Xoda Fox - My Furself

I decided that because of my autism and the fact I'm a furry I'm taking my story to the media to explain my condition but to also help us furs.

I have my reasons for becoming a fur, mainly it has been helped by characters such as this picture below.

Kit Mambo, Animalympics, Warner Bros.

Kit Mambo from the film Animalympics as you can see the bottom half of her is human yet the top half shows a African Lioness.

Tara, Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon, Universal Interactive Studios

Another perfect example is this female mouse, Tara is meant to be a spoof of Lara Croft from Tomb Raider once again bottom half human top half animal.

  The feeling that even though I was human I didn't want to be I wanted to dress up in costumes for ages but seeing this film made me more determined to ensure  I did what I wanted to do.

If you were to ask me if I fancied a female furry (a female in a fursuit) then I'd say yes

I posed with the Kidderminster Harriers Mascot when I was at college, I've cropped myself out. Sorry for the blur. Picture from Mobile Phone.

Furry's get a lot of bad press, people assume that all furries do dirty things when some don't.

  HOWEVER!!!!! Below is the good side of Furries

  Furries are really sweet, really cute, really lovable they go through loads of hard times, FurCon (Further Confusion) is one of many cons around the world and gives money to charities, many people who are furries including myself actually have special medical conditions or special needs. I have ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) myself.

FurCon and other charities donates loads of money to charities

These Furry Con's are amazing places that I have seen on Videos, I sadly haven't been to one on the grounds that I'm not in the US and I'm trying to look for ones here in the UK which are an easy distance for me to reach.

It is not clear how much furries have raised for charity as there is no possible answer but what I can say is that it's high  we maybe be touching millions of British Pounds and American Dollars.

  But while us furries do good, there will always be fur-haters and people who don't like us for simply being different.

It is clear that the media is divided.

Many furries are innocent and do things like show off cuteness on Youtube.

I suppose I should state that I didn't have the childhood I wanted, I sought love from my plushies because of my parents. My mom and dad would constantly argue and I really didn't get the TLC I thought I should have got. I shared my secrets with my plushies and talked to them, there was nothing wrong with it and they always listened, they never talked back, complained or argued. I went into a deep depression and upset, I was diagnosed with ASD at my local college and I never felt confident around people I didn't know, especially large crowds I can't cope but that's enough of me personally. So on with my feelings about this.

2013:

Shivers went through my spine, but the best thing happened once I felt confident enough I got myself an account on ebay and began to look at mascot costumes, I didn't want a fursuit because they cost too much, costs would hit hundreds if not thousands of pounds, but low cost mascot costumes did the trick, I paid and within a short period it finally arrived I couldn't open the door fast enough for the postman and signed the form to inform them that I'd received, I instantly opened the box and within a few heart-stopping moments it was there the full head the body and tail and footwear.

I wasted no time getting it on and 5 minutes later I was inside the rabbit I felt happy as if an empty space had been filled since I watched that scene of the two rabbits in the lift that was 11 years ago but now I feel happy.

  Present Day:

Currently I have a few costumes including a horse, penguin as well as a fox.

Future?:

My Goal will be to one day save up enough money to buy a fursuit or maybe alter the animal costumes I have to personalise them a little more. Maybe add a wig and some clothing to give it more personality

  Many of you will, ask why costumes, why turned on by the picture above?

  Well I believe that its the innocence being taken away from something you love or trust that gives me the turn on.
