To trans furries out there, how much does being a furry relates to your gender? (pawb.social)

Did the furry fandom helps you discover your gender? Did it help you feel more welcome?

For me personally, being a furry helps me to cope with dysphoria for years before my egg cracked. I used to imagine that I'm an anthro animal all the time to cope with dysphoria before I even knew what dysphoria was.

And aside from a few trans communities (like r/egg_irl), the furry fandom also exposes myself to queer people and queer media in general, which in retrospect might help me sympathize with them more instead of hating it like what most people do.

I'm so glad that this community is very accepting towards people of all sexualities and gender. Being trans in this fandom generally feels pretty safe, at least safer than most other fandoms. Thank you so much.

I can relate. I often feel the same way about me being transspecies, but I'm more of an anthro than a feral.

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.

If you want purely transformation related stuff, there are other communities such as:
