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
Thanks for agreeing
Also agree in a sense. Transmisogyny at the end of the day is just misogyny. Same with transmisandry. We just put the trans label to separate trans women with cis women and trans men with cis men. Though i will say trans women face unique issues stemming from her tranness that cis women don’t, which a label like transmisogyny can help in.
transmisogyny and transmisandry both are like in-community terms, like when a tranny does it to another tranny, you feel me?
