Furry Tries to Cloak Being Trans with a Male Fursona
I am in a bit of a pickle. I won't go into too much detail, but I have always identified strongly as female but with one big issue: this body is very much not. A while back I came to the sad realization that it can't be fixed (trust me, I've tried), and I just need to try to accept it as a harsh reality.
In my efforts to do so, I created a new male fursona (a fancy cat who's a charming gentleman by day and a smooth criminal mastermind by night) designed to help me connect with and express it (I one day hope to have a fursuit, but it would have to be of THIS fursona for it to properly work with the body), but I honestly don't know how or where to even start (having of spent a few decades actively rejecting the idea).
So my question is this: Do you have any advice on how I can use this new male fursona as a way to accept and enjoy the manhood that has been thrusted upon me?
I know that this is a weird question and likely not one you're fully equipped to help with, but I figure I might as well try since I really don't have many places to turn to for this kind of thing.
Thanks in advance,
Confused Cat

Dear Confused,
So, you are a male who identifies as female. At age 31 you should be old enough (past puberty and mentally mature) to come to terms with how you identify as a woman and not a man. In other words, you're trans. There is nothing wrong with this; it's just something you need to come to accept. Therefore, creating a male fursona in an effort to try to reconcile with "the manhood that has been thrusted upon" you is not going to work.
Now, if you want to have a fursona (or fursonas) that are of different sexes and genders for the fun of experimentation and exploring your sexuality, there is nothing wrong with that at all. This can, in fact, prove quite useful and be a growing experience.
But if you're just trying to deny you're trans, you're out of luck.
Here is a very useful page that answers a lot of questions if you believe you are trans: https://www.pointofpride.org/blog/how-do-i-know-if-im-trans.
Good luck!

The Annie Award Nominations for 2023
The International Animated Film Society (ASIFA) recently announced the nominations for the 2024 Annie Awards, celebrating the best of animation in 2023. Needless to say, there was a lot of anthropomorphic material being shown off last year! The shape-shifting little rebel known as Nimoma walked away with the most nominations: Nine in all, including Best Editing, Best Writing, Best Voice Acting (for Nimona herself, Chloë Grace Moretz), Best Storyboards, Best Production Design, Best Directing, Best Character Design, Best Character Animation, and Best Animated Feature Film (whew!). Not far behind was Hayao Miyazaki’s swan-song (heron-song?) The Boy and the Heron, with seven nominations including Best Feature. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Pixar’s Elemental followed with six nominations each. Rather a surprising one was Robot Dreams (directed by Pablo Berger) which brought in five nominations including Best Independent Feature Film — the latter shared by Earnest and Celestine: A Trip To Gibberitia and Four Souls of Coyote. Nominations for Best Animation in a Live Action Production include Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, The Little Mermaid, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and Cocaine Bear (!). Some interesting anthro films with one nomination each include Migration (Voice Acting), Super Mario Brothers (also Voice Acting), and Leo (for Editing). Over on the TV & Series side of things, the one to beat is Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, with four nominations, but there are also multiple nods for Hilda and My Dad the Bounty Hunter. See all the nominees over at the Annie Awards web site, and watch for the winners when the awards are given out on Saturday, February 17th. (And don’t forget: Nominations for the 2024 Ursa Major Awards will open up soon as well. Be ready!)

An Extensive Guide on Fursuit Legs
- Introduction
- Understanding Fursuit Legs: Types and Styles
- Materials And Tools Needed
- Designing Your Fursuit Legs
- Construction Techniques
- Maintenance And Care
- Can You Commission Fursuit Legs?
- Takeaway
Introduction
In the world of fursuits, every detail is essential. The legs of a fursuit are crucial to the look and feel of a character.
In this article, we’ll explore all about fursuit legs. We will look at different styles, discuss how to build them, learn about the best materials and how to keep them in shape.
But this guide is more than just instructions. It’s about the fun of making and maintaining something unique.
Understanding Fursuit Legs: Types and StylesFursuit legs are not just part of a costume. They bring your character to life. Each style of fursuit legs has its unique look. Understanding these styles will help you make your choice. You can choose the one that best suits your character and is comfortable for you. Let’s take a look at one style at a time.
Plantigrade Legs
Plantigrade legs in fursuits are like human legs. These legs stand and walk like us, with the whole foot flat. When you make a fursuit with these legs, the goal is to copy the straight shape of human legs. This makes the suit comfortable and easy to move around in. It’s a good choice if you’re new to fursuits or like a natural look.
Plantigrade legs are easier to make than other styles. They don’t need extra padding or complicated moulding. For the material, you should choose something that is both flexible and strong. It should allow you to move easily and also last a long time.
A big advantage of plantigrade legs is that they’re comfortable to wear. They’re less heavy and ideal for hot days or long wear. These legs also suit many costumes. You can use them for realistic animals or fantasy creatures.

