 "tranny" wasn't a spur until some tranny on twitter said it was 
 same happened with "troon," somethingawful's trans goon community were calling themselves troons but then another website started referring to them as troons when mocking them (when they talked about "authentic female pissing sounds" etc) and it triggered them so they surrendered the word to the transphobes 
 I was there for this lol.
Also "fake news"
