<p>Who-is-Page: Updated the history to include LT&#039;s resignation and DustWolf passing TG to Bagera.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox website<br /> |title=The Therian Guide<br /> |image=[[File:Therianguidelogosmall.png|200px|link=http://www.therian-guide.com]]<br /> |author=[[Bagera]]<br /> |url=http://www.therian-guide.com<br /> |status=Active<br /> |began=May 23, 2010<br /> |genre=kintype-specific<br /> }}<br /> {{b|The Therian Guide}} is a website for [[therians]], containing information on [[therianthropy]]. It contains a general introduction to therianthropy, articles about discovering that one is a therian and discovering one's [[theriotype]], articles on [[shift]]ing, FAQs, and a forum. The website was originally created by Euipoi.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The site was created on May 23, 2010, with the original forum being rebooted on May 15th, 2014.<br /> <br /> Upon its reopening, the administrators were BlackWolf and [[DustWolf]], although later BlackWolf left the community and DustWolf stepped down to be Tech Support, and [[LycanTheory]] and Calico were assigned as administrators.<br /> <br /> On January 30th, 2016, Euipoi gave ownership of the site to DustWolf&lt;ref&gt;https://forums.therian-guide.com/Thread-TG-members-Please-Read&lt;/ref&gt;, who later shared ownership of the site with LycanTheory. LycanTheory announced on his Twitter that he was resigning as co-owner of the Therian Guide forum on June 6th, 2022 due to disagreements with the other staff members on the topic of therianthropes who experience zoophilia and engage in bestiality.&lt;ref&gt;Lycantheory (@ShepperNoodle), &quot;I can no longer in good faith recommend Therian Guide as a safe place for zoo therians - It's been compromised by staff who would rather pander to anti-zoo clout...&quot; Twitter, June 6, 2022, 4:40 a.m., https://twitter.com/ShepperNoodle/status/1533670230295302145 ([https://archive.ph/jhWO7 archive link])&lt;/ref&gt; DustWolf remained the owner of the forum until September 16th, 2025, upon which the ownership was passed to Bagera.&lt;ref&gt;Bagera, post to &quot;Passing on the torch,&quot; Therian Guide, September 16, 2025, https://forums.therian-guide.com/Thread-Passing-on-the-torch&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Guide ==<br /> The Therian Guide ([http://www.therian-guide.com www.therian-guide.com]) is a website resource, with information regarding therianthropy, the basic concepts and frequently asked questions. The website was originally authored entirely by Euipoi, but has since seen revisions and corrections by the Therian Guide community, to bring it more in line with the common understanding of therianthropy.<br /> <br /> The community staff have also looked to outside sources for criticism and additional information of the Guide.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.reddit.com/r/otherkin/comments/4wsu62/therian_guide/]https://www.reddit.com/r/otherkin/comments/4wsu62/therian_guide/&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Community ==<br /> The Therian-Guide community ([https://forums.therian-guide.com forums.therian-guide.com]) is a forum platform with a live chat feature. It features a lively community of over a thousand different members. The community maintains a friendly, family-like atmosphere&lt;ref&gt;http://therian.gotop100.com/comments.php?member=174&lt;/ref&gt;. To protect the privacy of the community members, a somewhat long-winded registration and introduction scheme is used, not every new user is granted access, but anyone seriously interested in therianthropy is more than welcome.<br /> <br /> The forums do not allow children under the age of 13 to join. Members from 13 to 16 years old are given the same kind of access as older members, however they are visually marked to set them apart from the older members. This is a mechanism used to minimize drama.<br /> <br /> The forums feature a positive reward system, that offers perks to active community contributors. Helpful long-term contributors are awarded stats to set them apart visually. The most helpful contributors have access to physical merchandise they can get free of charge&lt;ref&gt;https://forums.therian-guide.com/Thread-Now-shipping-TG-t-shirts-blankets-and-hoodies&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Kintype-Specific Boards]]<br /> [[Category:Message Boards]]<br /> [[Category:Therian Boards]]<br /> [[Category:Community resource]]<br /> [[Category:Active Chats]]<br /> [[Category:Chats]]<br /> [[Category:Discord Chats]]</div>

<p>Who-is-Page: Creation of the Alterhuman page. Still needs a lot of expansion.</p> <hr /> <div>'''Alterhuman''' or '''alter-human''' individuals are people who have experiences or an identity which they perceive as being alternative to or outside common societal ideas of humanity. Originally termed Alternative Humanity Personal Identity (AHPI)&lt;ref name=&quot;Malchior&quot;&gt;{{Website<br /> | first = Malchior<br /> | year = 2014<br /> | title = This will probably be my last post on semantics...<br /> | publisher = Tumblr.com<br /> | url = https://phasmovore.tumblr.com/post/98482696958/this-will-probably-be-my-last-post-on-semantics<br /> | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20180326012554/http://phasmovore.tumblr.com/post/98482696958/this-will-probably-be-my-last-post-on-semantics<br /> | date = January 14, 2022}} &lt;/ref&gt;, alterhuman functions as an umbrella term which covers a broad spectrum of other terms and groups; it most often includes [[otherkin]], [[therian]], fictionkin, plural systems, otherhearted individuals, and otherlinkers, but it may also be used to refer to transhumanists, trans-species individuals, furries, daemians, and vampires among others.&lt;ref name=&quot;vagabondsun2019&quot;&gt;{{Website<br /> | first = Mordecai <br /> | year = 2019<br /> | title = Here are some ways you can be alterhuman and...<br /> | publisher = Tumblr.com <br /> | url = https://vagabond-sun.tumblr.com/post/186964768875/here-are-some-ways-you-can-be-alterhuman-and<br /> | archiveurl = <br /> | date = January 14, 2022}} &lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name = &quot;AltHFAQ&quot;&gt;{{Website<br /> | first = Alterhuman Advocacy Project<br /> | year = 2019<br /> | title = Alt+H &gt; Educate &gt; FAQ<br /> | publisher = alt-h.net<br /> | url = https://www.alt-h.net/educate/faq.php<br /> | archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20200419101550/https://www.alt-h.net/educate/faq.php<br /> | date = January 14, 2022}} &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Origins ==<br /> Indexed web registries points that the term was coined by Malchior on September 26, 2014 &lt;ref name=&quot;Malchior&quot;&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; on a Tumblr post.<br /> <br /> == Alterhuman organizations ==<br /> Due to the large scope and opt-in nature of alterhuman, many public organizations which label themselves as alterhuman include a wide range of different identities in their focus. Some furry organizations have also chosen to incorporate certain furry-adjacent alterhuman individuals, such as therians and otherkin, within their own research as well. <br /> <br /> ====Freedom of Form Foundation====<br /> <br /> The Freedom of Form Foundation (FFF) is a nonprofit corporation founded in 2018.

