Is 'Tranny' a deragatory term?

[CleverOne]

yes, unless they're talking about car parts

 

[fetaby]

Back with a vengeance I see.

Maybe it falls under that category where only transexuals can use it but other can't; à la f-word for gays and n-word for blacks.

 

[rareboy]

You mean Derogatory.

And no. Apparently not.

It depends on the tone in your voice.

But as a written descriptor it is pejorative.

Is 'bitch' a derogatory term?

Or 'beatch'?

 

[pocketpool]

No, in fact, the word "tranny" is also appropriate in nursery rhymes such as the following:

Jack and Jill went up the hill so Jack could get some fanny,
Jack got a shock and a mouth full of cock 'cause Jill's a fuckin' tranny.

Are we clear on this?
