What does it mean to be "Treated like a human"?

A few days ago I was responding to comments on 196 and someone said to me that I should make my species identity more clear if I want to be treated as a human. What does that mean exactly? Maybe I'm way overthinking it, it just seems weird.

I mean for me all that really matters is that others treat me with dignity and respect. That doesn't seem like being "treated like a human" to me, that just seems like the natural way one should treat someone human or otherwise.

I apologize if I'm ignorant or if I'm just overthinking things. I'm genuinely asking out of curiosity and a desire to learn and understand better.

Yeah, if what you mean is to be treated like a person, that doesn't require being human! I think you have it right; respect isn't limited to humans.

Seconding the "insist on the distinction between human and person" comment. =^.^=
