figuring out gender identity as a furry

i've been part of the furry community for a while, and it's such a welcoming place. recently, i've been on this journey of figuring out my gender identity. anyone else feel like being part of the furry fandom helps explore this? sometimes, i feel more like my fursona than my day-to-day self, and it's got me thinking about how i express my gender. my fursona doesn't have the same constraints as my human self, and it feels freeing. have you found that your fursona or the furry community helps you understand your gender better? would love to hear your stories or tips on how you've navigated this journey. it's all so personal, but sharing might help others too! 🐾✨
