Dear papa bear,

I am a natural-born female, but I identify as genderfluid (this means at times I'll feel female but at other times I feel like I'm a male—and should have been born one). This took some time to figure out. Now my question: As a female I'm bisexual, but as a male I'm gay. I'm open to finding a mate of either gender, but I find it a bit difficult to explain to them how I am. Keep in mind my mental gender changes time to time, day to day, but my physical gender will not be changed. How could I explain something like this to them without seeming like a person who can't pick a gender or sexuality? 

This took me years to figure out about myself; it’s just explaining it to others because it would be great to find a mate (that, though, is something I'm working on myself =^^=)

Thank you,

Sparkplug the Fox

Dear Sparkplug,

What’s wrong with explaining it to them the way you just explained it to me in this column? Sparkplug, you have spent literally years thinking about this and coming to conclusions about what genderfluid is and what it means to you. That makes you eminently more qualified than Papabear to explain what genderfluid is, and I think you’ve done a fine job of succinctly defining it right here.

Your problem isn’t that you don’t know how to explain genderfluidity (not sure even if that is the right word), it’s getting up the courage to talk about it in front of someone you like and might be interested in as a love interest. And the way to do that is to not apologize for who you are. And if questions are asked about that, explain how you feel honestly and bluntly. If someone can’t or won’t understand who you are, it is their problem, not yours. Never compromise yourself to try to please others for the sake of a relationship, because that will land you in a dishonest relationship.

One glorious day you will run into someone who loves you for you. When that happens, grab onto them and hold tight.

Wishing You Love,

Papabear

Transitioning to a new blog theme, which is a pretty slick theme but like three pay grades higher than my current level of technical and wordpress knowledge. Please stand by as I try and fix my progress. Thanks!

Hello r/Furry! I am planning to get a fursuit when I go to college in a few years. but I have some questions. How hot does it normally get in suit? What are the differences between partial and fullsuits? If I buy a fullsuit, can I just wear the head/paws/armsleeves as a partial sometimes? What are some ways to keep cool? Is it comfortable? Is the fursuit head heavy or light? Am I asking too many questions yet? Thank you all for your help.

Hello everyone! I've been somewhat curious about furries for a few years, but I initially had several misconceptions about what the fandom is and what its members do. My first "exposure" was due to that infamous CSI episode, which is where most of my misconceptions came from. However, I've run into anthropomorphic art a few times, and I've been reading Housepets! for about a year and a half, so I decided to do a bit more research. The other thing that piqued my interest was this animated music video that my roommate showed me two weeks ago.
I've been reading this subreddit for a little over a week, and the posts here have both informed me and drawn me towards this fandom . So, I've decided that I'd like to be a furry. I've really only talked about this with my roommate, who is a fairly nonjudgmental person. I'm not really used to talking to people online despite having grown up with the Internet, but you guys seem rather friendly.

My friend is looking to rename his fursona, and I'm drawing a blank. He's Chaotic Good, a black fennec fox with green glowing accents.

Here are several pictures of him-

First image I did of him

(On the left) Engineering with my tesem

(On the right) Playing Guitar Hero with our red fox friend

Showing off some glow

Showing off his long, reptilian tongue

As for the reward, for the name he chooses, that person can get a full body digital piece from me (SFW) as incentive for help! Heads up, he might not choose any name here. Being a fursona, the name is super important, so he'll probably be picky. I'll update tomorrow when he gets back online, please be patient!

EDIT- Avoid common people names please. Looking for something a bit special. Can either be a made up name (like my name Neinna) or perhaps a combination of words (like Darkshadow).

Hello! I am Tarvii, a wolf-badger who's been obsessively playing Warframe for the last few months. I was forced out of my clan due to lack of active members and I thought, "gee I wonder how many other fuzzballs play this?" and after pondering for quite a while I decided there's no better way to find out than to herd! So if you do play or want to start, feel free to join my clan; FurriesUnited. I created it about 5 minutes before posting this so if you have any questions concerning it I'll be more than happy to answer them! I hope to see you guys soon, have fun Tenno's and fuzzballs and game on! :D

It's friday, I have some vodka, it's late, let's do some sketches! I'm very bad at drawing clothes and I need some practice! I think hiphop/street fashion look cool, so I'll be doing that.

The clothes look bad (and the angle, but whatever), but that's why I'm practicing!

I'll look at different fashion and I draw your character! This is a free for all because too much vodka'll do that and I want to draw without care. I'll choose the outfit if you don't tell me anything specific

Will likely be very sloppy, but I'll try my best!

I'll try to draw whatever character ref or no ref!

EDIT!

I DRANK TOO MUCH TO DRAW, I think! I OVER-ESTIMATED MYSELF!

I'LL BE BACK IN THE MORNING, I PROMISE! I'm sleepy, I'M SORRY!!!

Normally i wouldn't post stuff like this, but she's a good friend of mine. She's new to the fandom and looking for more furry friends...so i thought i'd post here.

Her skype is tavasthetauren if anyone wants to add her! She's cool. Her name should appear as Jess or something.

Can’t quite tell if there’s use of an actual practical prop, but there’s definite use of computer graphics. Either way the fur detail is impressive, if somewhat static in facial expression but then it seems the ears do most of the communicating.
