Recently I've been thinking about some stuff and I want to put it into writing. I'm going to try and share some more of my thoughts about stuff in the future and CoHost may be a good place for that even if I doubt many (or any) people will read this.
So... As you may know from reading my profile I consider myself both a trans woman and a furry, two groups that most of the time I don't particularly feel like I belong much in but still am a part of.
I know worrying about wether you're "trans enough" is a good sign that you are actually trans but still, I worry about not being trans enough even if what's considered to be trans enough is based entirely on stereotypes and public perception. The thing I worry most about is if I'm really good enough, considering that according to the general public every single trans person must unfortunately be a representative for every trans person in the world. And so I worry that I shouldn't really come out as trans since I'll make other trans people look bad because of my own badness... Or something like that I'm bad at words.
There's the general feeling of being on the outside and looking in with regards to both myself being trans and being a part of the furry community, both largely coming from my feeling of not really being good enough for either. I'm not some genius programmer, brilliant creative, suspiciously wealthy furry or master artist, I'm a mediocre at best retail worker that keeps trying her best even if it's not good enough. And the thing is, most people in these groups aren't any of those things but these ideas have become so pervasive, both outside and inside of these groups, that it's hard to ignore them.
Anyway, that's the end of my stream of conciousness whining/rambling for now. I hope you have a wonderful day and keep trying your best 🐭💕
