Do you seriously somehow think a word that basically degrades a trans person to the likes of a sexual predator who tricks people into sexual acts (which has gotten trans people fucking killed because of "trans panic" bullshit) isn't a slur for the majority of us? Seriously?
There you go again, speaking on behalf of the majority. Personally, if someone was to ask me NOT to call them a trap, I would oblige them out of respect and common courtesy, not because the word is a slur.
