Extranthrope
An extranthrope (often shortened to extranth) is a nonhuman member of a plural system.[1] The term was coined for system members who do not feel like the word otherkin describes their experiences. It has been compared to how the word fictive differs from fictionkin.[1]
Experiences
Extranthropy is the experience of nonhumanity "rooted in being a headmate".[2] This is often because an extranthrope's inner-world body is nonhuman, and they experience completely living as and being seen as that species in headspace.[2] Extranthropes do not need to awaken to or discover their nonhumanity because it has always been their primary and immediate self-experience.[2][3] They can have kintypes and theriotypes in addition to their inner-world nonhumanity, which may be a further reason for them to distinguish the two experiences.[4]
