I'd like to, not out of pressure, but out of genuine feeling, apologize for my use of the word "trannies" today. I'd especially like to apologize to Workhorse and ilov80s, whose families are affected by these terms and proper usages. When I was being raised and had exposure to the word, it was an inoffensive word, often used by the group of people self-designated that way, to express a description of a condition today referred to as "transgendered." "Tranny," the singular diminutive, has recently been called offensive by GLAAD and other groups, along with publications like HuffPost. While I'd like to raise a large disagreement with the word and its new perception vis a vis its origins, what I really want to do is just apologize to any person or friend who is affected by the condition and do my best to understand, yet not kowtow politically, to concerns of equality and dignity.
I think we all want to be equal and feel dignity. That is what I aim for. I won't use the word that demeans in modern parlance in the future. Best and cheers to all.
