Definitions and Usage
Aldernic is an umbrella term for individuals who have or want a body that differs from what they have now, what is expected in society, or typical human standards.

Aldernic may refer to fictional characters with a type of body unlike humans, but it can also refer to people who want bodies that do not fit the norm of any existing body or that are impossible to achieve by human standards.

Generally, aldernic is a term used to describe people who don't feel like they belong in a "male" or "female" body and instead prefer an ambiguous, nonhuman, or other nontraditional body. It may refer to someone's "true" body, whether because of alterhumanity, gender nonconformity, xenic identity, or anything else. It can also refer to someone's physical body, internal identity, or both. Aldernic is not connected to being intersex. Aldernic was coined as an alternative to altersex/alteradic.
