Ahuman

Ahuman refers to a form of nonhumanity where an individual does not connect to humanity and/or being human in any way. Oftentimes they're uncomfortable with being referred to as or grouped in with humans/humanity as a whole. Those who are ahuman may additionally prefer nonhuman language being used for them, with terms such as entity, being, or individual instead of person, human, and similar language. Those who are ahuman may consider themselves to be any kind of alterhuman (such as otherkin), or they may use ahuman and nothing else.

The term has been in circulation since 2021, however a flag was created for the identity was made by Tumblr user extranth. There is no official "coiner" of ahuman known, due to its loose usage within servers and blogs long before an official post was created.

The flag creator stated within his post that while there was previously a similar term (antihuman), he felt a need to endorse ahuman instead because "[antihuman has] often been mistaken as misanthropy (hating humans/humanity) ... so a term often used instead is this one."
