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


Yeah to me it doesn’t even register as a slur or insult. So if a trans guy called me it I would just view it as a normal way of refering to myself
