It was certainly interesting to hear the perspective from an older trans person, from an era where being trans is largely unknown and considered weird.
I suppose it's nice to see how times have changed now, with how many people-- but especially so furries-- are now able to express their gender and being proud and accepting of who they are, even more so for non-binary people!
In retrospect, my old fursona also had a rather interesting color. Like you, he was male before I cracked my gender. Yet, I made my fursona white and pink because I wanted him to look more feminine. I don't even know why I wanted him to be feminine, and I wouldn't know until later.
The breaking point was when I made a second fursona that was femboy, by then my egg finally cracked.
"I made him white and pink because I wanted him to look femmier" sure is one heck of a thing to look back at and wonder how on earth you managed to avoid saying "oh I'm trans!" for so long. It's a big thing to come out with though, and has a lot of hard work following it, so it's really surprisingly easy to avoid saying it until suddenly it is obvious.
We tell ourselves a lot of things without realizing it.
I thought I was being contrarian, making male fursona with feminine color because I thought having normal colors would be too mainstream.
To be fair, I made my fursona more masculine eventually... up until my egg crack when it started to turn 180°
