CAT'S MEOW
We have a serious situation on hand folks and it must be brought
to the public's attention as quickly as possible. Laws must be passed, speeches must be made, legislative committees must be formed. It simply can't wait any longer for major pushback. What I'm talking about are the "FURRIES".
It's not enough that we have minorities and transgender and gay people in our public schools (private schools can keep them out and do) but now we have "FURRIES". For the uninitiated, these are people who dress in cat costumes and act and behave as if they are cats. This is where the litterbox phobia came from a couple of years ago. There was a report that a school had actually put a litter box in a bathroom.
Now if a person wants to look and act like a cat, why should I care? Should I put a litterbox in the bathroom of my office? These are questions that I must consider before I make up my mind on the matter. Understanding that we as Americans, having always and continuing to, mind everyone's business but our own, must decide whether we need to make an effort to stop this nonsense before it gets out of hand.
One must not confuse furriedom or a fursona for petplay. Although one is certainly not limited as a furrie; a furrie certainly can engage in petplay if their fursona is involved or not. Although they are not inconsistent, they are not the same. We must be aware of these distinctions when passing legislation.
There has been general moaning about the loss of community in America. I say on the contrary, there is more community now than previously; and what is even better, it's not coerced. Simply hop on line and find a bunch of other like minded folk. A community forms instantly - - messaging, photos, on-line meetings, off-line meetings, greetings and salutations. Simply because there are no other furries in your neighborhood (that you know) you now have an online community of furries. You are no longer alone in your fursona.
A community has formed. Isn't this what Hillary's IT TAKES A VILLAGE had in mind. I surely would think so. Now I can see that our legislative bodies, filled with the thoughtless and uneducated, may find something sinister in furriedom or fursona. Once again they will be terrorized by the unknown and decide anything different or unknown can't and shouldn't be legal and therefore walking around in a cat suit or using a sandbox should be criminal with stiff jail sentences.
Now I'm certainly not promoting furriedom or fusona; I consider this piece merely a conscious raising effort, educating the public to just one more perturbation in the force of normality. After all, you could have had lunch today with someone who in private uses a sandbox.
