Mrhudson, I can appreciate your angle, however it's very common for people to create colloquial expressions for groups. By the act thereof it's not necessarily done as a pejorative or for mal-intent.

But it very much is used offensively in this case, as the "trannies" outgroup status is being reinforced in an article that attempt to look like journalism.

So you are right there are ways you could say tranny that would not be offensive, but the use here I am criticizing is not even close to one of them.

this is an example of either gaslighting or enabling.
