that little minds and bigoted hearts and the mundanes will never get it.Freedom scares the hell out of them..They just can't understand we are what we are regardless of what anyone else thinks or believes about what we are.And that means my identity is as valid as any other type of self identity that causes no harm to others.
Fuck the dominant class and colonial culture and it's oppression of diverse self actualization through it's arbitrary, 'norms'.
When boundaries are breached, and identities seem threatened, behavior is
devoted to re-establishing the fixities, reinforcing categories and power
relations.

Furs because they identify as not human,are seen to be ambiguous because they hover between
humanity and animality, subjectivity and objectivity.
neither out of society nor wholly in it. They
(are human beings but to the mundanes, their differences are de-legitimized ,their minds must be warped or malfunctioning,they exist in partial isolation from society as undefined,ambiguous people.
leaving their access to power and legitimacy while having such a strange identity in doubt.


Turner suggests that,
Liminal entities are neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law, custom, convention and ceremonial. The liminal peoples have particular resonances within cultural representation, have a license to criticize or to strip off the pretensions of society and power-holders, citing the example of the court jester. It is for this reason that Members of despised or outlawed ethnic or cultural groups play major roles in myths and popular tales as representatives on expressions of universal human values.

Liminal people, ambiguous people who identify as non human, who are different,are non-conformists, and being non conforming means we are perpetually
threatening to the self-image of the average, so-called `normal' population,(even in a sub population The GBLT,still hoping to be granted"normal status" by the dominator class that defines normal and whom isn't).The key features of this argument are firstly, There is culturally a sickness inherent,created by the social dominator's this equation of certain groups of peoples with certain identities,with nature and the body,(in this case furries,animal people)..

and secondly, this desire for the establishment of a normal identity..through separation from the Other( arguments like GBLT can not be acceptable of furries, fur is not a legitimate identity).

Thirdly, and arising out of these developments, is the projection of negative attributes onto the Other,(the fur) either as part of a denial of those elements in the self,(we are upstanding normal humans,not animals) or as part of a general denigration of disturbing, contradictory, anomalous or threatening phenomena.( Fact is we ARE animals,and that defense against that appears in stuff Like..All the snotty mean spirited comments about furs and hostility about me and hostile inquisitions about how I 'pay' for my dream.How DARE a poor disabled person get his needs met that are not approved by the dominant'normal' definer class!This is an OUTRAGE!!)

Fuck normal. Fuck the dominant social class and their stupid fear driven control shit.There is no such thing as normal or authority.
