Upon detection of a non-android body within the range of his visual scanners, an android may sound the alarm, whereupon the intruder will be instantly vaporized by alarm-response androids. As such, it is recommended that if a non-android wishes to "learn the ways" of the android, that he or she must follow the following directions: Step 1: Crouch outside of the range of the android's visual scanner. Step 2: Sidle up to the android in question, being sure not to look it in the eye. Step 3: If the android does not detect an intruder, commence learning the ways of the android.

A male-identified woman is an individual who will throw other women in front of a moving train to appease the problematic males she surrounds herself with, giving these men her undying support at the detriment of other women's expenses. She will fight tooth and nail to defend their mental and physical abuse against women, ignoring the severity of the situation. She will continue to coddle them as if they're babies that need breastfeeding. She'll vouch for their incompetence by making excuses for them over-identifying with men, to the point where she refuses to admit that she views an attack on men as an attack on her. Women who decide to associate with male-identified women are the types to say, What did you do for him to react the way he did? You shouldn't be raising your voice; you should've stayed quiet. It's your fault for talking back to him; no wonder he beat you. As if speaking your truth gives him the right to put his hands on you, it doesn't. These are the types of women to stay away from; any woman who aligns herself with male patriarchy, knowing how it affects all women, is a danger to every woman. Urban Dictionary

A Trans-Identified Male, or TIM, is an unfavourable term used to describe transgender people who were assigned male at birth (AMAB) but don't identify as male: such as trans women.

Trans Identified female is a slur commonly used by the terf to invalidate trans boys or trans men. The short version of this word is TIF what is also short for the girl's name Tiffany. Transgender people who are born female and haven't medically transitioned obviously are biologically female but there is no need to point that out in such a disrespectful way as you do when you call someone a tif. Obviously this is a mockery of trans people so when you hear someone refer to an afab trans person please correct them to trans boy or non binary person and explain why it is harmful if they don't know.
