Apparently my kid told my partner she wants a tail.

Like a fursuit tail.

She's in 5th grade and just had a meltdown about how many people at school think she's weird. But she's going to end up wearing a tail to school and I don't think there's much I can do to stop this.

So, my furry friends, got any good patterns for clip on tails?

@julie

Boosted for visibility (I wish I knew good patterns!), but if your kid's going from 'everybody thinks I'm weird' to 'fine, I guess I'll wear a tail,' she's got better coping skills than I had for most of my youth!

I'm so torn because I'm afraid it's a bad idea to draw any more attention to herself than she already has on her for just existing while trans... but I also want to support her in expressing herself and embracing her weirdness.

I swear if this kid ends up with a fursuit before I do I'm going to set something on fire.

@julie @theogrin loads of kids are wearing furry ear headphones and hats right now. Animé cutesie is in. It might not be that weird.

Now that you mention it, there's a kid at her school who wears a cat ear headband every day. She seems well-liked, too.
