It's funny to me, I have yet to meet a trans woman in the sex industry who *likes* shemale (I'm sure there are, I just haven't met any) or feels like that word represents them or their identity. Most people I have met who embrace the word come across as leaning more toward a fetish relationship to feminizing their bodies.

Though most transsexual people again loath it because in their opinion
it identify's to them as part of the genera of Cross dressers, Transvestites and 'Hairy panty wearers'
...which of course we actually are!
I don't think this is exactly true from what I've seen. At least among the women I know, there isn't much issue with trans women who call themselves/ each other "tranny". It's when non-trans people throw it around, since it's mostly used as a joke or to ridicule how a woman looks (she's so ugly she looks like a tranny). So, for non-trans folks using the word, it has a really loaded recent history - as words change, sometimes their meaning become more negative than positive.
