Trans Raccoon
A specific identity within the trans-species spectrum, referring to a human or other animal who identifies as a raccoon.
The term "trans raccoon" was coined by DuskTheRaccoon in the mid-2020s after no longer identifying as human. While trans raccoons are known to walk on two legs and use a PC, they may also live in tree hollows in forests, or in suburbs near parks and schools. Some trans raccoons live in city dumpsters and travel like vagabonds.
Trans raccoons are legally protected as people despite not being 100% human, though they are still occasionally harassed by bigoted ZERFS.

ZERF
Zoo Exclusionary Reactionary Furries (ZERFs) refers to individuals within the furry community who harbor bigoted and exclusionary views, akin to TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists), directed at others. Specifically, they target zoosromantics in an effort to gatekeep the queer and furry communities, thereby marginalizing and ostracizing innocent queer individuals from participating in spaces.
