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)
