Not categories, entirely different sets of content for:

straight: pornhub.com
gay: pornhub.com/gayporn
trans: pornhub.com/transgender
lesbian: ___ which is actually just a category and not a set of separate content___ oof___ pornhub.com/video?c=27

This is incoherent to me.

You are conflating sex and gender which are distinct things.

How so? Also it would help if you didn't cut off the quote mid phrase.

Other than, arguably, pornography they don't seem to be overly relevant to furry either.

I'm giving a family resemblance definition of furry sexual. I'm not making any deep claims about the activities of any particular furries.

Apologies, I did misspeak with "all", however that's like saying trans people all share the hobby of crossdressing and it's just fetish wear. Fursuits serve the same function as gendered clothing or HRT for many individuals.

You're presupposing the conclusion you want to draw. I don't believe furry is a gender so you're not going to convince me that wearing a fur suit is gender affirming care.

My overall point is that you should speak with more furries, there's more going on there than you choose to acknowledge. Reducing it all to "fetish" is harmful and does harm the overall LGBTQ+ community.

I'm not reducing the entire furry fandom to fetish. I'm claiming that it's a fetish community. Does it have more depth than that? Yes, but that doesn't change the nature of the fandom. You could make the same claim about adult babies. They do more than just wear diapers. That doesn't change the fact that it's inherently a fetish community.

Questioning and invalidating another's gender or sexuality identity sets the precedent and framework for yours to be questioned and invalidated in turn.

I'm not questioning anyone's gender or sexuality, so I'm not worried about that happening.

This has been a long conversation. It's been getting less focused and more repetitive, so I'm going to call it here. I hope you have a good day.
