'Tranny' will get you tarred and feathered in the current political climate. Everybody's real mad at RuPaul and Dan Savage for not knowing this either. Blame tumblr.

If we were to go by tumblr standards it would specifically have to be "trans*" which is pretty loving gay

for the same reason that 'whitey' is a slur lowtax
well I always thought "tranny" was just an abbreviated way of saying "transsexual," since it's shorter and I didn't know adding a "-y" to things automatically made it a slur, so I plead ignorance

Not like this matters, you're going to offend a tranny somewhere no matter how well you try to be accommodating. Go balls out and call them shemales.

its dehumanizing to be referred to as a 'transgender', you should always say 'transgendered person

otherwise your just being ignorant

Its too informal and easy. A confusing seven word term for your gender is the only way to be taken seriously

Isn;t the etymology of the phrase that trans* goons would call themselves that but the more progressive goons told them that was problematic or something and then it just morphed into an insult over time? Or was it just always an insult? I'm actually being serious as I'm just curious.
