What Makes a Furry? (hexbear.net)

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 can just be a fun thing you just really enjoy or a deeper identity, i think it really depends on who you ask in the furry community tbh. i do consider myself a furry and all i do is draw fursonas sometimes and admire fursuits cause they're really cool and fun!
