hon
Part of speech: noun
intj
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Shortened from honey.
The transgender slang sense derives from the supposedly abundant use of "hon" as a term of address by older transgender women, presumably as a way to verbally affect a femininity they are otherwise perceived by some to lack (due to not passing well), and is especially associated with the cliché phrase "you look great, hon". Derogatory sense likely came about from users of 4chan's /lgbt/ board mocking the discourse on transgender forum Susan's Place.

If you didn't experience that you'll end up one of those ugly SJW programmer transbian hons with dyed hair sucking each other's dicks while acting like men in every way possible.
[cw anti-trans slurs] I get that they're rarer than 'trap' (being used to describe trans women as intentional deceivers) but I'd like it if people could be equally hostile to the terms 'brick' and 'hon' honestly / it's all transmisic garbage
'brick' refers to a trans woman who doesn't 'pass', 'hon' refers to a trans woman who doesn't pass and also is nice to other trans women who don't pass, particularly used against older trans women
On /tttt/, a major piece of jargon is "hon," a slur used by trans women for other trans women.
It [the word "hon"] comes from the cliché, "You look great, hon," which is often used by older transitioners who do not "pass."
Consider the fact that /tttt/ calls any positive trans space a hugbox full of hons. We're still hung up about passing and it's so pathetic.
listen hon, if you're a "biological boy" that's cool and all but the rest of us are trans women.
i feel like that depends on how you're using it. referring to yourself as a "hon", or using it as a joke, sure. but calling other trans people hons directly or indirectly is a bit far imo. it's an insult about something specific, so it's different from general slurs like "tranny"
