To my fellow transfurs: are your fursonas also transgender?

I've seen many people do this. I've seen fursonas with top surgery scars or bottoms reflecting the ones the authors have. Of course, it's nice to have our own fursonas represents who we are and to make them relatable to us.

But on the flip side, I've heard some transfurs preferring to have a cis fursona based on their preferred gender instead. They felt that their fursonas represents their perfect self, which for them would be if they were cis.

There's nothing wrong with that or making your fursona trans. Your fursona is yours to decide and it doesn't have to be tied to expectations about yourself; that's the best part about having a fursona!

But, how do you feel about it? If you are trans, do you also make your own fursona transgender?

Personally, my fursona is transgender much like I am. I usually like to put a little trans pin and write her as "trans" in her ref sheet, assuming that I'd ever take the time to draw her. While being trans isn't the biggest aspect of my fursona or an imporant detail for most of her art, it is an important part of her identity.

  • im between fursonas because the last goat doesn't really do a good job representing me these days. Im comissioning a new ref at some point of a different goat that will be trans. I enjoy having my fursona be in my own likeness.

    • Does your last goat match your current preferred gender, or are they based on your old/assigned gender?

      Does your fursona always match your preferred gender?

      Also, a goat fursona. Very interesting. I'm sure your new fursona will be the GOAT!

      • id like to say the old one was androgynous but it presents male. the main thing is that I didn't really put much effort into designing, I just was a very plain brown goat. I identified as a cis-male femboy back then, as it was an easier place for me to chill while i figured myself out and worked towards being in a safer space for me to present as less cis.

        gender-wise I'm non-binary and take feminizing hormones to express an in-betweenness of gender. I don't know how I'll represent that fursona-wise... probably stare at a few selfies and try to figure out what body aspects and goals i can transfer over.

        Im not really the GOAT im just a goat tbh. that spot goes to Ralsei, Asriel, Yagi, or Baphomet
