I'm fine with shemale. Porn-related or not.

I think it's up to the girls to decide, not the guys. Your favourite word for black people might be n***r, but unless you were a racist or completely stupid, you would never address someone as such (unless perhaps you were black yourself and reclaiming the word). Think this is a stupid comparison? Some girls find "shemale" equally offensive, due to similar degrading connotations.

my girlfriend hates "shemale" and "ladyboy", but she likes "TS" or "T-girl" or often just "girl". I sometimes call her "tranny" for a joke, but she knows I have a twinkle in my eye when I say it.

By the way, "transsexual" has a double S.

I'd usually say Shemale and refer to Asians as Ladyboys. I think tranny sounds the hottest though.

If I'm talking about porn then I say shemale or t-girl. I use t-girl, transsexual or transgender in "real life".
