're out there and here to stay paves the way for successful transition on a larger scale.
Hopefully more options will become possible soon, those of us looking to pursue species transition are kinda limited by the technology of our time, which sucks balls. Especially for someone like me who doesn't like body/facial hair or extreme body mods, I dont have too many realistic options for the time being. Oh well, just means I'll have to get creative i guess.
"you cant identify as transspecies, thats not a real thing!! you'll always be human it's not even possible to transition to another species!!"
Fucking. Watch me.
