Alt+H is an organization dedicated to increasing awareness and acceptance of alterhuman people.

We strive to fairly represent people who identify as something other than human, or with an alternative human experience; and to help them fairly represent themselves. We want to bring to light the specific issues that alterhuman people face and begin to carve out spaces in society where they can get help with these things.

What We Do

We conduct surveys to assess attitudes towards alterhumanity and the needs of the communities. We also publish and promote quality adacdemic projects to legitimize alterhumanity in the public eye.

Research

We create and provide resources for explaining alterhuman identities, and the experiences that often accompany them. We also collate external resources on the history of alterhumanity and its related communities.

Educate

We provide spaces where alterhuman people can discuss their experiences and ideas. We also provide advice and information on how to deal with various aspects of living as alterhuman.

Community initiative: Bring alterhumanity to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is the single most consulted source of information on the internet. But have you looked at its article on otherkin? What do you think about it? Do you think it could be better? What about all the other alterhuman topics which don’t have articles at all?

We want you to help us improve the representation of alterhuman topics on Wikipedia, and therefore to the public in general.

And we’ve set up this project to do just that. By working together, we can:

educate each other on how to make factual and useful edits to Wikipedia that won’t be removed, and back each other up when edits are challenged
pool our research resources, using different people’s memory of alterhuman history and access to material to build good sources
decide as a community which articles are worth our attention, what information is relevant, and how to write in ways that represent us fairly
combat the systemic bias that’s inherent to Wikipedia’s structure

How can you help?

We wrote this guide to give you an introduction to how Wikipedia operates, different tasks you can do, and how to do them.

Once you think you understand how it all works, check out the list of articles we’re keeping an eye on and the project trello for specific things to do.

Then you can head to the #alth-projects channel in our Discord server or the project’s thread on the forum to let us know what you’ve accomplished! You can also suggest things to add to the to-do lists, get help with specific tasks, and just generally ask any questions or make any comments you might have.

You can also use the #AHWikiProject hashtag on social media to talk about this, share progress, tips, questions, and anything else!

We hope you’ll join us in making the internet’s favourite reference site a better ambassador for alterhumans!
