Alterhuman or alterbeing refers to a category of personal identity which encompasses identification that is alternative to the common societal idea of humanity.[1]

Alterhumanity includes:

  • Therian, phytanthrope, otherkin, and fictionkin identities
  • Multiple, plural, median, and walk-in identities
  • Spiritual self-identities which may or may not still include degrees of humanity, such as angelics, celestials, god-shards, reincarnated gods, vampires, etc.
  • Identities involving shared self-identification with nonhuman or other alternative human entities/concepts, such as animal-hearted, godspouse, soulbond, and spiritual medium identities
  • Identities of alternative humanity through dissociation, trauma response, or non-neurotypical mental status

Some systems and plurals, or members within those, may identify as alterhuman and identities under the umbrella, but it is not required and is self-identification.
