So, would you?

  • Hell yeah, there’s no downsides!
  • I would if it’s what it takes to be my preferred gender.
  • Maybe, I’m kinda torn…
  • No! I don’t want to be my fursona for real…

Some clarification:

  • You would be the only one turned into an anthro, everyone else is still human.
  • If you have multiple fursona, you’d have to choose one.
  • The gender of the fursona you chose to turn to would match your preferred gender.
  • You wouldn’t receive the superpowers of your fursona if they had one. You wouldn’t become extremely large, have superpowers (especially not omnipotence or shapeshifting), or anything else other than an ordinary anthro.

My response:

Personally, I’m kinda torn. Becoming both my fursona and my gender at the same time would be a dream come true. Being my fursona isn’t just a downside, it’s what I wanted.

But, in this scenario, I’d be the only anthro raccoon-- or anthro at all-- in the sea of humans. Thinking about it, if humans already discriminate against others just because of sexuality and gender (think of queerphobia and transphobia), imagine how they’d react to a completely different species, one that looks like an animal.

It’d be cool to be my girl fursona, but very hard with how humans behave to anything different from them (also, funnily enough, I imagine myself as my fursona commenting on humans when I wrote that sentence).

    Cool as it would be to be exactly the gender I’d want to be, I don’t really want to be murdered or hate crimed for being a bizarre human-animal hybrid. If everyone changed, or like a large portion of society had a change, I’d jump in too, but if it’s just me… I have social anxiety and I don’t think I’d like all the attention. My friends and spouse would be cool with it at least?

    Also I feel like you’d get hit up by creeps all the time who fetishize you. No thanks!
