I thought you meant furrybears, Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 01:46 AM by BillSamhairy gay guys, which I love, being one of them myself. Otherwise, I checked the links (at least the first) and while the statistics there suggest there are a lot of gay/bi "furries" -- people who love animal characters and dress up like them -- the whole thing sounds kind of stupid (if harmless), to me at least, unless it's an (unlikely) indication of bestialist tendencies. It sort of reminds me of people who used to go to Honeymooners conventions and dress up like Ralph Kramden and Alice and all that. I like The Honeymooners, but still -- get a life!Yeah, I'm sure someone will want to attack me for saying this, but I think anyone over the age of eight who wants to dress up like a funny little animal might have maturity issues, but that's my opinion. GLBT -F? I don't think so. And GLBT- B for bestiality. Let's hope never. So I'm with Napoloen on this one.

BillSam (409 posts) Thu Apr-03-08 03:54 AMResponse to Reply #22 27. I = Intersexed which is the new term for hermaphrodites. Intersexed people don't have both sexual organs (of men and women) as in story and legend but rather a combination of both. Parents generally choose what sex to define them as when they're young, but when they become older they can choose to define themselves as another sex, and surgery can help with this. With only a couple of hundred intersexed people in the US and maybe a couple thousand worldwide -- don't have statistics at hand -- some people might label it a medical condition as opposed to a true minority group. Whatever, they shouldn't be discriminated against, of course. Not an easy situation to be in. I'm sure. Some might feel they're a sub-category of transsexual, only in the sense that they also get surgery and can "transition," in a way, from one sex to the other.
Paging Underground Panther... please pick up the white house phone.. are these people serious? they put on animal costumes and have sex with each other? are they that butt ugly that they have to do it that way?

They are very serious, and you are being 'furryist' even thinking that there is something odd about this.
