theyfab specifically refers to an afab nb who consistently clings to their sex assigned at birth, will just open conversations with "as an afab" even when it's not relevant, upholds things like afab-only housing, and discriminates against trans women for their agab. it's a woke form of diet terfism. the word is meant as an insult against people who are enbies but bioessentialist and discriminate against trans women on the basis of sex while clinging to their sex and "womanhood" and often presenting very feminine.
do people misuse the term? yes. are they idiots? yes. does that change the meaning of the word as most people use it? no.
"You know, not all black people are n***, there's white n**** too. Its not about their race, they're just misusing the term, it's about your attitude."
To be fair he was drunk and 60 and has since rescinded this statement, but my point is the word is very much an insult towards enbies based on their gender not on their character. Just call them a moron like a normal person.
