Is 'trap' a transphobic slur?
>>

Don't know don't care. But your pic related is truth.
>>
Think about the hateful things people have said and you were there to hear them in full context. How many times has anyone ever said trap in a hateful way that you really know of? I heard lots of truly hateful slurs and that didn't make the cut, f a m. It's for confused people dressing and confused people fapping. Porn tag. The end.

It used to be, and probably is still being used that way by some folks living under rocks.

But at least on 4chan it primarily just means non-trans crossdresser now.

Tumblr kids. New friends. Listen, you've been lied to and you bought it because you weren't here for Ackbar and linetrap. Real meme history. It all started here and it was not serious or hateful business. We all fapped & cried like usual.

chill dude. I realize 'trap" isn't really a slur, but no you're taking it too seriously.
>>
I've been gone for a while, is trap now colloquially non-trans crossdressers? I'm just a regular trans girl but I jokingly refer to myself as a trap.
>>
>>5433973
yeah it's pretty much the replacement term for crossdressing now. A lot of trans on leddit or whatever decided it was "problematic." So it's not totally fashionable for you to have a sense of humor like that. I think you're doing gawds work.

But r/traps is filled with mtfs

>>5433973
Same.

>>5432802
Naw, but I prefer the term transvestite, its just got a ring to it.
>>
>>5432802
Maybe very mildly transphobic. Doesn't seem nearly as bad as tranny, and less frequently used, and even that one seems too bad. The original meaning of the term obviously implies negative things about trans people, but even several years ago it doesn't seem to have been used in a negative way.

>>5433917
I suspect it started out in a mildly transphobic way, the implication that they trick straight men to have sex with them, but yeah even on early 4chan it seemed to have been used positively.

>>5434278
Sounds too technical and awkward imo.

it started as a joke, a reaction pic posted in response to pics of trans girls which itself became a meme, not any actual interaction between trans girls and men. If anything the trapping was being done by guys on /b/ who'd post their clothed pics and then after a while show everyone the dick, and then someone would post the admiral ackbar picture and everyone had a laugh.

Interesting to note that back then there were lots of shemale porn videos that employed this same method too, acting like it's a trick video where the girl acts all sexy with clothes on and tucked really well then surprise! Which is kinda strange because if you bought the video you'd already know, it'd be advertised as shemale porn. Maybe being tricked in to it is part of the fetishistic narrative for some chasers.
>>
>>5433973
Same, I generally use trap more than anything else really.

>>5432802
So no, I really wouldn't consider it a slur as it pretty much is never used in a negative context.
>>
>be me
>gay man, but scrawny
>can't attract anyone as a man, pretend to be a trap to find chasers
