What Is Alterhuman / Alternative Human Personal Identity "AHPI?"

Alterhuman is both a standalone personal-use term, and an umbrella term for the wide spectrum of personal identities that are considered "alternative to the common societal idea of humanity."

Paraphrased from the term's original defining, the "common societal idea of humanity" or the "common human identity" is considered :

• When separated from societal concepts such as gender, race, etc. and personal expressions, still identifying with the body as part of the self at it's base level - feeling comfortable with the mechanical human form, it's biology, bodily function, etc.
• EX : A transgender person who still sees themselves as a human, and their body as their own (only incorrect,) generally would not be considered alterhuman, unless the gender of said trans person directly correlates to a nonhuman concept of gender.


• Identification around a singular persona which has been present since birth, and has not differentiated from the original-born persona attached to the body.
• EX : Plurality wculd fall within alterhumanity due to multiple persons/personas/facets existing in one body. A walk-in, thoughtform, soulbond, etc. could as well, as they are not the “original.”


• Identification as a human, with no supernatural basis (per user discretion.)
• EX : One who identifies as human and as their singular, born persona - but who has an identity involving past lives, supernatural abilities, etc. may be considered AHPI if they so decide their experiences dictate as such.


• Identification as a human, regardless of personal subculture.
• EX : A furry would be human if they consider themselves to be, but a furry who identifies as a furry more than anything else may be AHPI due to identification as a member of said subculture as part of one’s overall personal identity.

Examples of what could be considered an AHPI/Alterhuman identities include (but are not limited to,) as per personal discretion :

• Therian/thropes, otherkin, phytanthrope/plantkin, and fictionkin identities
• Multiple, plural, median, and walk-in identities
• Spiritual self-identities which may still include degrees of humanity such as angelics, celestials, god shards, fictional humans, vampires, etc.
• Identities involving shared self-identification with nonhuman or other alternative human entities/concepts such as animal-hearted, soulbond, and spiritual medium identities
• Identities of alternative humanity through disassociation, responses from trauma or disorder, or non-neurotypical mental status
