A sexually ambiguous Furry American says...
Borrowed from 
*Are you a furry?
Yes, yes I am, though I don’t think of myself as a typical furry, I hold a job that is a big stepping stone in my life. I am working to better myself so that I may provide for myself and be a contributing member of society.
While yes, I bring “furry-ness” into almost everything I do, I don’t let it control my life or keep me down.
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
I don’t think I could be with someone that wasn't furry, I believe that would just feel awkward for both parties.
*How long have you been in the community?
I found it online 2006-7ish. Kinda jumped right in from there!
*How did you find furry?
One of my best friends was showing me art work on DA when he stumbled upon some furry art. He then went on a tangent on how much he hates “fuzzies”
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
The openness, there is no need to hide who you are in this community.
*What's Furry to you?
Not sure. It varies between people but it's mostly just a fun place to make friends. I have met a lot of interesting people due to having one nebulous thing in common. Furry is a conversation starter. A way to bring dissimilar people together. ←I’ll have to stick with that, as it is an amazing answer and its what I, myself believe.
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
Yup, that’s me! (then proceed to attempt to answer any further questions)
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
The way the community feels and acts towards itself(for the most part). The feeling of being part of something that, those on the outside just can’t explain or understand.
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
I use “Murr” on a daily basis with furs and non-furs alike. Yiff is use jokingly and paws I use now and again.
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
Jump on Youtube and search for CSI: Fur and Loathing. That episode sums up what I dislike about furry.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
Blind prejudice annoys me, but, everyone has their opinions and right to share them. So these bashers and furry haters, they really just annoy the piss out of me. In the end, as long as nothing comes of it, I really don’t care.
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
If anyone is into 'bashing' me, then my association with them is finished. I'm not going to bring up uncomfortable subjects or talk about furry with people who don't care about it; but if a person's only focus on me as a person is one personal interest of mine that they find dumb, then why the fuck would I hang around them? ←Again, a perfect answer that I’ll be borrowing.
*We all know furries have alot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
Whats the big deal? Trekies have sex, LOTR fans have sex, respectable business people have sex. While it can be hard to see it sometimes, sex is not the only thing furry is about.
Personal
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
Cougar, Puma, Mountain Lion.
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
Getting mounted by someone in a fursuit is pretty damned hawt! ;3
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
Oh, difficult question to say the least! :P While I would LOVE to be able to do so, being the only “real” furry in the world would not be a good thing. Do you have any idea how fast I would be hauled off to some lab for testing? If it wasn’t for the lab testing, I think I would do it.
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
I don’t know how to answer this one really, mainly because I just don’t know! I’ve always felt that I’ve had a connection with cougars that I couldn’t explain, and its not something I have ever shared. I’ve met other people in my life that do believe in spirit animals and they tell me that I do in fact have a cougar as my spirit animal.
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
LOL well furry has kinda of taken over really. I use to be a pretty hard core gamer. While I do still game quite a bit, I don’t spend as much time in front of the PC screen passing out head shots.
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Anthro.
*Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
Yes, I am kinda of a fursuiter. I only have a head and tail atm, and TBH the head doesn’t see much use... I really not all that happy with the way it turned out. I do plan on getting a scribblefox suit once I’m able to spend that kind of cash again!
*How many of your friends are furry?
A good portion!
*How many pets do you own, if any?
I have one chihuahua.
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Gaming, Paintball/Airsoft, longboarding, reading, movies, photography. More stuff to, but I’m not gonna sit here and type it all up.
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
If someone asks me if I’m furry, I’m not going to lie, but depending on the situation, I may be forced to ask what does it matter what one of my personal interest is, or has to do with the situation at hand.
Meetups
*Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
Yup yup, I hit up RainFurrest and Further Confusion every year!
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
As often as I can!
*Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
Yup yup, in fact I’m one of the local furs that is setting up parties for the local community! :3

I really just stick to FA and Pounced.org

To many to list.
*Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?
Furry put me in touch with a log of kind like minded people. Made me feel part of a community that puts morals first.
*Are you a furry?

I think if you turned into your fursona you'd be to cute your cute already but you'd have to worry about all of the people who'd want to cuddle you till your fur fell out ^^
