I (FtM) only had chick sonas until I actually realized I’d rather be a dude. Anyone else, or did you all have fursonas not of your born sex?
My very first fursona was a male skunk who did cosplay. I didn’t think much about it, I was creating a character for an online chat program. My egg had not fully cracked at the time, and I didn’t use that fursona much (didn’t really have time to use the chat program in the end).
My next (current) fursona keeps alternating between female and genderfluid. I am still having problems getting her presentation right, and a lot of people I know see it as a male character when I am not using shape padding. I think once I can start presenting how I want to in mundane life, people will start seeing my fursona the way I want her to be perceived. It does not help that my head is not overly feminine, it is more toony nuetral, which is percieved as male by default. The best I may get for it is androgenous.
If you want to force a more feminine look on a neutral fursuit head, maybe try large eyelashes and/or maybe a pink hair clip? I’m the opposite way, looking feminine when I want to present as more masc, so my tactics won’t work for you lol.
haha actually yes. I created my sona to be a representation of another side of me over a year before I came out. Now my sona has gone through a name change and now she is fully me. I love her to death!
I used my fursona to explore my feelings about a lot of body-plans before settling on what feels right. Turns out I’m a weird kind of enby. =D
I was AMAB, but my fursona is an intersex male (AKA ‘andromorph’). I’ve since decided that I want to transition to be the same way. When I started out in the fandom, I definitely didn’t think I’d ever have those feelings, so yes, my fursona ended up becoming something that my subconscious desires latched onto.
I’m actually intersex (I have multiple intersex conditions), but in a manner closer to AMAB than AFAB. Now, admittedly, my first sona’s original incarnation at its original inception was essentially that (what you mentioned) to some degree. My transition options in the end ultimately are ones involving a PPV with no orchi.
