What Are Furries And Are They Offensive To Trans People?

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

Furriers are people who identify as an animal and wear a thing called a furry suit and wear them most time. Usually during sex

Here is the definition from Wikipedia

The furry fandom is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, speaking, walking on two legs, and wearing clothes

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!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
