sex and gender are central to a person's identity while being a furry is not.

Sex and gender are clearly central to your identity, just as much as 'furry' is central, sometimes exclusively, to other people's identity.

it's conflating being a furry with sexual and gender identity.

Who are you to define what is or isn't a legitimate sexual or gender identity? Identity is a personal and subjective thing. For many 'furry' is a gender and/or sexual identity and to say that it isn't is no different than arguing with a trans person about theirs.

The issue isn't that you are explicitly making some call to action, it's that you are othering and implicitly calling for the persecution of other people based entirely on your personal aesthetics.

Why are heterosexuality and homosexuality not 'just part of the fetish community'?

Why are heterosexuality and homosexuality not ‘just part of the fetish community’?

because people are born with these predilections, they don't buy them off of temu.

Predilections for certain features, what makes you so certain anthropomorphism isn't one of those predilections?

We see homosexuality in the wild. Sexual coercion in animals isn't cute or cuddly. Usually non consensual and violent to the point of fatality. This is not the premise you want to pursue unless you're embracing the beastiality premise of fursonas which I've been repeatedly assured is not their thing.

None of this helps your argument.

You're miscategorizing it and anthropomorphs aren't real.

It's more closely related to objectophilia or fictosexuality which are also seen in nature.

It's to bestiality as homosexuality is to pedophilia. As in it's not related at all.
