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.

Not trans, but I do feel the fandom is one of the places where people can truly flourish. I feel too much of society wants people to conform, but with the enthusiasm and creativity the fandom harbours it's definitely one of the best places for discovering who you really are and personal experimentation.

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:
