ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted June 12, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted June 12, 2022 I don't think the word itself suddenly became offensive, but it definitely was tolerated/"accepted" until around the early/mid 2010s.
Bussea Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 The transphobia in here I didn’t know that it was a slur until 2015. I had a friend who was trans who told me that it was offensive and I’ve never used it any more. I used it when i was younger a couple of times because we had a t-girl in our class and when referring to her I said the word even though I didn’t say it negatively.

Ye, same as it's sorta ok for gay men to call their female friends the b word in certain circumstances. I never used the t word, but i assume if i had a trans friend i'd be using it around them in the same way as i use the b word around my female friends.
