and see, I can't believe you're actually comparing the two words
that you're actually saying tranny is as hateful as the n-word
I mean, I realize that it apparently is to you
and I can't change your experience, but I definitely haven't seen that
I'm just disappointed that some people that I thought knew me better than that either don't or that they're completely willing to ignore who I am and just focus on the word I used
You've never seen it ever? Really?
I've seen bro used as hate speech. So are we going to get all bent out of shape whenever someone calls someone a bro? My point was simply that I haven't seen tranny used primarily as hate speech and so I was somewhat surprised that people assumed that's how I intended it based on my history here. Obviously I was wrong. Obviously people do think I'm capable of being that bigoted. Oh well.
I don't think anybody thinks you were intending to say something bigoted. You got as a response. That's not like a huge condemnation of character or anything. Bro isn't primarily a pejorative. Tranny is. It's just an fyi.
The only time I can really think of that I see people use the term tranny, is news/tabloids who are actually talking about crossdressers, and usually prostitutes involved with celebrities

yeah same here.
Well, 99% of what tabloids publish is hate speech anyway.

Pretty much or just as a shortened version of the real word.
I'm curious anyone got an article on the history of the word?

Magnus Hirschfeld coined the term "Transvestite". He described what is now called transvestic fetishism as well as transsexualism.[8] In 1930, he supervised the first genital reassignment surgery to be reported in detail in a peer-reviewed journal on Lili Elbe of Denmark. The German term “Transsexualismus” was introduced by Hirschfeld in 1923.[9] The neo-Latin term “psychopathia transexualis” and English “transexual” (sic) were introduced by D. O. Cauldwell in 1949,[10] who subsequently also used the term “trans-sexual” in 1950.[11] Cauldwell appears to be the first to use the term in direct reference to those who desired a change of physiological sex.[12] (In 1969, Benjamin claimed to have been the first to use the term “transsexual” in a public lecture, which he gave in December 1953.[13]) This term continues to be used by the public and medical profession alike.[8] It was included for the first time in the DSM-III in 1980 and again in the DSM-III-R in 1987, where it was located under Disorders Usually First Evident in Infancy, Childhood or Adolescence.
My dad wanted to donate his body to science after he died, but apparently there was an enormously long waiting list at the university he applied to, it made him decide not to.

I know that a lot of you will think less of me because of that (assuming you don't already think I'm an idiot).
I don't really mean anything by it though other than "dumb"
I won't call something gay on these forums though. Cause clearly that would send the wrong message to people.
yeah same here.

It's me, I am commander Shepard.
EDIT: Actually I am so fat I am surprised I don't already have satellites.
I figured
Yeah, the stick part is easy. The clutch, though, is annoying as hell.
But damn it I have seen medical procedure shows I know it would just get prodded at by a bunch of students.
If I give my brain to science I want them to use it for somthing good, like developing brain powered spaceships or something awesome like that.
