and finally, PEOPLE WHO ARE AT DIFFERING LEVELS OF VALID, BUT WERE DEAD ON ARRIVAL/PRE ARRIVAL OF METEOR BABIES SO WHATEVER: alpha dave, alpha rose, and nanna egbert
where does popop crocker rank on the validity list?
Someone told my ex-dad (not a sex thing; he just disowned me) that I’m trans and now he’s threatening to come to work and make a scene, and I know I should be upset, but like. What’s he gonna say exactly? And to whom? Because imagining a haggard and likely shitfaced Pennsylvania construction worker barging through the grocery store like, “HEY!!! THAT BROAD-HIPPED 5'3” EFFEMINATE KID WITH THE CONSPICUOUSLY BIZARRE NAME WHO SPEAKS IN A CARTOONISHLY AFFECTED CARICATURE OF MASCULINITY AIN’T GOT NO DICK!!! YOU GONNA BUY SCRATCH OFF TICKETS FROM SOME KINDA DICKLESS ABOMINATION??“ is wild. What’s it going to accomplish? Or is he gonna call my manager? “HELLO, I’D LIKE TO REPORT A FRAUD IN YOUR DELI DEPARTMENT. THERE IS NOT SAUSAGE AS ADVERTISED.” What the fuck.
Odds are he’s more embarrassed of having a trans ex-kid than I am of being outed at work, so what if I go to his job and tell everyone I’m trans first? What then, coward?
That’s such a power move.
This is exactly the struggle I’m having with my own mother right now and honestly? i sort of did that, but at the church i grew up in. my mom was like “oh so what if i tell the whole church youre trans” as if she had forgotten that nearly everyone who goes to my church is actually gay, like elderly retired gay couples, so i was like “haha okay,” and told everyone.
And lemme just say, watching a 5'2", 87 year old gay man stop my mother mid-sentance to say “Actually, I think he prefers to go by Aiden now.” was the BIGGEST dick energy ive ever seen.
Oh my God
trans men have some of the biggest dick energy ever
MORE CONTEXT BECAUSE Y’ALL THINK HES JUST TRYING TO FIND AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT REPUBLICANS AND “VICTIMIZING HIMSELF” AND THIS POST DOESNT EVEN NEED CONTEXT CUZ HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WITH OR WITHOUT IT ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE IS A GAY BLACK MAN WHOS A FURRY
He’s the only valid furry
The only valid…
SonicFox is incredible and VERY valid, but the only valid furry??

We’re fucking everywhere- were your lawyers, were your developers, were your firefighters.
Also we’re all PEOPLE who do good things. We’re fucking everywhere- and we’re all fucking valid. It’s wild to me that because y’all don’t understand us or who we are or what we do we’re invalid unless you see the work most of us are doing on an international award show pedestal.
SonicFox is incredibly good and important and valid- and the fandom loves him. Hes a VERY valid furry, but he’s not the ONLY valid furry.
