My chat fursona evolves through rp, and exploration with other fur rp-ers. I feel liberated to try things through him (ie /ME) with my new appearance, and with your furpearance... (fappearance?) - without concern for gender, say, or your rl shape or my own... with fur-on-fur although we have fur-genders it does not seem to matter: it is raccoon-on-wolf (or fox) not guy on guy, or guy on girl... for /me at least...
Minds are odd things. Discovered or chosen? Either, both... Both ways are sides of the mind. We will end up in a nature/ (self)-nurture debate... I choose to discover my nature, and mold it by allowing it to manifest, to grow, to change, to be crafted by my choices... The "allowing" is a choice.
Nuff for now. If you really want to get into nature/nurture I am game... but not now, not here. New thread perhaps.
