Here are some common misconceptions explained:
"Furries and therians are the same thing. Stop trying to convince me they're not."
Actually, furries and therians are not the same thing. Furries are cosplayers, and therians identify NON-phsyically as animals. Did I say non-phsyically?
"You're not an animal."
Therians do NOT believe they are animals, and 100% know they are human. I think you are talking about lycanthropy, which is a mental illness in which a person literally thinks they are an animal.
"You're mentally ill."
Actually, no, I am not mentally ill. Again, you are talking about lycanthropy, which is an actual mental illness, and should get treated. And anyways, even if I was mentally ill, it wouldn't help to point it out.
That's pretty much it, you can ask any additional questions in the comments. Thank you!
