This is so confusing.
Yeah, actually, kinda the opposite. For most trans women, we're about as fond of the term 'shemale' as hispanic people are the terms 'spic' or 'beaner.' It's pretty much a porn term. Those of us who do adult industry work tolerate it, but I don't know of any who actually like that term. But the term 'transbian' is totally different. A lot of trans women use that term to identify themselves.
Or, the simple version:
Shemale=
Transbian=
I had no idea that was an offensive term.
