Personally I call it the veil or glamour, but I like visage/aspect as well!

Little off topic but glamour has special significance to me since it describes the magic of the fae. Fairies are often described as “wearing” a glamour to hide their true form. For me this means I am charmed to look like a human being even though I am not one.

Offering a term to fellow physical nonhumans* for more natural sounding language/ease of explanation:

The/a visage OR aspect.

What you might see or others see of you even if it isn't actually what's really there.

These are preexisting words that are practically synonymous - visage is defined as being synonymous to aspect which literally means the "appearance to the eye or mind."

So I can say I am physically nonhuman, but my aspect or visage is human - humans see me as a fellow human because they simply are not calibrated to perceive otherwise. My aspect/visage isn't actually me.

*I guess you could use this as a non-physical nonhuman but if you acknowledge your physical humanity I'm not sure where it would fit? Oh well, I don't gatekeep the English language, LOL.

The appearance outwardly of my physical body is an illusion. I wish the fur, wings, fangs and whatnot could actually be seen. It's there, but the illusion, the veil, the glamour..

Made a meme about my experience with autism, and it seemed to resonate with people on Reddit so... here ya go.

I wish I could accurately draw what I look like under my veil- the true me. I don't have the creative ability to do so and it makes me sad.

A note on terms: I do not use the terms therian or otherkin. I may technically fit into these categories, but I do not like these labels (nothing against people who do use them though). I am a physically nonhuman shapeshifting changeling fae creature, and I am a holothere.

I may occasionally use other tags, but these are the only nonhuman labels I feel really suit me.

i am a:

○ male

○ female

◉ sad autistic enby

looking for a:

○ boyfriend/husband

○ girlfriend/wife

◉ for someone who won't judge me for being autistic and will accept the fact that i get hyperfixated onto certain things, putting all my time and energy into it, and so i would want to share it with them- without fearing they'll judge me or make fun of me.
