I’ve seen many people do this. I’ve seen fursonas with top surgery scars or bottoms reflecting the ones the authors have. Of course, it’s nice to have our own fursonas represents who we are and to make them relatable to us.
But on the flip side, I’ve heard some transfurs preferring to have a cis fursona based on their preferred gender instead. They felt that their fursonas represents their perfect self, which for them would be if they were cis.
There’s nothing wrong with that or making your fursona trans. Your fursona is yours to decide and it doesn’t have to be tied to expectations about yourself; that’s the best part about having a fursona!
But, how do you feel about it? If you are trans, do you also make your own fursona transgender?
Personally, my fursona is transgender much like I am. I usually like to put a little trans pin and write her as “trans” in her ref sheet, assuming that I’d ever take the time to draw her. While being trans isn’t the biggest aspect of my fursona or an imporant detail for most of her art, it is an important part of her identity.
I made my fursona trans without realizing it, because I was also trans without realizing it. They haven’t really changed since then but my trans awakening did recontextualize many traits of theirs that I found odd or confusing, like their androgynous appearance and willingness to accept being dressed like the “opposite” gender. What I thought was a weirdly sensitive boy is actually a genderfluid transfem enby with she/they/he pronouns, which I don’t think is exactly where my own gender identity is going to land but it feels close.
