i really don't get it as an afab nonbinary woman, like i saw a post where a woman was complaining about not having a partner because "only theyfabs" asked her out.

the "theyfab" slur was used a lot in tumblr trans communities as well, there was a sort of transfem supremacy movement there.

Yes; the baeddels. They popularized its usage.
