I've found that a good way to check for actual tolerance in a group is how they treat their furries.
Also, the furries make the internet work. plz. I need the furry hacking power in the world.

Probably some trans people disliking furries. It's like how some lesbians don't like trans-women because they're not "real women".
hmmm, but isn't this different even to that?
FARTs (feminism appropriating radical transphobes) use mental gymnastics to deny trans women their "womanhood".
These mental gymnastics seem (from my pov) pretty "basic" when compared to the hoops you'd have to jump through to deny trans people their "transness" with the goal of excluding them simply bc they are also furries.
And more generally "just" excluding furries from trans (or queer) spaces (f.e. for their supposed "indecency") makes as much sense as "banning" the kink & BDSM communities from pride, ie. NONE at all
(not comparing the two in terms of nature/"content" but rather significance/impact)
Fart = Terf?
a more fitting acronym, yes
It's the "othering" that I think is being talked about, not sexual preference. You're right that being a furry is not a sexual preference (though I know there's a ton of porn related to it).
... Okay?
