Reversal of stigma is a common phenomenon among minority groups. That doesn’t mean it’s okay tu use the term when you’re not part of the group.

yes and half of the trans people on tumble call themselves trannies.
the difference is the same as watching a movie with flashing lights after sitting through the epilepsy warning and getting your brain actually blasted by the day 1 cyberpunk 2077 braindance cutscene. one’s a choice, the other just happens to you.

I am trans and find “tranny” offensive. It’s a derogatory term.

and people like you are exactly why content warnings should be standard and why every site/app with user generated content should have a word filter option.
that said, your discomfort should not prohibit others from expressing themselves

Girls call themselves sluts, depends how the demographic embraces the word, my gf hates the term princess but likes it when i degrade her

That’s cool but you don’t go and call girls you don’t know sluts, and in the same vein, you don’t call trans women you don’t know traps or trannies.
