Change "78–85% of furries identify as male, the remaining identify as female; while most are cisgender, 2% are transgender.: 10" to: "67.1% of furries identified themselves as male on the surveys, while 23.3% identified as female. While only 2% of furries identified themselves as transgender, 10.0% of furries identified themselves as genderqueer/non-binary.: 10-11" TransDragonLira (talk) 20:50, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

The previous line of text ("78–85% of furries ... 2% are transgender.: 10") cited the source https://www.furscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fur-Science-Final-pdf-for-Website_2017_10_18.pdf , but the percentages differed from the source. The source cited had both sex and gender percentages measured, but I suggested only the gender percentages as these are more relevant to the average reader.

(PS: on furscience's website, there is more recent data about the gender percentages in the furry fandom on https://furscience.com/research-findings/demographics/1-3-sex-and-gender/ . However, because this data isn't officially published by the IARP yet, I wasn't sure wether it is appropriate to already use this data when the rest of the categories can't be updated yet.)

Change "While only 2% of furries identified themselves as transgender, 10.0% of furries identified themselves as genderqueer/non-binary.: 10-11." to "While only 2% of furries identified themselves as transgender, 10.0% of furries identified themselves as genderqueer/non-binary."

I made a mistake in my previous edit request and accidentally added the reference as the text ": 10-11" without actually updating the actual reference from "" to "". I'm sorry for the inconveniece. TransDragonLira (talk) 08:26, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:24, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

A small subset of furries (~10%), called “therians,” believe they are spiritually connected to animals, are less than (or more than) 100% human, are an animal trapped in a human body, or were an animal in a former life. Otherkin, like therians, feel spiritually connected to non-human species, but the species extend to mystical species, e.g., dragons, griffons, and minotaurs. this Ausername4269 (talk) 14:13, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Not without a cited source. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:17, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

There's already an article on therians. And as AndyTheGrump says, we cannot tie this to the furry fandom without reliable sources. — The Hand That Feeds You: 15:34, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

https://furscience.com/whats-a-furry/ tht is the source and i want to add some types from what i know 82.79.160.214 (talk) 13:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

That is not going to fit our reliable sources rule. — The Hand That Feeds You: 01:04, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 2 October 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Furry fandom. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
