    In my experience it’s not always something you just “are”, like being gay. Personally I do feel like it’s something I’ve always been, but I know many people that don’t feel that way.

    Generally, if you identify as a furry then you’re a furry. If you want to stop identifying as a furry then you can stop identifying as a furry. If you feel like it’s deeper than that then you can come to terms with whatever that means for you.

    In terms of a test, just expose yourself to some furry-related media and see if you like it. From the tone of your post I’m going to guess you might have a negative bias towards furries, so it might be a little harder to get past that initial kneejerk feeling to figure out what your own real feelings are.

    Above all, if you haven’t interacted with the furry community before you should know that literally anything you want to identify as will be welcomed here. Furries are the most radically-accepting group I’ve ever seen. Be yourself and we’ll celebrate it with you.

      Where did you get the expression that I’m negative about the furry community? I really like the community. Like every interaction I had with a furry was a good one and as far as I know most of them are amazing people. I’m scared that I may identify with a community because I want to be long and not because I am that

    There is no gatekeeping here. You don’t need to pass a bar, there’s no list of movies you need to watch or a fursona you need to have. It’s just a lot of people who enjoy funny animal characters.

    Being a furry is just matter of self identifying as one and appreciation of anthro animals. What defines an anthro is very broad and has a very low bar to clear

    So there’s nothing else to it really, do you like anthros or not? And do you like furries (the community) and wish to be associated with them?

      I don’t contribute to the fandom and probably won’t, I have no fursona (probably will want a character, like in RPG), no fursuit, but yes. I want to be a furry, not 100% a furry, but still.
