Tranny

My comment is that their are nuances to using the term tranny, much as there are nuances to using the term queer. ❋ Unknown (2009)

And, my problem isn't that some LGBT media and reporters use the term tranny, but that they don't comprehend the nuances of when -- and how -- to use the term. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Well, let's redirect our attention to the term tranny, keeping in mind the nuances of how LGBT people and LGBT media use queer in mind. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Since I've seen two examples of LGBT media using the term tranny in a defamatory manner in the past week, and the defenses of the using the term tranny based on the reclaiming of the word by the LGBT community, I believe I need to explain the nuances in ways LGBT new and legacy media can understand. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Those LGBT media types who insist it's their right to use the term tranny in their written product -- when they know that the term has been identified in LGBT stylebooks as defamatory and offensive -- Well, they are very much insisting on a personal right to use the language of LGBT bigotry when referring to others who are not in their subcommunity of the broader LGBT community. by: you @ soon ❋ Unknown (2009)

(LGBT) reporters, LGBT editors, and LGBT new and legacy media organizations using the term tranny, but in the name of "reclaiming" the term for the LGBT community, the nuance is often lost. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I have heard trans and gay people use the term tranny in the way that we use dyke or fag sometimes - in that somehow it's okay for us and not okay for other people to use. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I would prefer that LGBT media use alternatives to tranny (for example: transgender people, trans people or transpeople) when describing groups of trans people, but there are times when the term tranny may be the most appropriate term because of the self-identification of an individual or a particular group. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Truly sorry for saying the word 'tranny' on Live this week. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Neil Patrick Harris apologized Friday for using the word "tranny" during Thursday's Live With Kelly. ❋ Unknown (2011)

For someone like RuPaul who does not actually live a transgender life but only engages in transgender expression as a way to make money, his response to Signorile's asking what he thought of Lance Bass apologizing for using the word "tranny" was a testament to his ignorance of and utter detachment from the lives most trans people live: ❋ Rebecca Juro (2012)

And no one has ever said the word "tranny" in a derogatory sense. ❋ Rebecca Juro (2012)

Savage went on to note: "I never said the word 'tranny' at UCI at all; indeed, I've made a conscious effort to stop using 'tranny' after the memo went out last year declaring the word an off-limits 'hate term.'" ❋ The Huffington Post News Editors (2011)

If one wouldn't call people by the n-word, the c-word, queer or faggot when asked to stop using terms like these, why would one who isn't trans-identified demand to right to reclaim the term tranny on behalf of the significant number of trans people who find the term offensive and defamatory? ❋ Unknown (2009)
