To my fellow transfurs: are your fursonas also transgender?

3 years ago by FlowerTree to c/transfurs

I've seen many people do this. I've seen fursonas with top surgery scars or bottoms reflecting the ones the authors have. Of course, it's nice to have our own fursonas represents who we are and to make them relatable to us.

But on the flip side, I've heard some transfurs preferring to have a cis fursona based on their preferred gender instead. They felt that their fursonas represents their perfect self, which for them would be if they were cis.

There's nothing wrong with that or making your fursona trans. Your fursona is yours to decide and it doesn't have to be tied to expectations about yourself; that's the best part about having a fursona!

But, how do you feel about it? If you are trans, do you also make your own fursona transgender?

Personally, my fursona is transgender much like I am. I usually like to put a little trans pin and write her as "trans" in her ref sheet, assuming that I'd ever take the time to draw her. While being trans isn't the biggest aspect of my fursona or an imporant detail for most of her art, it is an important part of her identity.

We're both nonbinary, but I like to think of my yeen as not having been assigned any type of gender. They're just a scraggly animal. They don't care what pronouns get used for them, or what terms really get used for them either. I've always been pretty androgynous and get called both male and female terms daily by strangers who are just trying to figure out how to politely address me lol

They probably are trans but being a spotted hyena their biology is very different from ours, so I assume maybe they wouldn't have bottom dysphoria like I do? Maybe they had top dysphoria whereas I never have? I couldn't say

Idk. I admitted I was nb waaaay before I admitted to myself I was a furry so I don't have any pre-transition/pre-egg-cracking sonas, although I suppose if I think hard I did kinda mess around with it a bit. I tried making a bear character, but I didn't like the feelings that came up with a character representing me that ID's as a different gender than what I thought I was (lol) so I felt stuck making it a girl. It didn't really suit me and probably delayed my furry-ness by several years in retrospect
