Hello everyone, welcome to transfurs!
This is a community for transgender furries where we can come together and discuss more about the intersectionality between being transgender and furry. Of course, other queer furries and allies are welcome to join as long as things stay on topic.
Keep in mind that this community isn't about transformation related stuff (as in human turning into furries and the like), but we welcome transformation related contents if they are relevant to this community's purpose.
If you want purely transformation related stuff, there are other communities such as:
- !transformation for transformation related contents.
- !transformation_sfw for SFW transformation contents.
- !tf_irl for transformation related memes.

It seems like most people here are in the "furry first trans later" boat, so I wanted to share the opposite perspective. I'm FTM
My parents knew I was gonna be queer since I was little. I always liked girls and my gender ideology hadn't caught up yet when I pursued my first crush in 5th grade. It was only then when I was faced with being a lesbian that I thought about and was like "hmm no I'm just a guy" and I totally nailed it lmao
I wasn't really exposed to the furry fandom until 2 years later- 7th grade. It was following a massive trauma in my life and really helped ground me. It also opened the door for a lot of grooming through the fandom unfortunately. I definitely think it has a much larger impact on my understanding of my sexuality than my gender, though the freedom of choice that's presented through the fandom's acceptance is worth more than gold
I only ever had guy sonas and they helped me embrace being weird coded for sure. I'm autistic and I don't think I was really able to deal with it emotionally, so I had my character's deal with it instead and lived through that
The most influential figure in my transness is a trans teacher who took me under his wing early on and really saved my life. He's not a furry but was very supportive of all my weird furry art and my first shitty tiger fursuit. We're still friends
