Transspecies

Transspecies is a term used to broadly encompass a range of subcultures, individuals, and behaviors that deviate from traditional perceptions of species distinctions among living beings, often in alterhuman communities. Unlike the concept of sexual relations between different species, transspecies focuses on the idea that individuals can self-identify as another species or align themselves with specific attributes of different species. This identification is often supported within corresponding communities that share similar perspectives.

In short, Transspecies folk identify as a different species then their current one. They often transition, or want to transition, into their species. Transspecies is not related to zoophilia or beastiality in any way.

This term is similar to Transgender, where one identifies as a different gender than their birth gender. They often transition, or want to transition, into their gender.
