[Worldbuilding] Would furry anthros wear clothes?
[Worldbuilding] Would furry anthros wear clothes? - Pawb.Social
Most fursonas do wear clothes. But putting aside the aesthetics factor and focusing more on the practicality-- would a furry anthro in an anthro society wear clothes? Focusing solely on mammalian anthros with fur. Well, they have fur, so temperature regulation and the elements aren’t really reasons to wear clothes given that they have natural, furry clothes already. Wearing clothes on top of that might be too warm, especially in the summer. The thing I’m wondering is, would anthros figure out to make clothings themselves? And if they do, how would they look? Having their body completely covered in fur might make shirts and pants irrelevant, which means they might never develop them in the first place. I suppose other articles of clothings like armbands, headbands, etc would still exist, and so would practical items like glasses or watches. Of course, clothing serves more purpose than just covering bare skins. They serve aesthetic purposes and shows our identity. For example, police anthros might wear some sort of stuff to distinguish themselves. And much like humans, anthros would probably have a culture around clothing, but how their clothing would look and how much it’ll cover is the question. Would most anthros only wear head and armbands? Maybe just something to cover their bottoms and nothing else? Or would they wear clothes similar to us? Furthermore, different animals have different fur with different thickness, length, shapes, forms, etc. These different furs require different clothing. Anthros with thicker fur may wear less clothing than ones with thinner fur. Even more, different anthros will have different body shape and size. Clothing for rabbit sonas may not fit bear sonas. Anthros might have different size standards for different species to account their differences. Imagine how hard it’d be to manufacture all the different variations, though. Any clothes store would have to take into account multiple species and multiple sizes for that species. Well, I think that’s interesting to think about.
[TW: sexual dimorphism] Transgender furries worldbuilding
[TW: sexual dimorphism] Transgender furries worldbuilding - Pawb.Social
[TW: Mentions of sexual dimorphism in animals. TWed just in case] Most animals are sexually dimorphic, which means male and female individuals are different from each other beyond their bottoms. But for some animals, the differences are even more starking than humans. For example, the different feather colors between male and female mallards. Male mallards have green heads while female mallards are mostly brown. [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Anas_platyrhynchos_male_female_quadrat.jpg] Other animals takes it further. Such as how all workers of a eusocial insect (ants, bees, and wasps) colonies are female and the males are just drones. There are many other examples in the wild. When we turn these animals into anthros, we tend to keep their dimorphism, at least most of the obvious ones like how anthro deers have antlers, male anthro lions have manes, etc. — Now imagine if these anthros were transgender, how would it work out? How would they transition? For example, how would transgendeers deal with their antlers? Would they wear fake antlers (for FtM deers) or cut their antlers (for MtF deers)? And what about anthro animals where the male and the female individuals have different fur/feather patterns? Would they have to paint their fur? I suppose hormone could play a part in dimorphism even for animals, so much like humans, HRT may exist for anthros. But how would they work and what’s the effect for anthros, especially for non mammals like insects, avians, and fish sonas? But aside from that. I think the biggest hurdle would be size differences. Many male animals are larger than their female counterparts, sometimes as far as being twice their size. That could be a problem even worse than height dysphoria. — Of course, all of this can be hand-waived. Just like how anthro bears and anthro rabbits are often drawn the same size despite being a bear and a rabbit, we could also make male anthros and female anthros the same general size. Besides, most animals don’t have visible tops, yet most female anthros do. But, I think this is an interesting topic to think about.

[CW: Repression, Internalized Transphobia] I need help dealing with Repression and Internalized Transphobia
[CW: Repression, Internalized Transphobia] I need help dealing with Repression and Internalized Transphobia - Pawb.Social
Hi, I’m Jasmine. This post is a bit of a vent, but I also genuinely need help and comfort. I hope this is appropriate to talk about here and that I don’t ruin the vibe of this community too much. I’m tired with myself repressing my gender. I’m tired with me telling myself maybe I can live happily as a boy, maybe I can convince myself, or maybe this is all fake somehow. I feel like I’m not meant to be a girl, that I am meant to be a boy, and that I shouldn’t transition because it’s against my cultures. And my internalized transphobia sometimes made me think like a bigot when given the chance. I’ve done my best to avoid lashing my internalized transphobia to anyone, even online, and I’ll continue to do my best. I’ll continue to do my best to support trans people, but ironically it’s hard for me to support myself. I know this all sounds so negative, but it’s been eating away at my mental health. I need help. I just wanted someone to reassure me that it’s okay for me to transition and that there is nothing wrong with being transgender. I would also greatly appreciate sites and resources for trans people to reassure me that it’s okay to be trans.

I can’t believe that after weeks of dysphoria and me trying to repress who I am, this is the one thing that broke me into gender euphoria. Strange how that happens.
To my fellow transfurs: are your fursonas also transgender?
To my fellow transfurs: are your fursonas also transgender? - Pawb.Social
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.
