Thank you! I will do my best. I agree with your caution, especially considering previous cases.

Fortunately, I did graduate work and a BA in philosophy, so I think I'll be able to give a fair presentation if forced to explain. I have the training to debate fiercely if needed.

I'm actually writing a book on therians, anthrozoology and philosophy of mind. From one standpoint, I think that the breaking down of barriers between human and animal/human and other may be one of the most important philosophical ideas to arise. The furry community does this too.

There is very little literature on it, but more is being written every day:

Here is a good book on the history of elves, dragons, and vampires. It goes way back and is quite scholarly.
