Trans-Specieal???
7 years ago
Okay, this is a new one for me... I was not always a Rabbit. I first started as a Monkey, didn't feel all that right, and then I was a Husky... Better, but still missing something... When I was a Tanuki, I felt more myself; however, there was still something I didn't have... I became a Rabbit after that, and my Silas Warren Fursona suits me the best out of all my choices so far... I, occasionally, get the thoughts of being something else, and I realize it's most likely because I'm still trying to figure my Person Self out... But that's only a part of this little... thing... I suppose it's a bit of a reflection. So I have been fortunate enough to meet a few people in the Fandom, Furries, whatever you feel most comfortable being addressed as, and the lot of them understands a person trying to find what they feel free as... Most recently I met one who referred to me as "Trans-Specieal". I'm assuming that's the proper spelling. I doubt it's an actual thing though; I know people have swapped before, but this particular terminology... I can't really argue with him, but the tone he used made me upset... Condescending, and all that... I know better than to hate him, I don't really, it just struck something in me... Looking back at myself, and then going a little deeper I remembered something... I don't give a D*** about what people like that have to say... I wasn't hurt, but it helped me realize that maybe my swaps are more based on who I am and not necessarily Silas or any of my previous Fursonas... Speaking of which if any of you knew a Monkey who went by the name Alaric Thomas, or a Tanuki by the name of Sen Takanada (Technically Takanada Sen since it's proper). I am so sorry. I get carried away in those kinds of video games... Back to my topic... I don't feel bad about myself. Looking at who I am, and the general descriptions of (i.e. personality, behaviors, mental well being, etc.) the Fursonas out there... My cloth is already patchwork. (I am one gem with many, many facets. Whatever phrase gets the point across)... While I doubt I will change my current Fursona any time soon, don't be confused if I accidentally slip up and address myself as anything other than a Rabbit. No machine is made with a single part, and the same can be said for every last one of us... Thanks for bearing with me on this one. And again, sorry to the people who found out the hard way about my "Defensive Driving" Technique.
