I’m a little unclear on how the furry identity works. Is it like an LGBT+ thing where you just are this thing regardless of your feelings or desires, or does wanting to be a furry make you one? Like, I’ve fought against being trans much of my life, but now I see I pretty much always was. But I don’t know if liking the puppygirl idea makes me a furry, or if that’s something I have to have always been? (this is not a reaction to a recently popular puppygirl, I’ve meant to ask this for a while) I also may be terribly misunderstanding furries; that’s a taboo subject where I live, so I don’t know much.
it’s totally up to you. i decided at some point that I was happy IDing as one based on my doggirlness, and then later started to appreciate the art and stuff too. i still don’t have a sona or whatever just general dog vibe. it’s just a very nice, welcoming queer centric scene. there’s no hard definition or requirements as others have said.
Yeah, it’s funny once I identified as a furry, and someone asked me “ooh what’s your fursona?” I realized I didn’t really want one.
