calling trans people “predatory men invading women’s spaces and misguided sisters” is something you can’t stand at least as much as I do?

Never called anyone a predator.

Please recognize that painting furries as sexual degenerates is the same thing.

Never called anyone a sexual degenerate and never condoned it, furries are an artistic subculture and not inherently sexual.

but so many of the queer people in my locale are also part of the furry subculture, and, no, their existence is not purely sexual,

Again, never said they would be.

furry is a pretty core aspect of their identity and culture.

This doesn’t make being a furry an inherently queer thing. Lots of queer people do theater, should being an actor get equated to being queer?

They’re just different things, and while I don’t want any harm to come to the furry community, equating furries with lgbt people whole cloth just feels disrespectful to the struggles of queer people.

Being queer is when you’re really into college sports mascots
