I am trans and find "tranny" and "trap" offensive. They are derogatory terms.
EDIT: Damn crazy to see such bigotry on this platform. What a shame.
and people like you are exactly why content warnings should be standard and why every site/app with user generated content should have a word filter option.
that said, your discomfort should not prohibit others from expressing themselves
Could you point out the bigotry?
"I know I'm offending a group of people but I don't care"
I don’t see it. Trap being a slur is a minority opinion in the trans community.
Not as far as I'm aware. A lot of people don't care for sure but the general consensus in the trans communities I participate in (mostly r/MtF on reddit) agrees it's a slur and find it offensive.
"Trap" is almost strictly a porn term / tag. Not every trans woman wants to be referred to by that, nor do they want to be sexualized.

Girls call themselves sluts, depends how the demographic embraces the word, my gf hates the term princess but likes it when i degrade her
That's cool but you don't go and call girls you don't know sluts, and in the same vein, you don't call trans women you don't know traps or trannies.
