OPEN THREAD: what does being a furry mean to your personally? When you call yourself one, what does that convey?

@starkatt Whoa; this has changed a *lot* since I last really considered it.

Furry for me used to be about connection. Being with others with just enough similar interests that you could get along. It was a fun thing to gather around that became much more over time.

Then it was about sexual freedom for a bit. Being whatever gender I wanted to be, and doing anything with eager partners in any form I could dream up.

Now I'm ace, and it's about cute fuzzy things and appreciating amazing artists.

@starkatt Also: Awesome question to ask. It seems like almost everyone has a differently interesting answer.
