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:

To my fellow trans furries: Did you have fursonas that matched your preferred gender before you found out you were trans? (pawb.social)

I (FtM) only had chick sonas until I actually realized I'd rather be a dude. Anyone else, or did you all have fursonas not of your born sex?

I (MtF) also on a similar boat, only having male sonas until I actually realize I'd rather be a girl. Having assigned-gender fursona did help with dysphoria, though, as he helped me project myself into a character that's my distinctly not me.

I wasn't myself, I was my male fursona. That sort of dissociation helped me cope with dysphoria up until I realized myself as transgender. So, yeah, I had a fursona that was my birth sex before I discovered myself.

Funnily enough, when I designed my first fursona, I made his color white and pink because I wanted to subtly rebel gender roles at the time. I didn't think of it much aside from messing with gender roles, but looking back, that could've been a sign.
