==Labels==
There are many labels within the artificial identity umbrella.
Machinekin is an umbrella term that includes all machine-related kins, such as robotkin, androidkin, AIkin, fictionkin and cybertroniankin.
*Robotkin▼
Robotkin is a kin identity under the [[Wikipedia:Otherkin|Otherkin]] umbrella wherein one identifies as a robot and often believe themselves to be spiritually nonhuman or in a non-physical way, such as through reincarnation or psychologically. Robotkin have often been excluded from the greater otherkin community due to the belief that one cannot identify as something without a soul, classing robots as something without a soul. However, this belief has been challenged by the greater scientific community, which have disputed the existence of the soul. This idea additionally excludes fictionkin, plantkin and voidkin identities, among others.
*Nonhuman ▼
Robotgender is a gender identity where one feels their gender is heavily connected to robots and machines. While there is some slight overlap with robotkin, both have differences that set them apart. A person who identifies as robotgender does not necessarily identify as a robot and inversely, a robot does not have to identify as robotgender; though they can be both.
Nonhuman is a catchall label to describe many identities outside of typical human ones. Some robot-identified individuals may choose to just call themselves a robot, rather than the labels above. They may not spiritually believe themselves to be a robot, but believe they might become a robot in the near future.
Many plural people are also in systems which include robot headmates, but other headmates may not be robots.
