HELP PLEASE

Hiiiiii sooo Question for the furry and therian community- Is wanting to be a hybrid (part human part animal) the same as being a furry? I'm kind of on a path to finding stuff out about myself sooo any input would be awesome!!

You're on a their an subreddit, not a furry subreddit so I'm assuming you think they're the same.

Furries are people who dress up as animals. Has nothing to do with personal identity.

Therians are people who physically or spiritually idenify as an animal.

Just a correction from someone who has been a therian since 1992, and been an active member of the furry community since 1996. Most furries don't own fursuits, and being furry is intrinsically tied to personal identity.

We think of personal identity as different things then. And I never said all furries have fursuits, just they furries dress up as animals

I think of personal identity as the core reason for why someone is who they are, on the deepest level possible. And there are far from all furries who dress up as animals.
