and it turns out a lot of furries DON'T like to be animals, they just... pretend to be animals but "oh that's a character not really me" and they still consider themselves human...?

Do you not consider yourself to be human?

Nope! I'm a wolf! :3

I'm trans, but for species instead of gender. Yeah that's a thing. 🐺

Don’t you think this kind of trivializes what transgender people go through? Saying you can be trans for species sounds like some sort of mockery of transgenderism

I used to think that, but then I realized human brains are kind of a mess so if weird things happen it's fine as long as nobody's hurting themselves or someone else

If that's what they feel good for them, validity isn't a pie and more for a weird niche group isn't less for the rest

And if they're trolling you're failing responding to trolls 101
