I'm a little unclear on how the furry identity works. Is it like an LGBT+ thing where you just are this thing regardless of your feelings or desires, or does wanting to be a furry make you one? Like, I've fought against being trans much of my life, but now I see I pretty much always was. But I don't know if liking the puppygirl idea makes me a furry, or if that's something I have to have always been? (this is not a reaction to a recently popular puppygirl, I've meant to ask this for a while) I also may be terribly misunderstanding furries; that's a taboo subject where I live, so I don't know much.
A Buddhist monk once told me all that is required to "be a Buddhist" is just to decide one day to be Buddhist. There's no ritual or prayer or demonstration; there's no exam to make sure you're "Buddhist enough".
It's the same way with furry and lgbtq+. If you think you are, you are. Welcome.
The one hexbear user Buddhist queer furry reading this is pretty/handsome/cute (pick a complement)
I'll take all three ☺️
