Skaters call the transition of a ramp a tranny, context is key. Language can be quite gnarly at times!

Originally I voted no on this because I've heard transmissions being referred to as tranny's but I think this could cause more harm than good in the wrong hands. Clearly we've seen there is a specific attack happening against Trans people right now so it's not so far out to believe this could be weaponized too. Tranny is used in a disparaging way towards trans people. @Canessa @AwedJob @potradamus @MorrisMustang @HPrivakos ![image|551x332](upload://gz4aMK1zLFisJ0V6q6rzABCXuf8.png)

You guys gonna try and tell me this one shouldn't be banned because maybe some Mechanic somewhere wants to go by "Transmission"? Come on. No one on the planet exists that wants to use this name for a positive reason. Show me a deployed word where you learn about the proper way to replace and repair a Tranny, and then maybe, but otherwise, this feels like a perfectly good name to throw on the dumpster fire Jason decided to start.
