#theyfab is a slur

[whereserpentswalk]

of course you dontt like it when people are rightfully horny over fat bodies I know u used to be fat and arent anymore lol 😆

you used to be a beautiful chubby trans sub and now your just another skinny theyfab of course your ashamed you fell so far

Oh! Looks like my anti chaser post struck a nerve with chaser community.

First off: your idea of being rightfully horny is a great example of the "I'm a hero for wanting to fuck these people because most of society finds them gross" mentality chasers have that I talked about. The term "fat bodies" instead of "fat people" really shows whether or not you consider the people you're attracted to to be humans.

Secondly: I started losing weight at eighteen. So the version of me you're lusting over was underage. Also I was never a sub.

Thirdly: theyfab is a slur. Like it's just straight up a slur that 4chan made up. And the entire way you talk about me as a nonbinary person is gross and dehumanizing. Also I have never stated my agab and I do not intend to here.

Fourthly: this entire thing reeks of you being mad that someone who used to have a body you find attractive doesn't anymore. It's just your personal version of "Don't transition you're so sexy". You feel entitled to trans bodies, to fat bodies, to bodies you see as female, you feel ownership twords them, and feel as if they have a duty to be attractive to you.

Fifthly: Your idea that bodies that you find attractive are somehow inherently attractive, and that people have a moral duty to be attracted to them, and to make their bodies fit that mold, is the exact opposite of body positivity. You don't want to get rid of the boot, you want to be the one with the boot.

Sixthly: my "The body positive community has fallen into dehumanizing chaser rhetoric" post is bringing up a lot of questions answered by my post.

I may very well be swinging a bat at a hornet's nest, but I find it very interesting that the crowd that (rightfully) says "Read another book" to Harry Potter fans among the J.K. Rowling bullshit has a not-insignificant overlap with the crowd that has also only read one book (and that book is Whipping Girl).

trying to do actual research into this shinigami eyes debacle is annoying as hell, because i don’t doubt that it actually has issues— it’s community-run for fucks sake it’s gonna be biased and full of community infighting— but whenever i try to find actual proof all that i’m seeing is people being weirdly transmisogynistic. and then it’s hard for me to take their complaints about being marked red seriously.

There's something about being misgendered by other trans people that really makes a guy feel special 😍

[touhouweed]

I fucking love it I fucking love it, people that use theyfab just cannot help being transmisogynistic first chance they get

[rjalker]

Pro tip: if you don't want trans people reclaiming the slurs you literally made up, or stole from fucking 4channers to misgender and oppress them, simply do not fucking call people brand new slurs invented specifically to denigrate them! It's literally not difficult! You don't get to fucking call people slurs invented just for them and then get mad when they reclaim them!

When will truscum and TIRFs learn to stop being bigots.

[ID: A Three panel MS Paint comic, titled, "Reclaiming slurs: 'theyfab'", dated "September 9th 2023". Panel 1 shows a group of three grey figures grinning with evil eyebrows, labled, "bigoted trans people and their transmisic cis friends". They are all shouting together: "Hahaha!! Theyfab!!! You're a pathetic theyfab!!! Just a pathetic woman pretending to be trans for attention!! Theyfab!!! Theyfab!! You think you're oppressed for having a p***y!!! Theyfab!!!" The person they are pointing and laughing at has sad eyebrows and a small frown, and is labeled, "a trans man or nonbinary person who wants equal rights, probably doesn't even use they/them pronouns". The second panel shows the victim throwing their hands into the air, shouting back, "Okay, yeah, I'm a theyfab, and I'm proud to be trans! You got a fucking problem with that?" while the crows of bigots stares in silence. The third panel shows the bigots now colored red, throwing their arms into the air and screaming in all caps: "You disgusting transmisogynist special snowflake!! You can't reclaim the slur we made up to call you!!!!! We're the only ones allowed to call you slurs!!! Stop reclaiming the slurs we call you you fucking faker!!!! You're supposed to cry about it not reclam the slur we literally invented for you!!!! Special snowflake!!! Transmisogynist!! Why aren't you crying?!? Stop being proud of being trans!!!!! You make the real trans people look bad!!!!" The victim mutters, with one hand on their hip and eyebrow raised, "Oh, you're not even being subtle anymore, are you?" Large text at the bottom of the comic reads: "Pro tip if you want to have morals: If you don't want trans people reclaiming slurs used against them, simply do not invent brand new fucking transmisic, exorsexist slurs. It's literally not difficult." End ID.]

Another pro tip: if the people who call you the slur get enraged by you reclaiming it, that means reclaiming it is working. Keep up the good fucking work.

[juney-blues]

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

Do you think cisbian is a slur too

[walltowalltitties]

"TME"

just call me a slur at this point

[transfemgorgug]

you are men and men are part of the oppressor class, thereby benefiting from privilege regardless of whether or not you want to or acknowledge it

[musculargarbageman]

Retard

4channer Trans Women Please Log Off Challenge, you're making everyone uncomfortable. we get that you used 4chan pre-transition and feel community with them, but it's essentially an unhealthy echo chamber that's making your self-hatred and dysphoria worse. just because you think every other place is a hugbox doesn't mean everyone who's polite is lying and hates you.

[rooboy]

as everyone knows, your identity is subversive and counterculture just as long as you think so, and you shouldn't have to put in any extra effort to really ascertain those notions, and it's completely fine to never unpack your internalized disdain/disgust/superiority complex with trans people who have undergone medical changes. By never physically transitioning but still insisting you're creating some new phenotype of gender expression by having weirdly expensive and tacky pride merch from target you have managed to become the most obnoxious and spineless motherfuckers who lean into the notion that being transgender is just a matter of merchandising and angling and not a real thing people get murdered/unhoused/abused for.

i mean i can totally see how the last thing the demographics in question would want is terminology that references people’s assigned gender, but it’s still kinda weird that we call it transmisogyny and transmisandry* when from where i’m sitting it definitely feels like transmisandry is an outgrowing of misogyny and transmisogyny has a lot to do with misandry.

*i mean not that we do i think ‘we’ (broader sense) mostly just pretend this is not a thing. i mean how else would ‘TME’ as an acronym make sense instead of being terminally ambiguous.

[sniffanimal]

Any use of pronouns as shorthand for a certain gender is annoying and reductive regardless of how gender-non-conforming the comment is or not

[ameraucanas]

Okay so i looked up what theyfab was and how is there a slur for that i cant believe we r getting that specific
