SAN DIEGO, California – Readers of San Diego Gay & Lesbian News who took our poll show strong feelings about the use of the word “tranny.”

Our poll question was: Where do you stand in war over the "tranny" word? The poll attracted one of the largest number of participants.

The results, which are not scientific, reveal that 49% of readers say that say that transgender model and activist Carmen Carrera is correct (don’t use the term because it is derogatory), gay icon RuPaul is right (when did the term become forbidden?), 21% say it’s much ado about nothing, and 9% think both sides make good points.

The new SDGLN Poll question asks readers: Will you be watching the World Cup, the most popular sports event globally?
