I seen discourse that “tranny” is a word only used by trans women and trans men who say it are transmisogynistic. Am i the only one who thanks tranny can be used for both trans men and women?

Like the word is just a slur for being trans. It isn’t a slur tied down to being a trans woman specifically. i never saw it be used soley for trans women and saw trans men be called it too. And it seems weird to me that if a trans guy calls himself a tranny that is bad? Like it is just a descriptor of calling yourself trans.

Like if a trans guy calls a trans woman a tranny that is a diff story, but saying the word itself is transmisogynistic is just silly to me. Imo even calling a trans woman a tranny isn’t misogynistic when the person doing it is trans but also i am self-deprecating and the slur holds no water to me. It’s just slang for being trans for me at this point. So if you called a a non-4tran trans woman tranny then yeah that isn’t a good move as she isn’t accustomed to the slur.

Anyway ramble over

    Tranny was created by chuds who don’t consider AFABs to have free will and intelligence so for them it meant a trans woman only and they didn’t even have a slur for ftms

    Then we reclaimed it and started using it on ftms too because they’re also trans

    I think it’s better for us to use tranny on both ftms and mtfs. You don’t want to be like chuds, do you?

    Maybe you mentioned it in your post idk I didn’t read it cuz I’m lazy😝
