Update: Tumblr removed. Scroll below within the thread for more information regarding my efforts within the factkin community.
Factid "For Factkin. By Factkin."
We created a Tumblr to build another source of accurate information/experiences. There is a small handful of factkin achieving today due to the negative influences, impacting the legitimacy of both the factkin community and the alterhuman community, persuading otherwise. This Tumblr allows curation of submissions, relevant information, and much more. We strive to prioritize authentic representation and provide the support the community and its members deserve.
We hope that you'll join us in supporting!

Closed this tumblr due to co-establishing a new factkin terminology (diaunthro) with pleasantly unexpected help of babydog. I no longer will be primarily identifying with the factkin terminology though I am not averse to being labeled as one by others. I am simply putting my main focus on re-establishing the factkin terminology using the diaunthro term as I feel that it is more accurate and efficient in meaning and representation. Feel free to use whatever term is comfortable for you!

I just want to mention... how is the term pronounced, exactly? The 'a' and the 'u right next to each other doesn't make it clear, and makes it both clumsier to read and liable to many alternate pronunciations. If you'd like something to catch on more easily, I do suggest seeing how pronunciation and ease of typing can play a part in things becoming cemented in community language. I am not part of your community, but I do encourage you to think about this before you go further with this specific term. Aside from the two involved in the discussion, I am not sure who else has given you input.

Noted! /lh It’s supposed to be a mixuture of the pronunciation of both “authentic” and “anthro”. diaunthro.carrd.co/ is my attempt at building the term and trying it out. It is a little wonky but it’s what I’ve got until I establish something more suitable. (Plus, I like it a bit.) I’m grabbing at straws since I’m not very content and comfortable in my terminology. Really just striving for some sort of comfort.

I just would like to warn you that your card is very hard to read. Bright white with light grey text is barely legible and easily gives eye strains.
For what terms for my identity there are I am not sure but hopefully I will find out and have an unforgettable experiences along the way. Inbox always open for random stuff. Hit me up.
I wish you best of luck with this, however it goes. I can tell an old alter of mine would've been pretty happy to use it, though I can also see this going through some more evolutions over time before it really sticks.
i appreciate that diaunthro is moving away from 'kin terminology; which i've always felt wasn't incorrect, but not the whole story; and also a bit problematic considering the more modern implication of 'kin which is (unfortunately) often kff. i've always found a lot of criticism of factkin-aligned identities was the misguided conception that it, at its core, is related to kff and is just a baseless attempt at crossing boundaries for fun.
(to note: not wiping all criticism of the term and practice under the rug; there are plenty of valid concerns in regards to it, namely the comfort of the real person. just saying i think kff very negatively impacts factkin people disproportionately.)
((edit, for clarification ahead of time: i don't have a problem with kff at all! i just think it's an inherently different experience to being spiritual, psychological, etc. 'kin.))
