Except didn't we have a conversation in general comments a few weeks ago where people wanted an explanation for why "tranny" was offensive? As in, it's not necessarily common knowledge. As far as slurs go, that one gets way less publicity than others, so I wouldn't say someone using it is automatically a douchebag.

[(Anonymous)]

Tranny's use tranny all the time, I never knew it was offensive till I came to F!S. Maybe it's different in different areas of the country(US)?

[(Anonymous)]

A trans* man or woman can use whatever word they want to describe themselves, that's their right. I love RDJ, but it's never okay for a cis person to use that word. Ever.

Aside from that, he's brilliant.

[(Anonymous)]

If your only exposure to the word is people using it to describe themselves, you're probably going to assume it's acceptable.

[(Anonymous)]

My most-recent exposure to the word was the non-trans friends of trans folks using it in their presence to talk about them, and them being perfectly fine with it.

Last year.

So.

Uh.

Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

(Agreeing:) The way to recognise someone is an asshole is not that they did something an asshole would do, it is that they react like an asshole when someone points out to them what they're doing.

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't he in his late 40s? Not saying that makes up for it, but he probably wasn't aware that it was offensive because it's been used as a blanket term for transexuals and crossdressers. Hell, I didn't know it was offensive until a few months ago, and I learned that from Tumblr.

[(Anonymous)]

Tumblr thinks everything is offensive.

There is a movement now that because "gay" has picked up the negative meaning (ie, "it's so gay that it rained on my birthday") that the word itself is now 100% offensive, all the time.

A lot of times, the very attempt to change the word is offensive. As a lesbian woman, I find the idea of removing "gay" from the vernacular because of it's partial use as a disparaging adjective to be an idea that would mean removing a large part of my identity.

I have no idea how trans* folks feel about tranny, but tumblr can be full of simpering fools who just want to feel Important.