Digitigrade LegsDigitigrade legs are different and have a special look. These legs stand out because they look like the legs of animals such as dogs and cats. Animals walk on their toes, and the digitigrade legs mimic this. They make the fursuit look more like an animal. They give it height and a lively shape. These legs are a good choice if you want your fursuit to look animal-like.
The production of digitigrade legs is more complicated than that of plantigrade legs. They need additional padding to give them the shape of animal legs. This padding is usually made of lightweight foam. It provides the right shape and allows you to move. The challenge is to make the legs look real and still be comfortable.
Digitigrade legs are popular because they make a big difference to the look of the fursuit. They transform a simple costume into something that looks like an animal. They’re more costly to make and wear, but many people find it worth it.
You need to think carefully when choosing the fur for these legs. The fur should accentuate the particular shape of the legs. It can be different lengths or colours. The fabric should allow you to move well and last a long time.
The production of fursuit legs, whether plantigrade or digitigrade, requires various materials and tools.
Materials
When making fursuit legs, choosing suitable materials is crucial. Each material has a special role. It influences how the fursuit looks and feels and how long it lasts.
- Faux Fur
This is what people see first. It’s the fur on the outside. There are many types of faux fur. They come in different colours and lengths. Think about your fursuit character when choosing the fur. Some characters need a long coat, others a short one. The fur should also be robust. It must be able to withstand a lot of movement.
- Foam for Padding
This is especially true for digitigrade legs. The foam moulds the legs and makes them look real. Use light, flexible foam. It should be easy to cut into the right shape. But it must also be firm enough to keep its shape.
- Lining Material
The inside of the legs needs a lining. It makes the fursuit more comfortable. Use a fabric that is soft and breathable. It prevents the foam from rubbing against your skin. It also helps with sweating if you wear the suit for a long time.
- Thread
A good thread is crucial. It holds the coat and the lining together. The thread must be strong. Fursuit legs move a lot, so the thread needs to keep everything tight.
- Fasteners
These can be zippers, buttons or Velcro fasteners. They help to open and close parts of the fursuit. They must be sturdy. You’ll use them often.
- Elastic Bands
These help ensure that the suit’s parts fit well and move correctly. They must be tough. They will stretch a lot when you move.
Tools
The right tools are required for making fursuit legs. Each one has a particular job. They make the work easier and better.
- Sewing Machine
This tool is not a must, but it helps a lot. It sews faster and more neatly than hand sewing. It’s really good for long, straight stitches. If you plan on sewing a lot of fursuits, a sewing machine is a good thing to have.
- Scissors and Cutters
You need a good pair of scissors for cutting fabric and fur. They should be sharp and made for cutting fabric. For foam, use a foam cutter or an electric knife. They will help you to cut the foam cleanly and get the desired shape.
- Measuring Tape
When making fursuits, it is important to be precise. A flexible tape measure is a must. It helps you to measure your body and the materials correctly. This ensures that the fursuit fits well and is easy to move around.
- Glue and Adhesives
You need different adhesives for the other parts of the work. Fabric glue sticks foam to fabric. It must be solid and flexible. A hot glue gun is also helpful for quick fixes and tiny details.
- Marking Tools
When you cut and sew, you must mark where you want to cut and sew. Use pens, markers or tailor’s chalk. They should be visible on the fabric but also easy to remove.
- Pattern Paper
If you make your patterns, you can decide what you want your fursuit to look like. Pattern paper is used to draw these patterns before you cut the fabric. This is really helpful, especially for beginners.
- Needles and Pins
You need different needles for sewing by hand. Some things cannot be sewn with a machine. Pins hold the fabric in place before sewing. They ensure that everything is in line and that you can sew accurately.

It’s also about being creative and practical and making sure they’re comfortable. You can choose realistic digitigrade legs or simple plantigrade legs. Either way, this is where your fursuit starts to come together.
Initial Sketching and Planning
The first step in designing fursuit legs is sketching your ideas. This is where you start turning your thoughts into an actual design.
- Sketching the Basic Outline
Your first step is to draw a rough shape of the legs. Concentrate on the general look you want to achieve. Think about whether you want them to look strong, sleek, or animal-like. Draw them from different angles to get a complete picture. It’s okay if it’s not perfect; this is just the beginning.
- Adding Details
Once you have a basic shape, add more details to your sketch. It includes the length and type of fur, unique markings or features such as scales and how they should look. If you are designing digitigrade legs, take into account the shape changes caused by the padding. For plantigrade legs, consider how you want the fabric to drape and move.
- Considering Movement
When designing a suit, it’s essential to consider how the legs will move and bend, as this will impact the overall comfort of the suit. It’s a good idea to sketch out where the legs will bend and consider how the material will react to movement.
- Refining Your Design
Go back to your sketches and make adjustments. This may mean changing the proportions, the shapes or the details. You need to try different things to find out what works best.

