Animal Quills
The Gist of It
Animal Quills is a creative community for animal-people to share and discuss their written works. Over a hundred essays are archived here (many of which in locked entries). We focus on the concrete "here and now" experience of being animal inside, and other related musings (see our About page if you want to post).

Date: 2009-01-19 04:12 pm (UTC)I like what you've said and how you've said it. And though I do experience physical dysphoria quite often, I agree with you on the importance of the human body to our paradigms and selves.
To take away that which makes me human is no less tragic than to take away that which makes me other-than-human. And thus being in a human body does not make my non-human animality any less significant, and yet having that animality similarly does not make my humanity and human body any less significant.
Very, -very- well-said. This was a pleasure to read.
