Alas, "making a fursona" absent from NPR's advice

I recently read a paper out of Cornell (Cornell!) that discussed how fursuiting was such an empowering experience because it was one of the few places where gender exploration for men was accepted. (Among other things)

More seriously, it's a fun comic with good reflections. Check it out. I especially enjoyed Matt Rice's very sweet "the bears at the gay bar became my army of ultra supportive grandmothers" section. www.npr.org/2023/05/05/1...

yeah uh yeah helped me see myself as not cis. It was admittedly a much easier step for me than "wait, I am not het"

Sounds like an article writing oppurtunity for you.
