I’m not one myself but I have a close friend who is a therian as Ms she found out in first grade and ever since some of the boys in our year have been calling her a furry since she tried to chase her tail at sports week in third grade. She tried explaining the difference to them but they didn’t listen and it got worse. I love being her friend but they sometimes tease me just for hanging out with her and it’s hard anyone got any ideas how to convince a bunch hormonal teenagers that you and your friends are normal?

Tbh in my experience there isn’t much to do to convince teenage boys to not be the worse. honestly efforts against it make things worse. i’m not saying “just ignore it and it’ll be fine!” cuz acknowledging it and talking about it with adults to maybe assess the situation are things to be done! But you don’t need to prove you or your friend as normal or change yourselves to be the ideal “normal person” in those guys eyes. easier said than done but i just would say to not let it get to you? Because tbh chasing your tail isn’t the most NORMAL thing but it isn’t hurting anyone and if you get teased a bit for being friends with someone that isn’t “normal” i just would sorta.. deal with it? cuz friendship is more important than focusing on dumb teenage boys! eeek

How to explain the difference between Therian and Furry?
I'm just a therian, and when wearing gear or practicing quads, people make fun of me and call me a furry when I'm not. How do explain the difference? Help!

I am a therian, and one of my friends found out. What should I do??? D:
So I was talking to a friend, and basically they found out I am a therian (long story lol), but now they are kinda passively judging me. HELP. Also, my parents who definitely don't support me went through my room and I think they found my gear. They have not talked to me about it yet though. My sister also knows (I recently told her) and It went ok! She thinks it's a bit weird but is fine with it. Any advice on my situation? Stay strong my wonderful friends/alterhumans!!!

Anyone here also a furry and a Therian? I’m looking for friends who understand.
I have been called a monster for years, just because I am/have these four things: the lycanthropy disability, a Therian, a Furry, and an Otherkin. Almost all of my friends have abandoned me because I admitted it.

Am I a Therian?
A few months ago, I found out what therians are. And I related to them in a way. When I was younger (from like 2nd to 4th grade), I would get called a furry because I would bark and run around on all fours and play pretend games where I was an animal during recess. And that was part of what made me question if I'm a therian. I have loved nature for as long as I can remember, and my mom has pictures of me climbing trees, and picking flowers, and rolling around in the dirt. Also, my best friend when I was younger recently told me he is a therian, and a lot of the time we would play animal games together and stuff. still want to do the things I did when I was younger, but I guess I realised that it wasn't normal to do that stuff and I hated the teaseing. I also think I migh be a demitherian bc I'm also at peace with my human identity, but Idk, tell me what you think pls!

What do people assume about furries?
I have friends who are "furries" (sorry I'm using that term) and everyone thinks that anyone who hangs out with a "furry" is one. Everyone also assumes that all "furries" are dogs or cats. What are some things people always seem to assume about "furries" in your experience?

I’m an American-Muslim and Therian! Why do people hate me?
Well I used to do quadrobics when I was like 10 and some 8 year old boys tryed to push me. It was rude so I told my mother I’m a therian and she said that therian are haram but some people like therians and some people are not… Well that’s why I have over 10 therian masks. Thank you for reading this post!
