    This raises some interesting questions, since furries not only have an animal identity, but also are along the anthro spectrum somewhere between human and animal form. Very few furries identify as someone who looks like they could star in The Lion King.

    Of course, when people identify as gay or lesbian, they don’t necessarily include in their identity where they are on the Kinsey scale.

    And then, plenty of trans folk, witches and other people who change their name after an important reckoning, still will keep their government name for official purposes (such as depositing paychecks). Also underaged denizens of the internet will acknowledge the risks they take going into 13+ spaces or adult spaces by clicking through age gates (or even spoofing age verification walls).

    That is all to say, we’re flexible.
