This reads to me a lot like "I don't care what they do in their bedroom, but why do they have to be that way in public?"

    And now the pivot from furries to trans people. I am utterly shocked that this would be the case.

    Oh, indeed. I'm sure you have a tight five about identifying as a helicopter you're just dying to share with us.

    From the context in this thread you could have clearly found out I'm not transphobic, especially since you seem to be stalking my replies.

    Or maybe transphobes are now into pointing out that there's a trans genocide going on.

    I'm all over this comment chain. It rather bothers me seeing this kind of bigotry get deployed against a queer subculture, and a rather long standing one, because it's the same oppression that gets put on us from the outside, and it is especially galling when I see queer people do it to other queer people. I presume that TERF lesbians calling trans people "predatory men invading women's spaces and misguided sisters" is something you can't stand at least as much as I do? Please recognize that painting furries as sexual degenerates is the same thing. Maybe I'm at a nexus of the gay furry community, but so many of the queer people in my locale are also part of the furry subculture, and, no, their existence is not purely sexual, and, yes, furry is a pretty core aspect of their identity and culture.

    Never called anyone a predator.

    Please recognize that painting furries as sexual degenerates is the same thing.

    Never called anyone a sexual degenerate and never condoned it, furries are an artistic subculture and not inherently sexual.

    but so many of the queer people in my locale are also part of the furry subculture, and, no, their existence is not purely sexual,

    Again, never said they would be.

    furry is a pretty core aspect of their identity and culture.

    This doesn't make being a furry an inherently queer thing. Lots of queer people do theater, should being an actor get equated to being queer?

    They're just different things, and while I don't want any harm to come to the furry community, equating furries with lgbt people whole cloth just feels disrespectful to the struggles of queer people.

    Please recognize that other people in this thread are doing those things while you, separately, are merely deriding furries. And while they may not be wholly queer, there is a lot of queer people who are furries and, apparently, a least one study found that two-thirds of furries are queer. And, yes, as it happens "theatre kids" are often queer, and recognizing that a lot of homophobia is directed at theatre folk because it can be an space for queer people to safely explore their identity is somewhat important.
