Robotkin here - albeit it's not nearly as strong as my other kintypes, but I relate to the dysphoria on not having a mechanical body. I am also terrible at math haha but not every robot is programmed to do math, and if they aren't, well... that's what calculators are for :p
When I first read the quote it translates as being open minded and exploring other lives with curiosity and kindness, not immediately placing judgement or fear onto someone that is outside of your universe. What you see on the surface is just that - the surface. What needs to be heard is within each of us, and that cannot be found by simply looking at someone. Our online profiles allow others to see below the surface, for example. Nice drawing!
Not as much what I eat, since that's primarily influenced by my autism, but in the way of which I eat. I drag my food into a corner of the room, somewhere dark, mainly on the floor. And when I do eat, it's very fast and in small chunks.
The nonhuman experience is enhanced exponentially when I am around other people that deeply care for me. In college I would have intense phantom shifts around a dear friend of mine who I felt very, very safe with. She even commented about my animal-like behaviors (in a sweet way) and I will never forget it! Sadly she lives across the country and I'm unable to visit her, but we talk when we're able to.
It's a dream of mine to join an alterhuman meetup or travel to meet someone who is also alterhuman. aahhh
See, it's funny because my first memory I ever had in this body is eerily similar to a chestburster (blackness, then tearing apart the layer of blackness to reveal blinding white, "bursting out of the womb"), so perhaps I was always a Xenomorph in a too-small human body. But I have no past memories of actually being a Xenomorph :p
It's so cool to read about the history of the community and see what repeats / what evolves overtime! Would you say there is a large population of alterhumans / otherkin in the Netherlands?
Mostly due to numerous medical issues growing up, and feeling like my body simply wasn't designed to be human. I was often overwhelmed by sensory issues as a whole and had trouble communicating with others. I'd say my alterhumanity is coupled with my neurodivergency / late-diagnosed autism.
Oh I absolutely get that lethargic feeling in the sun. If I'm too hot I easily get overstimulated which leads to me shutting down (becoming nonverbal and extreamly antisocial)

Welcome! I have always been in awe of aquatic animals, orcas are incredible

Ooo brilliant! Acidic is a great way to describe their scent
I am very unfamiliar with cologne so any information is helpful, thank you :)
Part of it is my natural introvert behaviors and discomfort in opening up publically about my alterhumanity. But, I'll do my best lol
Hmm... an interesting theory! Something to think about for sure

Yes! There are so many layers to Xenomorphs, it's really incredible... I hope to meet more online

The last part is very true. Even after getting diagnosed I still have a whole list of symptoms I need to figure out. I am my own living experiment
Lovely names! And yes, I have my wonderful, pain-in-the-ass cat Lucy. She is my everything

Welcome! Nice to meet you. What are your rabbit's names?
