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.

The latest news from the Alt+H team:

Can you believe we’ve been doing this for three years now?

(wait, didn’t we say that last year? looks like someone miscounted!)

A lot of our work this year has been preparing for future things: the major point being that we incorporated as a non-profit organization so that we could accept donations. We battled through mountains of paper work and research, but finally…

The Alt+H Patreon is open to donations!

Or, if you’d prefer to just make a one-time donation, you can use our Donorbox link.

We’re still working on merch - we’ve identified a good merch platform and are looking to start designing some basic things like shirts and stickers. We’re hoping to be able to tackle fancier things like enamel pins with time!

We’re also getting really close to having the forum available for beta testing. So close that we can show you screenshots!

Alt+H forum previews: the main categories page and a demo thread.

Hopefully this all means we can hit the ground running with next year’s projects: we’ve got more surveys, zines, and pamphlets coming your way.

And to help with that, we’ve brought on a whole bunch of new volunteers! We were really pleasantly surprised with how many applications we got and we hope that this’ll mean we can deliver more projects in a shorter period of time.

Speaking of new volunteers, we’ll be handing responsibility of the blog over to @modernotter from now on! We’re still figuring out the format, but as well as everything else, we’re looking to return to writing articles on at least a monthly basis.

So overall, we’ve got a lot of stuff lined up for you! We hope you’re as pleased as we are with what we’ve achieved this year, and just as excited about what’s coming next.

From all of us here at Alt+H, thank you for your support!
