So taking A,B and C as examples which one is going to go down best, certainly not C that is for sure. So to sum up it has been proven that some people find it offensive, and it has also been proven to be much too broad of a term to describe something that essentially is not.

Thus please take this cartoon as just a humorous way to drive
home a point, cause you seem like a bright guy who doesn't need
to 'Get Hooked On Phonics:
But if after reading what various groups of tranwomen prefer to
be called, and the reasoning behind it, then I must deduce that
something may be lost in the reading or interpretation.
Though it may sound like a semantical difference, or a political
correctness issue it goes deeper than that.
The transsexual women who have toiled and struggled very hard
to be the women they are, and who are women 24/7/365, will
often times take umbrage at being compared to someone who is
a woman only on the weekend or for a few hours.
Transsexuals are not transvestites, nor are they drag queens,
cross dressers or the other terms that the less informed populace
refers to them as.
That this is a term used on a porn website, along with the equally
derisive terms 'she-male and ladyboy', does not make it any more
palatable or correct.
You of course have the right to continue to use the term. It is your
First Amendment right to freedom of speech, but much like you
have the right to yell 'fire' in a theatre, it wouldn't be the prudent
thing to do.
Actually it may be in your best interest to not use the term, as 'lust4ts'
has stated when you first meet a women you would lead off with your
best foot, be on your best manners. Not go in calling her a bitch or ho,
or a tranny, or a shemale, etc.
Finally, I have pasted the links and statements once again for your
edification.
Here is a sampling of what other transgroups think of the
term:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tranny
tranny:An extremely offensive term for a transsexual man or
woman, or any of the transgendered community.
On the same level as "nigger", and "cunt" for most people,
though, like "dyke", some of the transgendered community
are trying to reclaim the word, without much success.

She's a woman, just like you are."

Tranny
Sometimes used to refer to transsexuals as well as
automotive transmissions, this term is frequently viewed
as degrading to many in the community. To many it's
viewed as reducing a person to the form of an object.
Unless you're a member of the community or you know
that the trans person is ok with the usage, try to avoid
this one too

The term "tranny" is slang for transsexual, either as an adjective
or noun. Many feel that it is offensive, on par with words
like fag, dyke and nigger. As such, many feel that only
trans people themselves can reclaim it and use it. In some
cities, however, it only means cross-dresser and not
transsexual. Use it with much caution, if at all.

tranny: a term used by some TG women to describe other

There is merit in both sides of the debate here .. I have heard Transgendered women referring to others as "Trannies",in fact I personally know one lady who refers to her feminine attire as "my Tranny rig".
Interestingly enough .. in my younger days,when Radios began to shrink in size & cheap Transistor radios were imported from Japan .. they were universally known,certainly here in UK as ... Trannies ... Lol.
In my experience,I've found it best to ask a Transgendered woman how she refers to herself .. that way you won't go far wrong or cause unwitting offence in what can be a bit of a semantic minefield.
Bye for now,

Having had both, and loving sex as much if not more than the next

If you have had a penis, and then have SRS, you find that the orgasms
are quite different, some women miss having an erection, some will
miss ejaculation, and some will miss the act of penetration.
I think it really depends on how you feel about your penis and using
it. For me it was quite uncomfortable physically and psychologically.
After SRS, and being just another broad in a sea of broads, was cool
as I have other qualities that seperate me from the pack, as we all
have something that makes as unique.
Solving all of my problems, far from it. For me once I solve a problem
or achieve a goal, I will shortly thereafter start another project, or find
another problem to fix.
Though when you are in conflict with your body at such a fundamental
level it may difficult to work on other complex problems. Having SRS
freed up alot of my brain to work on other crap.

If a women is working or with someone that she doesn't have a great
deal of trust, it may be safer both for her physical safety as well as not
getting too emotionally involved with the other person.
Men may like to bottom or be dominated as they now may relinquish
control, and responsibility, as well as it being physically pleasing to
some of them.
And yeah, making love with someone you really care about is great
when it comes into our lifes.
It's the shiznit.
