I have no idea if this is the right modality with which to get through to you, but it worked for me: look up schema therapy. My tests flagged with the defectiveness/shame schema, which is exactly what this post is describing - the belief that you are fundamentally broken and unfixable, and you should feel ashamed of that. If that resonates, just do an internet search. You are not alone in this, and it can get better. I won't say that it will get better, because that part is up to you. But it can.
One cool thing about cognitive behavioral therapy is that you can dip your toe in by just doing the worksheets on your own to see if a therapist might be helpful.
But yeah, missing a few essential human pieces is actually kinda no big deal, 'cuz all you need to make up for it is a few people who can accept you as you are.
I gave up on being people years ago, but since I found my persons, they've helped me blossom in ways I'd never imagined could be real. =O
Depends on what being human means to you: Human in the biological sense? Unless this was written by AI you're human. Human in the sense that you deserve human rights and dignity? Definitely human. Human in the sense that you are part of a society? Yup. Human in the sense of gender etc.? Not necessarily, unless you want to be, then yes! Human in the sense that you deserve love and care and can give love and care to others? Correct, human! And guess what, not feeling human is something many humans feel, sometimes or even all the time, so I'd say that's a human trait, too.
Take care, from a fellow non-human human
Of course you are missing parts. But you will never find the missing piece in your apartment. It’s somewhere out in the wilderness hiding behind a tree. You gave it up to get food and shelter and clean water. But now it’s all gone wrong.

One day, one day we will have the tech to safely modify you genes and you can become the catgirl of your dreams
But I want it now!
So much this.

Or a derg. Being a derg is also nice.

Not sure what's missing but I did notice some fuzzy ears in the pic

You never know. We're not done with you yet.

I think that's a common feeling for humans to have
Too rule
Better off hoping for the world to change, than to be that kind of human.
You will