Selecting Fabrics and ColoursChoosing the right fabrics and colours is the key to giving your fursuit legs. This step is essential for both the look and function of your suit.
- Fabric Types
Faux fur is often used for fursuit legs. It looks natural and is available in many variations. Long, shaggy fur is good for the appearance of wild animals. Short fur is good for pets or slender characters. Think about how long the fabric will last and how easy it is to clean.
- Underlying Fabrics
Use a firm, stretchy fabric under the coat. Lycra or Spandex are an excellent choice. They support the coat and ensure that the suit fits well. They should stretch and then return to their shape. This will keep the suit looking good for a long time.
- Colour Considerations
Colour brings your character to life. Think about how colours look in a different light. Some colours look different inside and outside. Also, think about how the colours work together. This includes any patterns or markings your character has.
- Texture and Patterns
The texture of the fabric can make your suit more authentic. Choose fabrics that look natural. If your character has special markings, you may need to add them yourself. You can do this with an airbrush or sew in different coloured fur. This requires care, but it will make your character more authentic.
Now, let’s move from planning to making your fursuit legs. We will cover different ways to make both plantigrade and digitigrade legs. Each type has its methods and tricks.
Sewing Your Fursuit Legs
Sewing turns your fabric into fursuit legs. The first thing you need to learn is the fabric grain. This is the way the fabric is woven. You need to align your patterns with this grain. This is very important, especially with stretchy fabrics like lycra or spandex. It ensures that the fabric stretches properly and retains its shape.
Once you have understood the fabric grain, the next step is to cut the fabric. You should use your final pattern for this. Don’t forget to add extra fabric to the edges. This is important so that the suit fits properly. If you’re cutting faux fur, make sure that you only cut the underside. Avoid cutting the fur itself. This will keep the fur looking good.
Now, you need to pin the fabric pieces together. This helps to keep them in line when sewing. Then, sew the seams. A straight stitch is sufficient for most fursuits. However, use a zigzag or stretch stitch for stretchy fabrics. It allows the seams to stretch without tearing. The legs of the fursuit move a lot, so you should reinforce the seams. This is particularly important in areas such as the crotch and knees.
Once the main seams are finished, you must hem the edges. Hemming makes the suit look neat. It also prevents the fabric from fraying.

Padding for Digitigrade LegsThe production of digitigrade legs for a fursuit is a special task. These legs imitate animals that walk on their toes, such as dogs or big cats. The proper padding is crucial. It shapes the legs and influences how the suit moves.
First, you need to understand the animal’s leg structure. Digitigrade animals have unique legs, large calf muscles and a raised heel. Next, choose the foam. Padding foam is good because it is flexible but firm. It should be lightweight but also strong enough to keep its shape.
The main work is to shape the foam. First, cut it into rough muscle and bone shapes. Then, carve these parts so that they look like real animal legs. Lay the foam on top of each other to form the leg shape.
After shaping, attach the foam to the base of the fursuit legs. This base can be a pair of tight trousers or a layer of lycra. Glue the foam in place with strong glue or sew it by hand. It must fit securely, but you must still be able to move. You can cover the foam with the same fabric as the rest of the fursuit. This can be done by sewing it onto the base or creating a removable cover.
Maintenance and Care
Looking after your fursuit legs well is essential. It keeps them looking good and lasting long. Here’s how you can take care of them:
Cleaning and Washing
Clean the legs of your fursuit often, especially if you wear it frequently. For minor tints, spot cleaning with a mild detergent is sufficient. If they need to be cleaned thoroughly, check the instructions for the fabric. Some suits can be washed in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Others must be washed by hand. Always use a mild detergent.
Drying
The right way to dry them is crucial. Do not use a dryer with high heat. This can damage the fabric and the coat. Instead, gently squeeze out the water. Then, let them air dry. You can use a fan to hasten up the process but don’t use direct heat.
Brushing the Fur
To keep the coat looking good, brush it regularly. Use a coarse-toothed comb or a special synthetic fur brush. Brush it gently to untangle knots and loosen up the coat. You should do this, especially after washing, as the coat can become matted when wet.
Storage
Keep your fursuit legs in a cool, dry place when you’re not wearing them. Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent them from fading. You can hang them up in a garment bag or put them in a big box. This way, they will keep their shape, and the fur won’t be squished.
Repairs
If you see small rips or tears, fix them quickly. This will prevent them from getting worse. Small repairs can be sewn by hand. You will achieve the best results if you stick to the original seams. For larger repairs, you may need professional help.
Refreshing the Look
Over time, the suit may look a little dull. You can use fabric sprays for faux fur to brighten it up. These sprays can bring back the colour and make the suit smell nice. However, test the spray on a small area first.

