Furries: what does being your particular species mean to you?

@starkatt "Being a Martian tigress means never having to say 'I'm sorry. Was that YOUR head?'"

More seriously, the Tigress started out as a way to feel big & unassailable in scary crowds of noisy, conventionally masculine types.

Then it kinda evolved into a way to channel my twitchy, temperamental personality into cartoonish things nobody could take seriously. Why bother arguing when you can just go "rawr", make laughably unscary claws at the target of your ire, and both go about your day?
