Places like:

http://www.sonicshack.com/
will let you design your own t-shirt. Then you can decide how furry you want them to be, depending on how... 'courageous' you are.

For the explanation, i wouldnt bother,  at all. I wouldn't bother explaining any of it.  Let them find out for themselves, this allows you to save tons of time instead of explaining to everyone,  all the time. Also,  learn to not care about what people think,  stop caring about their opinions because you have a general idea about what they think. Stop wasting your time with this,  it's generall unnecessary and it raises more questions than answers.

For wearing furry stuff, a good reply to the "why do you wear *insert furry item here*" is "why not? "now ask them why cant you wear whatever it is or why you cant be a furry. Point out that it's not illegal,  etc.

most people already have a preconceived notion of furs, which is why we explain in the first place. i'd rather be the one to tell them rather than them reading some bullshit that they get from hate sites and other urban myth bullshit or watch CSI for some shit that smears the reputation of furs.

Well i do agree with that. I wouldn't want them to think im some messed up sex addict,  etc. Well they would either leave it at that or find out more,  that's when it could get bad. What is also difficult is to explain it to people that know what it is but only the negatives or the misconceptions. I woul generally stop there because it's like talking to a brick wall to them.

the normal person would just find and believe the first thing they can find and just leave it at that for something that they most likely have no intention of making their own lifestyle. that attitude of yours would just make a more negative impact on people's view of furries rather than positive.
