I STRONGLY encourage you to go back to the beginning of this thread and read the exchange on the issue of even attempting to define terms such as these, in the context of people's self-identities.

As far as transsexuals are concerned. We should ask them what they like and don't like.
The last thing I want to do is offend any of the transsexuals that participate here.
Bionca says she doesn't mind the term tranny but it depends on the context.

How about the rest of you?
