I don’t know if I should’ve put that TW in the title or not but I just wanted to be safe.

So, I’m a red fox cambitherian. For anyone who doesn’t know what a cambitherian, it’s basically someone who feels like a therian one day, but not as much the next. Because I’m a cambitherian, I feel like I’m faking being a therian due to the fact that I don’t always feel like one. I also don’t get any shifts or at least any noticeable ones which just makes me feel even more fake. I know that not all alterhumans get shifts but it would be so much more confirming if I did. I also don’t identify as a fox openly. My partner knows that I’m a cambi but they’re the only one. I just don’t feel like I’m in a safe enough environment to. All my friends would probably leave me and my family would try to “fix” me. People need to understand that it’s not my fault. If I could be a straight, cis, completely human being I would. I also get pretty bad species dysmorphia. I hate not having a tail. I hate being able to fake being a person so flawlessly. I hate being human. All of this combined just makes being a cambitherian miserable sometimes.

This was sort of just to vent but if anyone had any advice that would be great too. Thanks for listening to my little rant.
