  • Hello, I am a queer furry, and if you are put off by my introduction then you have a lot of shit you need to reflect on.

    It is a social norm for openly queer people to be, wait for it, openly queer. Ever hear of a little thing called Stonewall? Ever hear of the core concept of queer pride?

    Bigots feeling bigoted discomfort is solidly a “them” problem, and I should not and will not suppress myself to appease bigots like you.


  • Every corporate tech job I’ve had has dozens, if not hundreds, of openly queer people openly identifying as such. And that’s how it should be.

    Whether it’s as simple as a rainbow or trans flag emoji in slack, as individual as speaking up internally about problematic anti-queer messaging, or as deep as an affinity group who coordinates pride events and such, it is and should remain acceptable and protected.

    And honestly same with furry. I don’t care if who I am as a person may make someone uncomfortable. That’s solidly not my problem, and shouldn’t be an HR issue either.
