Hi, I'm Aphelion, an adult male avian that has been around the community for the past 9-10 years as of writing this. Although being a part of the nonhuman community has helped me find a safe space to surround myself with like-minded individuals, it was not the reason why or how I found out about my nonhumanity. Since I was young, I always had an intense pull to the sky, and always had an intense connection to wings/winged beings and the idea of growing wings. Despite me leaving the community as I got older, and me pushing away my calling to the sky in my teen years, it would never truly go away. In my later teen years, the calling to the sky came back to me stronger than ever, which has been my sign ever since that my nonhumanity is real and is as permanent as death and has no plans of going away any time soon, no matter how much I tried to ignore it. These days I fully embrace my nonhumanity, as hard as being nonhuman can be (for spiritual, emotional/mental and physical reasons).
I made this website in hopes of reaching out to more nonhumans to tell you all that we are still out there (since things seem quiet in modern times), and to give back to the nonhuman community with my project - "Nonhumanity: A History". There are little to no new sources, and only one other timeline of the nonhuman community that I could find is here: The Shifter's Timeline | Shapeshifter's Eden (spiritshifter.wixsite.com) . I thought taking on this project would benefit new and old members for years to come. I believe that preserving information is important, and I enjoy learning the history of things that interest me the most, so that also added to my inspiration to start "Nonhumanity: A History".
Thank you for taking the time to read about me, my project, and also getting to read it too if you do!
