# optout's alterhuman journal

Welcome! This will, hopefully, become a place to share my personal musings on nonhumanity.

## About me

I have been identifying as an aspecies nonhuman since spring 2021. I usually explain this as being a subjective internal identity that means I'm not human, and not anything else either. You may know me as optout from elsewhere on the internet. For basic information on alterhumanity (an umbrella term that includes nonhumanity), see Alt+H:
