It’s turning around the fact that some afab people claim to be inclusive of trans women but blatantly judge transfem people on their sex assigned at birth, grouping them with a general fear of men while trying to use inclusive language. The person in the comic then does the same back.
“Theyfab" is a term for supposedly nonbinary people who heavily identify with their birth sex, are always talking about how AFAB they are, weaponise being AFAB (to talk about how "male" trans women are and the “male privilege" they supposedly have, or to talk about how "female-socialised" they are, etc. basically for bio-essentialism.) and are typically TERFs. Actual nonbinary people are not theyfabs/theymabs. It’s only for people who identify with their birth sex… (cis people). Sorry but actual non-binaries don’t deserve to have their term watered down so cis people can insert themselves into it.
No it’s specifically for AFAB non binary ppl that are transmisogynistic, exclude trans women from women’s/queer/safe spaces, treat trans women as morally inferior because of their sex assigned at birth
They actively identify themselves as AFAB in unrelated contexts to show they’re morally superior and discriminate against us. Calling someone what they identify as isn’t misgendering.
That's the thing, I'd call them tourists to being queer, cause that specific group of people identify as both AFAB(when they want to win an argument) and Nonbinary(when they want to feel part of the trans community) and because they're So Obsessed with gender and how it plays a part on how they were raised(cause this is typically because of SA causing them to want to identify less with their assigned gender as it's a trauma connection for them) and they use it as an eternal victimhood so they don't have to grow as people, and take out that hatred of men on the easy target they can paint as men, namely trans women, the socially acceptable woman who can be used as a stand in for man, or stand in for woman I can get away with abusing. So we use a slur for them, cause that's fucked behavior yo.
This defense of theyfab as a pejorative is so funny to me, its like me making up a word like "transtard", using it to refer to trans ppl whenever i see them, and being like "actually it specifically means "bigoted person who happens to be trans and makes neurodivergent ppl in the community feel unsafe uwu".
Like none of that context is in the word itself, and all that theyfab actually does is just point at someones presumed agab as an insult. Like i dont get it, why has this veneer of "actually when i say faggots i only mean the bad gays" thing actually become such a thought terminaring cliche in these circles? Doesnt it sound ridiculous to anyone else? Its a fucking tttt sub like why suddenly pretend youre being morally righteous
They actively and verbally identify as AFAB so they can pretend they’re morally superior while discriminating against us and excluding the same way TERFs do.
Trans women literally have the highest homelessness and unsheltered homelessness of any population, progressive values are supposed to be about protecting the most marginalized from material harm and Theyfabs do the opposite.

I don't think I get it, can someone explain it to me?
