I joke. But I get you

clear fulcrum
#

They are all up in arms because in their mind they assume someone has a penis/vagina and feel the need to use a certain word towards them. It's just...dumb and childish.

#

Ohh, I thought you were meaning the people being misgendered. Because I get that it can be hurtful towards them, especially with how people act about it.

sleek dome
#

Nono I was mocking people who refuse to use preferred pronouns

clear fulcrum
#

I got you now haha

sleek dome
#

All cool

#

I had an interesting chat with my partner about genitalia and sexuality. All that jazz

#

We’re a t4t couple. I’m transmasc and they’re transfemme

clear fulcrum
#

That's honestly really sweet. You both are wanting to be the opposite of what you were born so you're basically a perfect match haha.

sleek dome
#

I had a moment of questioning myself because I love them and all but I felt bad because maybe I just liked them for their genitals

#

And it turned into a whole chat about how my loving them and my liking penises where not connected at all. Like all that doesn’t matter

clear fulcrum
#

I was going to say something but then I remembered this is a server that has some furries and not a furry server so I'm like "No, wait, this isn't the place" lmfao

#

I got "lucky" I guess in regards to sexuality and gender where I'm a gay dude and I just don't give a fuck lmao

vestal sparrow
#

furries are tight

#

this is like a de facto queer autistic furry server

#

LOL

clear fulcrum
#

I've been in some that are literally that and...it's a much different vibe lmao

vestal sparrow
#

i'm sure

clear fulcrum
#

Though not necessarily the autistic part, but most furries at least act on the spectrum so lmao

vestal sparrow
#

just saying these are very common things here

sleek dome
#

I’m in a furry server but the last autistic one I was in was full of babies

#

I’m 30 so I’m too old for everyone

vestal sparrow
#

I've been in a number of autistic servers as well as a queer autistic server and tbf I had some issues. they ended up being very drama-prone and there wasn't a lot bringing people together other than the shared difficulties of having that identity

vestal sparrow
clear fulcrum
#

That's basically most furry servers haha

clear fulcrum
vestal sparrow
#

what I like about this server is it has a big ND and queer presence but it's focused on a shared interest

#

so it's not just venting all the time

clear fulcrum
#

Yeah, and with it being somewhat specific it's not surprising that it draws in the hyperfocused aspies and autists haha

vestal sparrow
#

yup

#

I have never met an autistic person who didn't love at least one kind of animal, as well

clear fulcrum
#

When I talked to my therapist about a lot of stuff yesterday near the end I asked her thoughts on it. Like if she thought I could be on to something or if the ASD thing was just way off base. And she's thinking it's a plausible explanation. But there are symptoms that are shared with other things, so I want to talk about that a bit more next time to see what can be ruled out.

#

Apparently a full psych eval is now near $3000 so...fuck all of that lol.

vestal sparrow
#

you pay all that much money and then get discriminated against for it

clear fulcrum
#

There's no benefit to a pscyh eval for me. I don't need disability or drugs lol.

vestal sparrow
#

really only worth if you NEED accommodations or disability pay

#

yeah

sleek dome
#

Listen I’d love to hang out with more my age queers

vestal sparrow
#

and i couldn't find any

#

ahem...

clear fulcrum
#

Any situtation I could find myself in where I might need a little bit of accommodation they would be just fine with me saying "I have ASD" I don't need to prove it.

#

YOU DID A SWEAR

#

Oh fuck you

vestal sparrow
#

sorry dyno

#

let me rephrase

clear fulcrum
#

lmao

vestal sparrow
#

i looked for queer 18+ servers but couldn't find any that were mostly social. rather than existing for the dissemination of explicit materials

#

how's that, dyno?

sleek dome
#

I’m in one 30+ server that’s like a handful of chill people popping in once in a while

vestal sparrow
#

that sounds nice! I do think older servers tend to be less active because less terminally online

#

kids will say that any server where the chat stops moving for 10 minutes is 'dead'

#

lmao

sleek dome
#

Yeah. To be expected

#

I’m in a horror specific server that is “dead” in general all the time and people don’t check other channels

#

So they leave before they meet us

vestal sparrow
#

aw

#

horror is one of my favorite genres

sleek dome
#

I can DM a link if you want

vestal sparrow
#

i'm in as many servers as i can handle atm, ty though!

