You cannot stop me from willfully mireading this as tarp.

Wait, we’re allowed to use the word “Trap” to refer to crossdressers? I knew we weren’t allowed to use it to refer to trans people (for obvious reasons), but it’s still cool to call crossdressers that? Disgaea 4’s PC release told me it wasn’t… gahh
Okay, I don’t understand the Post-Twitter landscape. Is there a book of rules I can see

If someone identifies as a trap then you can refer to them as a trap. Simple as.

From what I’ve seen you have crossdressers self identifying as trap on one side and people that are unaware that group exists and think trap is exclusively a derogatory term for trans ppl (or think enjoying crossdressing MUST mean you’re trans) on the other.
It’s a whole mess as any offensive language tends to be, because words rarely ever only have one meaning and there’s also more than one language in the world but terms still cross from one language into others.
Honestly as long as you’re trying to be considerate of others I don’t think anyone can fault you, and that goes for everything. People will try to speak for everyone, but even when they do speak for the majority there are usually exceptions.

Generally it isn’t. The term comes from a meme that involved a gif of an actual trans woman (Bailey Jay)

I guess the word has been reclaimed?
There were some streamers that would dress up as girls to make fun of horny perverts on omegle. You can say, they were trapping perverts.
