From where I am slurs are used against minorities as default. Nigger comes from history of oppression and mispronouncitation of the Spanish word for while transwoman has it written there itself. While latter is not even frowned upon the former requires social/historical context. Idk why you would even need a source. If I get banned for my comment it is what is. I just find it stupid to say N-word when we’re talking about the same word and only the word itself.
For what it’s worth, you don’t seem to be using it with malicious intent. That’s my determining factor for taking action.
I do appreciate people not using any in the first place though. So let’s, you know, not use any?
Rsspectfully, I’d like a source because I have seen this spelling used innocently in the wild, can find it used innocently in searches and cannot find any use of it as a slur. The OP made an innocent post and “correcting” them with a condescending tone seems a bit much. But I genuinely want to respect the facts, so I was as polite as I could be about it. And then I got a more condescending, defensive response from you, a person who feels entitled to use slurs.
I’m just old enough to not give a teeny tiny chicken fried fuck what tough guys and bullies think (online or in person) and am happy to stand up in direct defense of people innocently baring themselves. In this case, OP happens to be a pretty decent person (as evidenced by their post history) and I feel a bit more motivated than usual to step in and speak up on their behalf when they are borderline accused of using a slur. Something you are overtly guilty of in your defense of the person I am politely questioning.
Want to keep going? I don’t have a lot of time left on earth and I am going to spend as much of it as possible fucking with bullies. So, let’s play!

FWIW, I appreciate that you were polite. I can see how my tone was interpreted as condescending, which is not ideal for changing minds, though as a woman who actually is trans and is well versed in the sociopolitical and linguistic context of this discussion, I felt it was quite reasonable to take offense and respond as such.
Your correction was warranted and is helpful for allies to support our family and friends. Sometimes a friendly tone is hard to convey in text. And gawd knows what nonstop bullshit the trans community (and loved ones like OP) has to deal with from actual bigots, so I’m grateful for the education every chance I can get it. Thank you.