#

what are your favorite horror movies?

clear fulcrum
#

I'm only in this one and a math one haha

sleek dome
#

Ooo gotta think about that 🤔

sleek dome
#

Top 5 no specific order
-Alien
-Terrifier
-Nightmare on Elm Street
-Saw
-The Conjuring

Wdym? As gender currently stands it’s more of a world that you kind of orbit but may not actually have anything to do with. Like there are fully feminine men who are men and fully masculine woman who are women.
And if you don’t feel as if you fit into one of the two main orbits then your gender is essentially just a vibe. It’s really not a useful concept, it tells you very little about someone.

#

All things being equal, frog gender is just as valid as man, same with any other gender identity (even the helicopter)

vestal sparrow
#

alien is a mega classic

#

one of my top 5 movies of any genre prolly

daring bluff
#

Maybe it has something to do with me being pan where gender and genitals doesn’t even matters half as much someone’s personality

sleek dome
#

Im not sure what I was really thinking there but I agree with your train of thought

#

I’m pan too heart_pan

daring bluff
#

I’ve never understood the people who try so hard to stay ‘within the lines’ of their sexually. You’ll see it mostly with straight people and mostly with men. Like you’ll see it a lot where people ask “is liking [thing] gay”, it was femboys, it was trans women, it’s been several things but the main idea is that in order to remain straight it has to be not gay. Like stfu, like what you like

daring bluff
sleek dome
#

I imagine toxic masculinity has quite the part to play with all that

#

Like I remember some men in my family referred to as “metrosexual” because they actually cared about their appearance and were straight

vestal sparrow
#

i know a guy who can't say anything positive about another guy without adding "no homo"

#

🙄

sleek dome
#

Lame

#

All the homo actually

vestal sparrow
#

i say yes to homo

sleek dome
#

The homoeroticism is for spice

clear fulcrum
#

I will say without evidence and stand by this that people like that are insecure about their own sexuality.

#

They had gay thoughts, and they don't like it.

vestal sparrow
#

i agree. he also talks about how he doesn't have sex with women anymore because he got bored of it

#

lmao

#

cmon dyno

#

it's the queer chat

#

diq

sleek dome
#

It def does happen

#

If I knew that boys could be trans too, I’d have put words to that years ago

#

Ayyy

I'm back

sleek dome
#

Ayyy

clear fulcrum
#

I got muted for talking about penises in a fowl manner

vestal sparrow
#

out of jail

#

i do agree that he wants some diq

#

like i think people can overstate the "homophobes are closet gays" thing, but if somebody's obsessed with showing that they aren't gay

#

they're probably hiding something

clear fulcrum
#

I put in a suggestion to get rid of it lol

vestal sparrow
#

down with the robot overlord

sleek dome
#

Unfortunately they may not be hiding just for “uncoolness”

vestal sparrow

yes he lives in russia

#

that's why i give him leeway and try to have sympathy for his situation

Poor dude

In unrelated news I’m watching my partner play Alien: Isolation now

vestal sparrow
#

oh my gooood that game

#

i didn't finish but i played like 30 hours of it, some of it in VR

it's so stressful but a really good adaptation

My partner did it on hardest difficulty on their first playthrough for ultimate xenomorph authenticity

I beat it on regular difficulty but it’s so hard

'youre my best friend- no homo'

sleek dome
#

I fully admitted to crushes on both of my besties at different points

stoic laurel
# daring bluff Wdym? As gender currently stands it’s more of a world that you kind of orbit but...

I agree with the notion but I think I have a very different take all together, pronouns are best as short hand descriptors but I think it should be disconnected from the idea of physicality but more so perception, if someone uses female pronouns to describe me I feel pretty if they use male ones I feel masculine, what I want is to be able to freely use them disconnected from physical unchangeable bs and instead how you understand and interact with them

daring bluff
#

Me and my friends: I love you so much, you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Without you I am incomplete
Other people: you’re probably my best friend… no homo tho…

vestal sparrow
#

i usually ended up with feelings for my male friends but didn't admit it to myself until many years later

sleek dome
#

My two old besties and I have totally considered the group queerplatonic living situations several times

#

ive had crushes on several of my friends male and female, not some of my oldest friends though because in my head theyre practically siblings

#

Anyways the neo pronouns I use sometimes are things like exclusive we and differential pronouns between like they singular and they plural.

