I Am A Real Werewolf

Homosexual behavior in animals is sexual behavior among non-human species that is interpreted as homosexual or bisexual. This may include same-sex sexual activity, courtship, affection, pair bonding, and parenting among same-sex animal pairs. Research indicates that various forms of this are found in every major geographic region and every major animal group. The sexual behavior of non-human animals takes many different forms, even within the same species, though homosexual behavior is best known from social species. Homosexuality has been documented to naturally occur in over 450 species of animals worldwide, including, but not limited to, canines. Some sexual conduct between animals may also naturally transcend certain species, though often rare in feral environments. An example of this would be tigers and lions mating, or wolves and dogs mating. Werewolves, and other werecreatures, are no exception from homosexual conduct occurring, as it is natural.

 

While homosexuality is not a difficult concept to grasp, transgender shifters are more complicated and not often discussed, so quite a bit of detail regarding the physical aspects of transitioning as a shifter will be covered here.

 

It's important to note that werewolves are also human as much as they are wolf. Being a werecreature does not take that away from you. Humans have a very broad spectrum of gender identity and expression, but no matter what you identify as, physical shifting is still entirely scientific.

 

You cannot shift if you are not through with puberty.

 

Transgender shifters that take Hormone Replacement Therapy are thrusting their bodies back into a second round of puberty. This applies to teenagers and adults alike, even if you have already finished your first bout of puberty and have shifted before. You will not be able to shift while your body is changing, and it will stay that way until your hormones settle after years and years of HRT, when your second puberty is over. If puberty blockers are used, shifting will not be possible until they are stopped and puberty ensues and finishes.

 

After this other puberty, your body may regain the ability to shift. Shifting after this may cause other physical problems, however, depending on your surgical options/decisions for transition. No matter what you identify as, your body will be the same as it is as a human when you shift. If you are a pre-op trans man and you shift into a wolf, you will still have female genitalia. If you are a pre-op trans woman and you shift into a wolf, you will still have male genitalia.

 

When it comes down to surgical options, keep in mind that it is much easier to take away from the body than it is to artificially give to the body. If you have a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), as a cis woman or as a trans man, it will have minimal impact on shifting. If you have a mastectomy (removal of breasts), it will have minimal impact on shifting. If a trans woman or cis man were to have an orchiectomy (removal of testicles), penectomy (removal of penis), or vaginoplasty (using penile and scrotal skin to form a vagina), it will have minimal impact on shifting. A trans man who receives a metoidioplasty (clitoral release and lengthening to form a neophallus), will have minimal impact on shifting.

 

Artificially adding to the body, however, will not transfer over well when shifting. A trans woman or a cis woman who receives breast augmentation (increasing the size and shape of the breast), will have significant and severe issues when trying to shift because anything artificially implanted will stay in the body while the body is changing shape and moving to take on another form. Trans men or cis men that receive phalloplasty (construction or reconstruction of the penis), will have significant and severe issues when trying to shift because anything artificially implanted will stay in the body while the body is changing shape and moving to take on another form.

 

Scars and tattoos acquired over time will stretch while shifting ensues, though this has very minimal effect as skin stretches and retains shape very well. Metal plates and pins often used in people who have broken bones multiple times will face many risks, as the bones will not be able to change shape properly, and surrounding muscle and fat may develop deformities while shifting. Braces and piercings also hold their own risks. Simple piercings are likely to rip out, and while that doesn't hold significant complications on its own, complicated and elaborate piercings may become exceptionally inconvenient. Oral modifications, such as bonded or permanent retainers and braces, will cause damage to the jaw and teeth during development while shifting.

 

Anything at all that is artificially implanted or added to the body will stay in the body while shifting, which can cause severe risks and health issues.
