I think I’m going to risk insulting someone now. I can’t decide whether I should know better.
Anyway, hermaphroditism is an odd kink in the modern furry fandom– where by “modern,” I mean “early-21st-century online real-world.” That’s a pretty sufficient explanation for why someone, Daisy in this instance, might have mentioned it.
As to why the kink is there, I suspect it’s a male-intituted proxy for lesbianism.
Admin: Yes, it probably is an odd kink for any fandom, but it seems to be particularly prominent in the furry fandom. I really can’t think of a single other community that has so many people that are into hermaphrodites, with the exception of any communities out there dedicated to herms. Its kind of interesting. Then again, the furry community seems to be one of the great meeting points for all kinds of kinks (alliteration is amusing!). I’d guess that that is because people who are into a particular fetish tend to discuss it only in communities dedicated to fetishes, and I can’t think of any community as open to general kinks and fetishes as the furry community. This may be because “furry”, in itself, can be considered a fetish.
I think another factor is that furries are already reinventing themselves. That is, in the case of “fursonas” which are pretty much the base of the furry community. It is a phenomena rooted in the broadening of the human condition. Sex seems like the next logical boundary to test.
personally i partially agree with riza and partially agree abeo it depends on the build of the person in question really muscle-bounds(the ones who are around the size of the pro wrestler big show when it comes to muscle) are very ugly, though if they look like chicks chances are they would pass as chicks

Daisy has a very odd baseline for things, doesn’t she?
Cat: “On a scale from 1 to ‘Getting Turned into a Bowl of Petunias’…”
Cy: I’m pretty sure it’s an odd kink for just about any ol’ fandom. Either way, the Greeks started it.
