a tran, used as a term of endearment from one trans girl to another trans girl.
"hey fish, let's swim over to the G.L.O.S.S. show already"
"ya sure, i can't wait to make that pit into a fish bowl"
evolved from a hooker code term for
cis women sex workers (1970s) aka girls who sell vagina (fish-scented
junk) as opposed to ass. later referring to trans women (1980s), especially asians
swimming in
white scenes, who look so much like
cis women that for all intents and purposes are
cis. later (briefly), referring to girls who'
ve had bottom surgery and are card-carrying members of the vaginosis
crew. reclaimed circa
2016 to mean all trans women, including bricks, as a fuck-you to the gay male chaser scene; now considered beyond the pale when used to signal a person's genitalia.
used awkwardly by gay men to refer to cis-passing drag queens because they look so much like a trans woman. like when rich white boys call each other hood on the golf course.
used pejoratively by gay men to refer to trans men at the club in a desperate attempt to self-affirm their trans-exclusionary homosexuality, in the same way that str8 men think touching a dick
will instantly turn them gay (as if they weren't gay already).
