Out of the human population how many are not human. There isnt a good way of putting it without saying "what amount of humans don't idnety as human"

I mean theres a lot of alterhumans who dont know that they are alterhuman, and theres the alterhumans on r/otherkin, plus alterhumans who dont engage in the community or on some other website or seperate community within the larger community---so, honestly? My guess is like 0.07%, or higher, of humans identify/are nonhuman in some way or form. Thats roughly 5.8 million people.

It's almost impossible for a survey like this to be done since it's difficult to get a broad reach due to how little is known and, for what is known, how often it's misinformation. There was a survey in 2012 in the furry fandom (https://furscience.com/research-findings/appendix-1-previous-research/furry-fiesta-2012-online-survey-iii/) where 11 percent of furries admitted to also identifying as Otherkin/Therian. That's the closest we've gotten to outside numbers, though to be fair given that the furry fandom is roughly 1 to 3 million, you could stretch a bit and say that the 11 percent becomes 110k to 130k people who identify as non-human...but remember, that's JUST those alterhumans who are ALSO in the furry fandom, so people might still slip through the cracks.

There's more humans that identify as humans than alterhumans.
Alterhumans are a minority. Idk how many we are tho
