I dunno, like people think furries are weird, but do they like, lose jobs, family, and stuff over it? I'm not super glued into furry discourse, just not my thing, so its an honest question

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Uh they might if they started doing anything about it at work, or speaking about it ever? I guess most furries tend not to ever talk about it. To me it just feels like "on all levels except physical I am a wolf" is a further reach than going on /lgbt/ or something? The framing equivocating being a furry and being trans is probably wrong fwiw.

I'm not superglued either so I'm mostly just talking shit basil-anxious-smile

Most of them are LGBT, so some probably already experienced those problems even without being furries. Like, idk if I know any allocishet furries. Also, many keep quiet about that kind of thing at work. I think some also keep the furry stuff secret from family but presumably are out about being gay.

Yeah I get that but its not a furry thing at that point specifically

I also don't tell my family I post on hexbear? Its like having a hobby right

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I tell my family I post on the fediverse just like I mention most of my hobbies. Work, I wouldn't mention posting on here, but I would mention other hobbies.

But also, being a furry seems like its much more a part of their identity than like a casual hobby and would probably be more akin to transitioning. Adopting a new name, look, etc, including when meeting up with other furry friends (I've never been to a furcon, so only judging based on what I've heard from others). Some still use their birthname for those kinds of things, but for others their birthname might as well be a deadname in the context where they're comfortable being themselves.

Granted, many do hop from one fursona to another at some point or another, but gender fluid people exist too and many trans people go adopt new identities (like NB-> woman or woman->agender, etc).

There's a couple furry streamers I know who seem to be eggs and basically use being a furry as a way to express themselves (one seems to have internalized transphobia issues and the other seems to be agender and may just not realize that's an option or may think "trans" implies having a gender).
