Last year I put aside my feeling that "->-bleeped-<-" was a word transsexual and transgender folks owned.
Not some fancy-schmancy post-modern overly analyzed term generated form the halls of academe but one that grew out of the musk and pee mixing with discarded condoms in low life drag-hustle bars.
In the 1960s it was "transie" later evolving into "->-bleeped-<-". the language of sex workers and beautiful losers who lived in slum rooms and by the week hotels.
Now I realize that term has been co-opted by the porn industry and outsiders who have turned it into a slur.
