    I used to believe I fit into groups more stigmatized than furries partly as a way of denying my gender issues. Wasn’t an intentional thing, but the weird intersection of certain coping mechanism I had developed and being ace but not knowing it led to an awful explanation for both issues. I don’t think the level of stigma matters that much when you learn coping mechanism before you seriously consider things like identity.

    Also, the “I can’t really do anything with this but hide it” make it easier to not critically examine it. Gender… There’s a lot more to potentially do. And doing stuff can be scary.

      Huh, I see thonk-trans figures my read of a social aspect would be many thousands of miles off. Very neat, I see.

      And yeah I did think last night, since other stuff tends to be things you hide by default maybe that helps, hmmmm. More to this than I had figured…
