A term used to mock girls who identify as non binary without changing their gender presentation at all.
They tend to be incredibly vocal about how they are LGBT, and consider anyone who doesn't use they/them a transphobe, even if they are obviously a female.
These are the type of girls to say "I'm bisexuality but I only date men"

Get the Theyfab mug.A derogatory term for a non-binary person who uses the fact that they were assigned female at birth to talk over trans women, while positioning themself as being the “safe” and good kind of queer person.
I can’t believe the organizing committee for this year’s TDOR event is all theyfabs. You just know that half of the trans women who’s names get read would have been kicked out by them for being “problematic.”

Get the theyfab mug.Someone who is a "theyfab" is trans person who is not transitioning medically and afab (assigned female at birth) and who goes by the pronouns they / them. The origin of the word is a portmanteau afab / they - theyfab. The word originated as a way to criticize women who call themselves trans for the social clout on websites like tumblr. The so called theyfab assume this identity because it's useful as a shield and a hammer to bludgeon other kinds of queer people who are more visible and vulnerable than them and will use their identity to acquire as many privileges at as little cost as possible. This word is widely considered offensive but only by other theyfabs. Notable theyfabs include Ana Mardoll, Aiden Hale and a million obese smol beans named Greyson.
Person one: "Hey did you know that if you put they/them pronouns on your women's college application you can get scholarships for it?"
Person two *overhearing*: "Theyfabs, theyfabs, theyfabs."

Get the theyfab mug.A portmanteau of the words "they" and "AFAB". Used as a derogatory term, mainly in online circles, to refer to nonbinary people who were (or are assumed by the user to be) assigned female at birth. Frequently used in conjunction with implications of "not *really* being transgender", "using their label to talk over others", etc.
A nonbinary person may be called a theyfab for using neopronouns, having a non-typical name (such as Moss or Arson), being a teenager, talking about transphobia or discrimination they've experienced, not experiencing dysphoria, not planning on medically transitioning, or simply just existing visibly, among other reasons.

Person A: There are so many nonbinary people online now.
Person B: Ugh, all of those theyfabs are taking over our community.

Get the theyfab mug.Theyfabs are scene girl revivalists who want a t-slur pass; transmisogynists but woke, a theyfab will use their proximity to their birth gender to police trans women while simultaneously claiming to have a trans feminine gender. Typically middle class a theyfab will use neoliberal validity ideology to place themselves at the forefront of trans liberation while simultaneously doing all the things that terfs accuse trans women of while, also, simultaneously acting like a terf. They do not physically or socially transition but still claim to be trans because they love saying slurs. They will typically mix up trans identities that are mutually exclusive while saying some of the most deeply transphobic shit you've ever heard.
theyfab: I just came back from the women's retreat that was being held at the women's college I attend where nobody knows that I use they/them pronouns and I just kicked out my trans woman roommate because they just ruined the saphic nonbinary afab viiiiiiiiiibes!
trans woman overhearing this: theyfabs, theyfabs theyfabs.
