Someday we may be able revive the brain itself by connecting it to a body, in which case you would experience falling asleep and waking back up.


Or you end up with a pile of dead wolverines in the fish tank in your basement.


there’s your problem right there. wolverines don’t breath water. you gotta leave them out of the fish tank.


I'd love to wake back up in a non-human body, honestly.

That could, theoretically, be a way to appease those who suffer from species dysphoria. Not any time soon, though.

I'm not sure if there have been any studies on it yet - people are only just starting to recognize gender dysphoria as a legitimate condition. Species dysphoria probably sounds utterly insane.


I assume you're a therian?

I don't experience either gender or species dysphoria, but that seems like a way to "cure" species dysphoria, unlike gender dysphoria which is actually workable. I know a few therians and really feel for them, having such a condition and not being able to do much of anything doesn't sound like a fun existence.


I don't identify therian, but I am otherkin. You're right that this is incurable right now. There's no "species transition" like there is HRT or SRS. It's only coping mechanisms right now. Trying to find ways to be less disordered and all.

I've been trying to find my way since childhood, but it's taking a while. Hopefully I figure it out eventually. Having DID as well certainly doesn't help.

It's not a fun existence in and of itself, but I still have my fun every now and then.

Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like to talk more.
