Tranny is an offensive and derogatory slur for a transgender individual,[1] often specifically a transgender woman.[2]
During the early 2000s, there was some confusion and debate over whether the term was considered as a slur, was considered acceptable, or a reappropriated term of unity and pride, but by 2017, the term had been banned by several major media stylebooks and was considered hate speech by Facebook.[3][4]
