Why can’t my species representation not fit me as well? For that matter, maybe I’m a Jew born in a black body, or an Asian born into a white body. Who are you to say? How dare you.

Because there is no species representation, meaning they are no social constructs. You cannot change your species, just like you cannot change your sex. Transsexual people might take medications or do surgeries that change their bodies physically, somewhat changing part of their sexual expression, but they can never change their entire sex, which is defined by many things including their genes.

Gender however, which is not tied to biological markers but social rules, can change. A hundred years ago women couldn’t wear trousers because wearing them would make them men and people found that unnatural. Some women wore them and anyway, some might have called them transgender at the time. Then gender stereotypes changed and it became socially accepted for women to wear trousers, and a woman wearing them isn’t seen as masculine nowadays.

Species are not defined by their behavior, but by their genes.

However gender is defined by behavior.

I didn't say "species" were defined by their genes. And so what if they are? But their behavior is malleable. A person can change their gender? A person can change their race or their "species" or whatever else they feel. Why can't a human be an elephant?

No, you didn’t say it but I did. I am talking about animal species. You are in your own nonsensical speech which I don’t plan to take part in.

Notice how my vision is coherent, while yours is confused and ever-changing.

There are people out there who don't identify with their own skin color. And what about flurries who identify as whatever their furrsona is. Would that save the joke?

No one can actually change those or have them officially recognized so it doesn’t really work either, but I get what you mean.

Honestly I'm just confused at this point. I don't know what to think anymore.

first of all that furries don't "identify" as their fursona, that's a fucking lie. the second thing you mentioned also isnt considered socially acceptable by anyone. Anyone saying these things is just trying to make trans people look bad by proxy
