Wikipedia
Tranny (or trannies) may refer to:
Tranny is a slang term used chiefly to describe people who are transgender, transsexual, wearing drag, transvestites, or cross-dressers. The term is considered a slur by some transgender activists, such as Roz Kaveney. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) state that the term is "usually considered offensive and/or defamatory" by members of the transgender community. The trans and drag performer community is believed to have originated the term, and many members of the gay community feel the word is a term of endearment.
According to Kate Bornstein, a popular and controversial trans writer and performer, the word originated in Sydney, Australia, and was intended to unite trans people and drag queens under an umbrella term. However, this view has been widely rejected by trans advocates.
