#1: What piece of writing (here on FA, or elsewhere) are you most proud of?
#2: Looking back, what's your earliest memory of really connecting with furry characters/artwork? (for me it was Maid Marian from Disney's Robin Hood; she was kinda my first childhood crush)
#3: If you could visit any three countries free of charge, which would you choose and why?
hmm... probably a toss-up between "Real" and "It's Like That." I like to think I'm getting better with time.
as for my earliest memory of really connecting with a furry character? probably either Ariel from The Little Mermaid, or Beast from Beauty & The Beast. but I didn't really feel like I could consider myself part of the Furry community until really recently. and I do mean VERY recently. I had tried, before, to ease into it, but then my rapist joined the same Fur group I did within a week of my joining.... so, needless to say, I felt edged out.
as for countries, it's a hard choice. I don't know if Scotland counts as a separate country from the UK, but I would want to go there for free. and I have family and a lover, and an old flame and a friend, all in the Netherlands. so that would be a place I wanna go. other than that, I think it's a toss-up between India, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Japan, and China.
gender is a completely arbitrary social construct, that exists for the sole purpose of dictating peoples' "place" in the social hierarchy or social structure. it has arbitrary definitions with arbitrary boundaries, used to arbitrarily categorize people into expected positions. it could be an actually ranking system (as in a patriarchal or matriarchal society), or it could merely be a division of labour. point being, it's completely made-up, and completely arbitrary.

tl;dr: gender is stupid, so I don't have one.
TMI!
;p
this is why I am thankful for my friends.
