one word.... hard

It's hard being a fur these days

i often feel that we have become the primary taboo in this culture. whenever somebody brings up furries they always have negative things to say about it

but i always defend furs because i know who i am and i understand what we are
they confuse what we are and it always leaves me feeling like an outcast.

I wish they could see what i see, about how we all feel. I know how tough it can be when we show ourselves in public, but i am amazed at how authentic we are about it. We know who we are and they will probably never understand.

My mate is a non-fur and he still does not understand it... he only relates furs to being perverted beings... i don't know how to explain it to him.

Anybody have any thoughts? maybe a story or an ideal they can share?

i just have to say that each and every one of you are inspiring to me; to have such a strong community within us is enlightening and makes me feel determined to vanquish the dark views that are held upon our species.

I love all of you
