I think that if you unironically say "theyfabs", you Are being transphobic and misogynistic, whether you think you are or not, whether you think "theyfab" is a slur or not, whether you want to believe that it's totally fine to say and it was coined to call out transmisogyny, I frankly do not care and I think you are really fucking weird if you wanna say "theyfab" so badly. Like that is just fucking weird to me and it's even weirder if you wanna say it so badly that you feel the need to defend it to be able to say it. No matter how you put it, I cannot see or think of any acceptable reason to say "theyfab", it does not matter "why" it was coined, it doesn't even matter if it IS a slur or not and it doesn't matter if it's ""used to call out transmisogyny"", I simply do not care, it is a fucking weird ass thing to say, you DO sound exactly like transphobes when you use it, you sound exactly like transmedicalists making fun of "transtrenders" and, well, gee, I wonder why that is. And btw you are capable of calling out transmisognists and transmisogyny without calling people fucking "theyfabs" be fucking for real.
