casting a wide net here because i am seriously so lost and the internet is not helping. i tried going to sublime's website and all i got was a lot of pretty words signifying nothing i can actually understand.

seriously this is confusing.

what the devil is transpecies?

An attempt to align biology and the concept of the soul. Or misalign in this case.

Assuming that the soul is something that indeed exists, many believe the body is merely a physical, biological container for that soul. Those that claim transpecies, as far as I can tell, believe their soul is not human, but mutant. Yet the container their soul is in happens to be human.

The idea is rubbish. Being a mutant is a biological matter, not a spiritual one.

Some people look for any way to make themselves feel special.

Or persecuted.

That is one of Professor Xavier's goals for this school and the X-Men.

I am not so sure envy is the appropriate word here. I do not think such an outreach group will make things better as I suspect a lot of this 'transpecies' stuff stems from persecutory complexes.

But if you wish to try, there is no reason to stop you. I will even wish you luck.

Perhaps you should take it as a sign.

One of the reasons I am not attempting to stop you.
