Its a scary time to be a kidfur but the thing is, if someone confronts you, remember that we have the truth on our side.
We are not promoting abuse. We are a community largely of abuse survivors. We do not need to be cured. We are a community full of mentally and physically disabled people. We do not have anything to be ashamed of or hide. We do sometimes keep our lifestyle private, as is the right of anyone. We are not misfits in the furry community. We are friends, artists, dancers, writers and partners.
Most of all we do not need permission from anyone to exist as we are and do as we please.
All of this is true. It's the witchhunters that are operating under weak misinformation. They speak loudly but it isn't true. A lot of it is borrowed homophobic/transphobic rhetoric anyways. If anyone ever asks you about any of it, you dont have to out yourself, but remember that you can always tell the truth. If they "dont believe" it thats their problem. Our truth can be proven. In this age of people devaluing the truth as an "opinion" that can be disagreed with, it's worth reasserting that the truth is different. The truth is stronger stuff.
