That is the place where you find the common thread between those ideas that have been the most resistant to this effect, and strengthen that common thread.
As far as mental health, I would suggest time-discipline, strict screen-breaks, limits on how much time is spent on any individual activity.

This is an emotionally complicated topic for many people.
In a way, my parents make my life simple. They think my being transgender is a malicious attempt to embarrass them, so I shut my heart to them.
For others, it's not so simple.
People should come out when they are ready. I am glad you were.

I tend to have the belief that knowledge is good, regardless of whether it results in destigmatization or not.
If I am a member of any group, then if acting out my feelings does not cause harm, then I deserve to know. If it does cause harm, it is my responsibility to know.

I will say that I ended up pursuing darker subject matter through non-sexual fantasy, though.
In the series, The Realm of the Elderlings, by Robin Hobb, the dragons practice ritual cannabilism, for example.

I would not call myself perfectly asexual. I habitually engage in behavior that results in my partners wanting to escalate. It's not like I don't know what they are going to do. I just consider it a fair exchange: I get petted on and fussed over like a princess, and they get to do what they like.

I believe that more research is needed on many of these widely stigmatized groups. Most people seem to go straight from not knowing anything about a group to violently hating them.

Like I said earlier, I have lost almost all interest in erotic digital content. Even with my human lovers, I am not really motivated, for my own sake, to go beyond snuggling and petting.
Therefore, I am ready to admit that I am outside my wheelhouse.

Ah, I remember that study! I ran across that while I was trying to explain why I believed some MAPs might be candidates for rehabilitation. That kind of blew up in my face, though.
Some people think you're a villain if you don't want to kill the same people they do. Go figure.

I am not sure that I agree with a prohibitionist point-of-view, to be honest.
I tend to see it from a health perspective. I think that positive content tends to better support positive emotional health.
Banning something can sometimes paradoxically inflame people's interest in it, though.

I can admit that I am speaking outside my area of knowledge, in regard to pornography. I lost interest in erotic digital content a long time ago. I only hang out with zoos for the community, to be honest.
Therefore, I can go as far as admitting I may be a less than perfectly informed opinion.

Occasional detransitioners are actually a good reason to put more money into studying transgender people, so pediatricians and other doctors can work to make sure there are better outcomes. As a transgender person, myself, it is very important to me that energy is being invested in getting it right.

I am fine with most feral stuff, just as long as the non-human is not obviously underage or being forced.
However, while it doesn't affect everybody, the evidence says that some people should definitely avoid violent fantasies.
I'm not generalizing, though.

In the zoo community, we are actually a lot more strict when it comes to fantasy fetishes. We are actually against violence or force being promoted even in "fantasy" contexts. The problem is that the fantasy can normalize the behavior.

Does it bother you that I have made utter mincemeat out of your own hateful apologetics?

It's idiotic to assume that an animal understands the concept of species sufficiently for them to even care. Animals are simple-minded. They know what feels good and what doesn't. They only understand sophisticated emotions like trust at the most basic hormonal level.

Ironically, the only reason I ever took an interest in the zoo community was because of random furries proudly telling the world how much they hated members of this group.
Before that, zoo was a half-forgotten experience from a confusing adolescence.
Our community only exists because of you.

You're pestering me by filling my own environment with unnecessary hostility.
I'm not even ordinarily prurient, and I have no interest whatsoever in erotic content of any kind.
If you look at my timeline, I talk mostly about poetry, trans life, and philosophy.

I can assure you that I stay well clear of furries. I find them to be overly prurient, and I think they are more permissive toward MAPs than we are in the zoo spaces I frequent.

Zoos can have the same challenges in the management of our communities. Sometimes, we get general paraphilia enthusiasts that are genuinely confused that we don't like for them to indulge every twisted sexual fantasy they have, and it can be frustrating to establish boundaries within our spaces.
