re: #299 Simply Sarah

Mainly because I’m not a huge fan of the term “tranny” to refer to transgender/transsexual people, since it is, as you say, a social slur and is intended to be derogatory.

What would I call it instead? I dunno. Genderbaiting? Offensive?

Yeah, I’ve heard all manner of views on the word, having trans friends, myself, and besides having gone to many a Trannyshack over the years. It’s not a static term. I don’t have any problem not using “trannybaiting” or starring it out if it bothers you, though.
