Furry Nation v.4

goodness, this seems pretty dead haha. I would love to make some fur friends on here! <3 if any of you guys are active, maybe we can revive the thread? I know there's a pretty active fursuit thread, but I don't really think it's meant for just regular conversations...?

Hello! I'm relatively new to the fandom, so I can't fully fill out the form since my fursona and FA and such are still a WIP. I hope it's okay to post here regardless; let me know if I need to do anything else.

I just wanted to pop in and ask: to any fellow trans/nonbinary furries, do you feel that your gender identity is part of why you're a furry? I think that's the case for me, and I've been told it's common but haven't actually met someone who feels the same.

Of course there's other reasons for me as well (simply loving animals~) but I feel like having a fursona and a suit in particular could also help relieve my dysphoria. After all:
- character I can customize however I want - pride flag colors anyone?
- suit hides face (even for a mini partial) and body shape (well, that would work best with a 3/4 or full, but maybe someday..)
- being anonymous (at least relatively) helps me be more confident with regards to stating my pronouns
- anthro animals don't need to have any inherently "gendered" traits, so hopefully strangers would treat me more neutrally when in costume
- furry community overall is much more diverse and accepting than the general population, so I don't have to be afraid if/when I go to a furmeet or convention, not to mention online communities like this thread!

So... anyone else?

Hello!
I can say personally, my involvement in the Furry fandom has nothing at all with me being trans. The closest thing I could relate to that is.. my fursona is a cis-male. Suiting has never helped my own dysphoria personally, and since I am someone who likes to be able to talk while suiting, most people automatically know that I’m afab just by my voice. Sometimes I find that it actually makes it worse because it makes me hate my voice more than I do on most days.
But! I’ve never heard that that’s a common thing, so perhaps that’s why I don’t relate to the experience. It’s nice to know that it can help a lot of people, especially since, of course, it’s such a crippling thing.
Welcome to the community

I'm not trans, but I am pretty self conscious about my appearance. I also have crippling social anxiety, always worrying what people are thinking about me. I don't have a fursuit (yet), but I can imagine feeling more confident in one because no one can see what you really look like. You pretty much have complete control of your appearance when commissioning a suit, and if you want your suit to be more androgynous, you can get something like that! I hope this was helpful somehow... ^^

I'm agender, and while I know bring trans didn't cause me to be a furry (I've been a furry for longer than I knew my gender) it certainly helped me figure out my gender via genders of fursona I relate to most! Also definitely the face-covered costume thing