#

I Think we need more pronouns in English

sleek dome
#

I think I’ve referred to myself as we on multiple occasions

daring bluff
#

As you should

sleek dome
#

Sometimes I notice and wonder if that’s odd

daring bluff
#

No

#

It’s cool

I don’t mind being odd. That’s just me

Me neither

#

I have septo-optic dysplasia so there are missing bits in there

stoic laurel
#

I prefer to stay ambiguous in gender when speaking

#

I use we a lot

stoic laurel
#

But that's also tied into the partial DID I was talking about earlier

vestal sparrow
sleek dome
#

But sometimes I do feel like a “we”

#

But in like a gender or lack of gender way

stoic laurel
#

Yeah I get that too

#

I always tend to stand between opinions and avoid polarity

vestal sparrow
#

Since each of us was several, there was already quite a crowd. Here we have made use of everything that came within range, what was closest as well as farthest away. We have assigned clever pseudonyms to prevent recognition. Why have we kept our own names? Out of habit, purely out of habit. To make ourselves unrecognizable in turn. To render imperceptible, not ourselves, but what makes us act, feel and think. Also because it’s nice to talk like everybody else, to say the sun rises, when everybody knows it’s only a manner of speaking. To reach, not the point where one no longer says I, but the point where it is no longer of any importance whether one says I. We are no longer ourselves. Each will know his own. We have been aided, inspired, multiplied.”

#

this reminded me of this Deleuze and Guattari quote

stoic laurel
#

I find it quite frustrating that I HAVE a gender

sleek dome
#

I know. I think that’s what drew me to learning about dimorphic evolution. Like why is this important?

#

And learning about animals changing sexes or with 3+ sexes helped me learn about my relationship with gender

stoic laurel
#

Yeah it is a fascinating thing

sleek dome
#

I’m a big fan of sci-fi speculative zoology

#

And I guess my gender being wibbly wobbly with masc inclination might say something too 🤷

i had to do so much work in therapy un-repressing my gayness. and now that I accept it I feel so much better.

but it's also like... woah having feelings is hard. 😓

clear fulcrum
#

I was lucky enough to not give a fuck and started doing gay shit when I was like, 15 haha

#

I also way fucked up in plenty of other ways so doing gay shit was just like "Aight then, this is tight" haha

(this is random, just #CeriThoughts moment and I chose to influence everyone with it)

Me when I see human/very humanoid characters in any media that everyone else is crazy over: meh, another humanoid
Me when I see a dragon, demon, werewolf or similar monster: 👀 oh no hes hot (but imagine that as asexually yet sometimes alloromantically as possible)

I need a word for being like a furry/scalie but for monsters and dragons instead, and no cutesy or cartoony, just an abominable creature.
Claws, scales, teeth, horns, fangs, tusks, spines, ridges, tails, wings, limbs, EYES.... I feel the deepest of kinships

dunno why I only get attracted to the monster bois (or girls or genderless or nonbinary) but hey

sleek dome
#

I mean the vulgar term for that is ||monster fucker|| but I don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for

#

I’m ace-spec too but I’m not bothered by sexual terms

full iris

i use the term "monster hugger" for myself

i just love them all around, not just in that specific sense. i would happily hug a monster

also I'm ace so I just don't love sexual words for me

I have nothing in common with 99% of furries lmao

#

You should dig a little deeper though. There are plenty with straight up feral dragon 'sonas.

sleek dome
#

True. I’ve seen plenty of feral dragon sonas so far

#

I usually use my hyena sona for online stuff since thats more popular than bird sonas (from what I’ve seen)

#

if you don't consider yourself a furry Ceri, then you aren't one

my main sona is a silly cartoony deer skully monster and most of my characters look weird or silly. very few have that default blue dog look. nothing wrong with that look, just not for me either

#

I was a snow leopard for like, 16 years haha. It started to make less sense over time. Then as I started actually learning more about wildlife I began embracing my inner skunk haha. Until last year when I officially made the switch. Just makes so much more sense to me in terms of personality and sociability.

Plus, look at these adorable little stinkers ❤️

Only the last 2 are pictures I took haha

i represent myself with these fellers primarily

I roginally represented myself as a calico cat but that has evolved over time too. I tend to gravitate towards odd or less liked animals

They don’t specifically have a sona but if they did, it would look like our tuxedo cat

Using pi is stupid though.

there's an episode that HEAVILY implies that Big Mac is a trans woman

Which episode was that? I don’t remember

full iris
#

i have no idea what it's called but basically there was a sister competition and Apple Bloom was in it, but Apple Jack had to be out of town. Big Mac dressed up as "Cousin Orchard Blossom" so Apple Bloom could still participate, but he screws up all the challenges and they both learn a lesson

sleek dome

🤔 well then

modern linden

The running joke of the episode is “what if I boy was in a girls body”

Its not very nice

i didn't at all see it that way and nor did my transfem friend

I hyper-fixated on it for a while but not at special interest level. That was reserved for Mass Effect at that time

Inner banter is a great way to simmer down ideas and concepts as well as to double check logical statements, just gotta be careful though because if you're not in a good headspace you can have emotionally driven depressive spirals arrive and you never think to reach out of that box you've built

Agreed. I kinda got that after a few days with no power 😂

stoic laurel
#

Which intuitively makes sense ig

#

The people that think differently.... think differently!?

