I personally see furry as inextricably linked to queerness because Fursonas are an implicit declaration of radical autonomy over one's own identity and how other people see you.

It's impossible to separate queerness from furry as long as that's the center of it.

Furry has ever been a space where you can make yourself a rainbow-haired hermaphrodite sparklevixen and not only will everyone accept that as your identity, some people are going to be into that, and you'll find them.

Furry also introduced me to the idea of non-binary pronouns, and we all accepted them without question. That's always been why I'm so confused to see transphobic furries.

You're existing in a space where people have been using five different sets of custom pronouns for hermaphrodite characters since the 80s, and you're complaining about someone deciding they're a girl? Make it make sense.

I don't understand the anti-trans transhumanist techbros out there either.

My dudes, the entire point of transhumanism is radical bodily autonomy.

If you're hung up on what someone's original meatsack was, you're gonna have a bad time in the transhumanist future you're after.

Because there's bros and there's hos, and it's always bros before hos, and if your bros can be your hos - well, that gets confusing for straight boys. They're easily confused.
