how has being a furry impacted how you view your gender or gender as a whole?

(pic for engagement lol old art by me) i’ve got a question for my fellow trans and nonbinary furries (or just gender non conforming furries too) how has being a furry impacted how you view your gender or gender as a whole? i feel like the relationship between the fandom and gender is really interesting and it def played a part in me personally tackling and discovering my identity, and still does play a role as i continue to discover it further. i feel like most people are aware of its connection to sexuality especially for gay men but i see its connection to gender discussed a lot less. just wanna hear people’s thoughts 😸
