Could you point out the bigotry?
Comment on Looks like it was a ... boobie trap
ValorieAF@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI am trans and find “tranny” offensive. It’s a derogatory term.

“I know I’m offending a group of people but I don’t care”

I don’t see it. Trap being a slur is a minority opinion in the trans community.
ValorieAF@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Not as far as I’m aware. A lot of people don’t care for sure but the general consensus in the trans communities I participate in (mostly r/MtF on reddit) agrees it’s a slur and find it offensive.

Girls call themselves sluts, depends how the demographic embraces the word, my gf hates the term princess but likes it when i degrade her

That’s cool but you don’t go and call girls you don’t know sluts, and in the same vein, you don’t call trans women you don’t know traps or trannies.

Again that’s cool, but is it right to call people you don’t know sluts? I’m not sure what your point is.

and people like you are exactly why content warnings should be standard and why every site/app with user generated content should have a word filter option.
that said, your discomfort should not prohibit others from expressing themselves
