Also it's used as a shortened form of "transmission".
For example one might talk about an Allison 6-speed tranny or whatnot. So it's not offensive there either.
If you're using it in that way then go ahead. But when you use it to refer to a transgender person, then it becomes offensive.
Most trans people find it offensive and I respect them enough to not use it.
I've never liked that word. I wouldn't use it, but it's not upto me to decide what's offensive, I'm not transgendered. I feel only transgendered people are in the position to make that call
Considering a lot of trans. find it transphobic and I only hear it used in a negative way... how dare I say it's not offensive and especially if I'm not a transgender myself. I mean I have respect for others, I don't know about yall.
This too Like all you do is have to search the word on twitter and compare how many people are using it in a positive way to how many people are using it negatively.

Exactly this. Y'all know by now that it isn't used in a positive light.
