The term "anthropomorphic" comes from a few different roots. The root "anthro" or "anthrop" means that something is relating to humans, while "morphic" is something relating to shape. Therefore, anthropomorphic means "human-shaped." It's not exclusively a furry thing but it's pretty popular within that fandom given the subject matter of human-shaped animals.
You're getting "anthropomorphic" mixed up with "anthro" (a fair mistake since they share the same word). But "anthrophobia" translates, literally, to "person fear." It's a fear of people. So someone who's anthropophobic would likely keep their distance from others out of fear (thus the trinket effect).
With all of that said, when you talk about people who are afraid of furries, the word you'd actually be looking for, though I'm unsure if it exists, is probably closer to "anthropomorphiphobia" -- a fear of human-shaped things.