#

But I do find it interesting still like typically in dyslexic or autistic people there's a fundamental disconnect on the approach to the world in relation to everyone else and so I wonder how much of it is from that different way of thinking

#

I myself am bestowed with both funky tools to some extent and have just never fundamentally understood what it is straight typical individuals are chasing

#

I just don't idolize a pretty person or sex as a goal or the idea of fulfilling a social expectation of family and marriage and what not it just never clicked with me

#

This also kinda extrapolates further into furries I think too

#

The idea of rejecting your physical shows something of a disconnect in the way most people think

#

And if you're already rejecting your physical in favor of a more abstract representation then why not want different physical form elsehow or look for something more abstract in someone else

daring bluff
# stoic laurel And if you're already rejecting your physical in favor of a more abstract repres...

I don’t know if that’s right actually. I think it’s more of a sociological explanation than a biological/neurological one. I think most furries are queer because being a furry is seen as odd or outside of the norm, and so is being queer. So once you’re already outside of the norm (being queer) you’re exposing yourself to all kinds of other things that are outside of the norm as well, and that forces you to have a more open mind. Pair this with the fact that so many people already identify with an animal, so it only makes sense that if you’re super attached to this animal and you happen across furries as a queer individual with an open mind, some clicks happen and then all of a sudden you’re a queer furry.

stoic laurel
#

Yes but I think there is an underlying difference in thought to get to the first step

#

But it is very much so a social one for sure

#

It's very easy to snowball into other unconventional takes once you have self isolated with one

daring bluff
#

I think that’s also why you’ll see so many queer socialists and such as well.

#

Although the left as a whole is generally open to more diversity because of egalitarianism but whatever

#

Also not trying to get into politics, it was just another big example I thought of

stoic laurel
#

Yeah I've seen examples of such in a sense for sure

clear fulcrum
#

I do hate that we can't talk about political things from an objective point of view here. Just as like, part of a conversation.

#

But furries are all over the place when it comes to how one identifies with the fandom.

stoic laurel
#

People link political stance to their sense of self

#

Same with religion

It's understandably hard to talk about it without linking it to themselves emotionally since it shaped their lives

I’ve never been in a locker room situation

I am uniquely positioned to realize how meaningless gendering bathrooms is

For single stall anyways

I'm sure it would be a bit more awkward in one with more stalls but so long as you're just there to do your business and leave a veil of confidence should be more than enough

Still visually being armed discourages tomfoolery directed at you

I used to carry a pocket knife. Sometimes I still do if I’m ever alone

#

It’s less the queerness I’m concerned about. More that I’m under 5 foot and a person of color

that's super fair and valid and a good idea

i carry pepper spray with me all the time because I am afab and queer

i may have accidentally joined the lesbian club at my school

#

i thought it was a general queer club but no I just can't read

Oops

#

The gsa at my high school was just queer kids sitting around hoping for dates

I don’t remember the college one

There’s an lgbt club at my school too but the leader of it saw me at a pride parade and specifically asked me to join so now I can’t bc I’d melt from anxiety and embarrassment.

Just curious but did anybody else get recommended tons of LGBTQ+ content on social media before even starting to figure out your identity?

#

My feed was so much gay stuff even back when I thought I was cis/het lol

lyric shell
#

My recommended content is a wild mess, but yes. In fact it made me realise I wasn’t cis, and helped me outta my little metaphorical box.

I imagine that’s pretty common these days, but I knew about me before internet

#

i was feeling particularly bad about being trans. like that I'd never achieve anything or amount to anything. then I learned that Gooseworx, creator of The Amazing Digital Circus, which has a fandom and over 50 million views within 2 weeks and one episode

#

i should add that Gooseworx is a trans woman

#

i hope she knows she's an inspiration to all creatives and queer people

Shes right as well, I'm very not straight or cisgender

Could someone explain neopronouns to me? Im not sure I get it and I want to understand

full iris
#

they are just pronouns like he, she, or they, but different words. neopronouns have been used for a long time, I want to say since Shakespeare wrote

#

common neopronouns include xe/xim, ey/em, and I've seen hen growing some but I don't know how that one works in different tenses

#

some people feel more comfortable using neopronouns than traditional pronouns, or they just use them for fun because they want to. I will use ey/em in some online spaces even though he/him are my pronouns

#

I hope that made sense. myself and others are happy to answer any questions we can
