How do I Come out as a Furry to My kids

When one thinks about furries, they imagine a teen or young adult, may be an artist and may or may not own a fursuit. No one would ever suspect a parent of being a furry.

Where do I start? I’m a mother of two teens, a boy and a girl with a nice husband. I’m a freelance artist of advertisement and other ventures. As an artist, I guess l’ve always been interested in drawing anthropomorphic animals. They just didn’t have a term for it when I was a kid. It was a niche thing I liked to draw. I loved animated films with animal characters in them and still do.

Only recently in the past couple years have I found out what furries were. It seems furries are around my kids age, making it seem I’m too old for this. It seem like fun being one though.

I’m considering whether or not I care to tell my family I’m furry. It feels like I’m coming out to my kids, but it’s about being a furry, not being gay. It’s not the same thing. The fursuits I’ve seen look amazing. I’m thinking of getting one. I art drew out many ideas for my fursona. A female tiger by the name of “Julie-Anna” is my favorite so far.

Any advice on how I should come out as a furry? I don’t want my family to think I’ve gotten weird on them. I’ll answer any questions about the confession. (AMA)

What do you think?

  1. I did do it. My daughter was weirded out by it. My son was okay with it. Julie-Anna is still my fursona’s name. I look cut in my fursuit. We talked about going to the next furry convention.

  2. Hey girl! Just wanted to drop by and let you know that you can do whatever you think is best for you! There’s no obligation to come out if you don’t want to and no need to ID with specific labels either. Just do what makes you feel best! Lots of love and support! <3

    • Thanks for the love and support. My kids are now always asking me anytime we watch a anthropomorphic show or movie, “Do you think he looks cute?”

  3. I’ve thought about doing this too. As a man of nearly 60 I’m completely invisible to 99% of people. Nobody is interested in whatever I have to offer because I’m “old”.
    In a suit, nobody would know I’m old. And I’d likely also just never speak. I wonder what the reactions would be if I took my head off.
    I used to have a lot of friends, now since covid nobody ever invites me to anything and few still contact me. I need new friends.

    • I’m 63 and have been living the furry life since I was 50.
      My fursona is a Herm Fox named Matti. Once I got hooked into a fur community, I was having so much sex!!
      I had never been penetrated before that, as I am male, but now I love being bred by other furries. I have both female and male fur friends but the males absolutely love how wild I am sexually and I am more sexually fulfilled that I have ever been!!!
      Matti
