Very very grateful for the ability to vocalize as my idealized self/"in character" on voicechats, on streams, in VR. I was nervous/apologetic about it at first (didn't want to be one of "those" furries -- lingering effects of a pointless judgmental streak from earlier in life), but I don't ever want to take it for granted that the people in my life aren't just OK with it, they encourage me to do it, because they see what it does for me and how much happier I am when I get to do it