The forum was created with ideals of cross-community dialogue and [[Wikipedia:barn raising|barn raising]] in mind, to help better create an inclusive and resourceful community culture. This is reflected in how the forum is divided, as its boards are separated by subject matter and broader experiences rather than identity or community label. Nonhuman National Park takes a custodial approach to moderation, inspired by the moderation style of the [[Werelist]] forum, and is rated PG-13. <br /> <br /> == Criticism ==<br /> <br /> Due to its PG-13 rating, Nonhuman National Park has explicitly banned the discussion of bestiality and has restricted all discussion of paraphilias, including zoophilia, to restricted-access 18+ sections of the forum. The forum has also stated that individuals which advocate for the legalization of bestiality or &quot;zoosexual rights,&quot; or who have engaged in bestiality, are not welcome on the forum.&lt;ref&gt;{{website|first=Who-is-Page|title=Nonhuman National Park’s Stance on Bestiality and “Zoosexuals&quot;|url=https://nonhumannationalpark.boards.net/thread/163/nonhuman-national-stance-bestiality-zoosexuals|publisher=nonhumannationalpark.boards.net|archiveurl=https://archive.ph/iVBEU}}&lt;/ref&gt; While largely supported by users of the forum, leadership of [[The Therian Guide]] has publicly criticized this stance, calling it &quot;hate-mongering and disinformation&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{website|first=LycanTheory|title=&quot;Perfect!

<p>Who-is-Page: /* Controversy */</p> <hr /> <div>===== Controversy =====<br /> Is this the best label for this section, since the source of the criticism is itself a highly controversial one? I'm worried that implying there is widespread controversy surrounding this site is giving The Therian Guide's fringe position undue weight. Though I do think their position on the subject is valuable to document. Would &quot;criticism&quot; be a more neutral section heading? Or something else entirely? ---- [[User:Jarandhel|Jarandhel]] ([[User_talk:Jarandhel|talk]]) 08:01, 7 January 2022 (EST)<br /> <br /> : I used the &quot;Controversy&quot; label just because it'd seemed to be the most consistently used label across the wiki for what I was talking about-- &quot;criticism&quot; seems like a fairly neutral replacement term, if it'd be preferred. Though I suppose it's well worth pointing out that technically Therian Guide isn't the only forum to take issue with this policy, their moderation team is just the only one who has said so outright and publicly; I also know that administration on the Werelist and I believe Otherkin Phenomena has issue with the policy as well. It's in a bit of a strange place where several notable established/older members of the community seem to take issue with it, which I think is worth including, but also that a majority of its userbase and the active otherkin and alterhuman communities don't consider it controversial. If not criticism, maybe critique? Maybe &quot;Outside Commentary&quot;? ---- [[User:Who-is-Page|Who-is-Page]] ([[User talk:Who-is-Page|talk]]) 12:42, 8 January 2022 (EST)</div>

The forum was created with ideals of cross-community dialogue and [[Wikipedia:barn raising|barn raising]] in mind, to help better create an inclusive and resourceful community culture. This is reflected in how the forum is divided, as its boards are separated by subject matter and broader experiences rather than identity or community label. Nonhuman National Park takes a custodial approach to moderation, inspired by the moderation style of the [[Werelist]] forum, and is rated PG-13. <br /> <br /> == Controversy ==<br /> <br /> Due to its PG-13 rating, Nonhuman National Park has explicitly banned the discussion of bestiality and has restricted all discussion of paraphilias, including zoophilia, to restricted-access 18+ sections of the forum. The forum has also stated that individuals which advocate for the legalization of bestiality or &quot;zoosexual rights,&quot; or who have engaged in bestiality, are not welcome on the forum.&lt;ref&gt;{{website|first=Who-is-Page|title=Nonhuman National Park’s Stance on Bestiality and “Zoosexuals&quot;|url=https://nonhumannationalpark.boards.net/thread/163/nonhuman-national-stance-bestiality-zoosexuals|publisher=nonhumannationalpark.boards.net|archiveurl=https://archive.ph/iVBEU}}&lt;/ref&gt; While largely supported by users of the forum, leadership of [[The Therian Guide]] has publicly criticized this stance, calling it &quot;hate-mongering and disinformation&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{website|first=LycanTheory|title=&quot;Perfect!
