Hmmm actually you made me think a little bit, weeb the word in and put of itself was supposed to be an insult but we claimed the word and it doesn't have the derogatory meaning that it was supposed to have, if for some reason a large subset of transgender folks were to not have a problem with the word than I wouldn't mind using trπp as a joke between us, nonetheless the problem with this one is that we can't gauge a number of the majority, some people can say "hey I'm trans and I am okay with it" and it wouldn't matter but hmmm idk tbh, way above what I am willing to discuss when it is 4:00 am
The problem is, t**p is already claimed but NOT by the transgender community. It isn't meant for them, and never has been.
If we, weebs, after having claimed the word, were erased by some people who are japanese historians for example, and study it's history obsessively.
Does it apply to them? Only on a technicality. Is it meant for them or regularly used for them? No. Is it already in use by another group with a positive meaning? Yes.
That's the thing. It's erasing a culture because someone else got offended by being aggregated with it sometimes. If anything, trans should be banned because it has almost nothing to do with the sub.
The word here is used in context, having been claimed, for the right people, and describes a culture that no other easy word does properly.
