  • And even wilder, animals that don’t conform to our idea of gender (yes, they exist too!). There are still a few things I think can be explored in this topic, sucb as:

    • Animals that reproduce asexually, thus lacking in gender,
    • Animals that are naturally hermaphroditic (such as worms, though these animals are rarely used for fursonas anyway),
    • Animals that can change their gender naturally (such as clownfish. Unrelated, but can you imagine how interesting it would be if that fact is referenced in Finding Nemo?),
    • Animals with different sex determination. For example, turtles’ gender are determined by their temperature in the egg. Imagine the gender stereotypes!
    • Birds also have different chromosomal system for determining gender. It’s not XX or XY for them, but I don’t know much about avian genetics.
    • Some animals have different gender roles. For example, female hyenas are higher in hierarchy than male hyenas. Also, for lions, the lioness are usually the ones hunting. Given that different animals have different gender roles, it would be interesting to see how that would play out in an anthro society where many different species would mix.



  • I think it was used wrong. CMIIW, but you only need to separate clauses with a comma if the subordinate clause comes before the main clause, so this: We squint at the sun, because it’s too bright

    Should’ve been this: We squint at the sun because it’s too bright

    But if the subordinate clause comes before main, then a comma is needed: Because it’s too bright, we squint at the sun

    However, the above mistake is not a mistake in German and a few other languages. If you translate the above sentence in German, it looks like this: Wir blinzeln in die Sonne, weil sie zu hell ist (yes, i use Google Translate)
