Meanings

1. A nonhuman or fictionkin-like identity willingly adopted by an individual, distinguished from otherkin and fictionkin by being a voluntary identity, instead of a labeled but involuntary experience.
   • There’s no way to objectively know if a particular alterhuman individual is actually an otherkin, otherkith, or otherlink. As with matters of gender identity, they have to be taken at their word—sometimes quite literally: it might be a word you've never heard before. 2023, Phil Illy, “Autosexuality Beyond Gender”, in Autoheterosexual: Attracted to Being the Other Sex, Houndstooth Press, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 447:
