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.

My very first fursona was a male skunk who did cosplay. I didn't think much about it, I was creating a character for an online chat program. My egg had not fully cracked at the time, and I didn't use that fursona much (didn't really have time to use the chat program in the end).
My next (current) fursona keeps alternating between female and genderfluid. I am still having problems getting her presentation right, and a lot of people I know see it as a male character when I am not using shape padding. I think once I can start presenting how I want to in mundane life, people will start seeing my fursona the way I want her to be perceived. It does not help that my head is not overly feminine, it is more toony nuetral, which is percieved as male by default. The best I may get for it is androgenous.
If you want to force a more feminine look on a neutral fursuit head, maybe try large eyelashes and/or maybe a pink hair clip? I'm the opposite way, looking feminine when I want to present as more masc, so my tactics won't work for you lol.