The Probe Found Something
We’ll let the folks at Image Comics describe their 5-issue mini-series Voyagis for themselves: “What if one of the Voyager probes was found by aliens on an uninhabitable planet laid waste by a wandering black hole? Their resources dwindling and under the thumb of a relentless tyrant, alien hero Sen’s discovery of the probe leads to adventure – and possible salvation – for her and her people.” It’s always fun to find science fiction adventures that don’t focus on human characters. This is written and illustrated by the artist Sumeyye Kesgin.

Ac-tion! We Need Some Ac-tion!
Another one that slipped beneath our radar — but fortunately it’s still available! It’s the Tuff Stuff one-shot comic, created by Kevin Delgado. “Tuff Stuff is a washed out cretin who spends his days scouring the beach boardwalk for loose drugs. When a string of disasters causes his normal haunts to be destroyed he sets out on a quest for retribution. His goal: To Save Spring Break! For fans of cheesy 80’s/90’s B-Action Movies… and cats.” Ask the folks at Source Point.

FWG Monthly Newsletter January 2024
I had to check that I had the year right, but we are here in 2024! From everyone here at the guild, I hope you had a pleasant Christmas period and new year, however you choose to celebrate or not.
The start of a new year is always an exciting one, filled with plans and expectations for the twelve months to come. It’s no different for us at the FWG! We also have several plans which we are hoping to set in motion that will allow the guild to better serve the furry writing community.
The first of these is one that we have already announced – we are finally bringing out a third anthology! Tales from the Guild in 2014 with Music To Your Ears, and was followed up with World Tour in 2018. Six years later, and we’re back with Blood and Water! We are now open for submissions and will be until the end of March. See the entry below in the market updates for more information.
Secondly, we plan on opening up the blog to more guest authors. This can include author spotlights, essays, and other content. The spotlight with Joaquin Baldwin was received well last year, as were the spotlights we ran for Furry Book Month in 2022. We will be opening up for submissions for general blogs – aiming for at least one guest blog per month – as well as topical ones during months/days of focus, such as Black History Month, Pride Month, and International Women’s Day. This list is not exhaustive, so if you think your blog idea fits with any topical day, week, or month, send it in to us and we can make judgements on whether it is appropriate to feature. Note: the blog itself does not need to be strictly related to the topical focus – so long as the author is a part of the relevant group.
Submissions to the blog may be made through the following form:
https://forms.gle/icEUzYtZQ5tFE6w47
We hope to share more updates and news with you as the year progresses – and that will of course include the Coyotl Awards! Start getting your list of eligible works together, as it should not be long before we have the Reading List ready to go. Authors may submit their own works to the Reading List for the consideration of the FWG Members who will then nominate works to the shortlist.
Didn’t have anything ready for the Coyotls this year? Perhaps you can find a home for a short story to become eligible for next year!
Indulge – Deadline January 31st 2024
Get Wild – Deadline February 1st 2024
Tales From The Guild: Blood And Water – Deadline March 31st 2024
Indecent Exposure – Deadline When Full
This Is Halloween – Deadline When Full

F/F No Erotic Anthology – Deadline When Full
Isekai Me! – Deadline When Full

We also have a few recent releases from guild members to check out!

As always, guild members, if you have something coming out soon, send it our way so we can include it every month!
I am really excited to see what 2024 can bring. I hope that your writing plans come to fruition. All of us at the FWG are interested to see what you can come up with!
Stay safe.
Happy writing.
J.F.R. Coates
Raccoon Reckoning
We’ll admit we had not heard of Loud and Smart, an independent comic strip by Alex Krokus. But now Silver Sprocket have released a great big collection called Loudest and Smartest. “Meet Alex: an internet-addicted millennial raccoon and his misadventures in the big bad city. Loudest and Smartest collects over 350 pages of Loud and Smart by Alex Krokus, featuring comics about punks, horrible couples, love, jobs, and the disgusting depths of viral videos.” [Here’s to wishing you all the best of times in 2024 — ye ed-otter.]
