I don't really understand what it means to be a furry, if someone could please explain.

I have heard that furries are offensive to trans people or transphobic. Is this true, and if not, why do people think it is?

I am honestly just curious and do not mean to offend anyone

    I thought it was just fun cosplay outfits that people make to dress up as a character they invented, i dont know how its transphobic some of my trans friends like cosplay? People at comic cons are usually really nice even if they are dressed as a dragon or a werewolf, its just fun to dress up

    That makes sense, I am not sure why people would say it's transphobic then. Thanks for the help!
