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.

I think one of the hardest things to overcome for me is that I don't have to "get it". As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, who cares? Even if it "makes you uncomfortable", there are so many situations that might have made you uncomfortable the first time you experienced them - did all of those uncomfortable situations result in something terrible? If not, then we should embrace being uncomfortable as a transitional period that could end in something really cool!

People get built different. We don't have to figure it out, we just have to respect it.
