Tranny" is the short form for transvestite.

Tranny is a widely used short form for Transvestite. Accordingly, this is a man who dresses up as a woman in everyday life (or for show purposes). In this context, many trannies go for a particularly "colourful" look, high wigs and a shrill appearance.

However, it is a classic prejudice that every tranny is gay be. There are also transvestites who, although they are straight but love to act out in this way. Many men who develop a corresponding penchant not only focus on the appearance of their respective figure, but create a completely new character "on the side". In this way, it is also possible, among other things, to convey special messages and make an important contribution to more tolerance.

At the Travesty art is by no means a phenomenon of modern times. Especially in the 1960s, people used this art form to distract themselves from the worries and problems of everyday life.

Over the course of time, many trannies have also managed to stay within the Scene to become real cult figures. They often celebrate the game between make-up and make-up removal in a special way and take those around them on an exciting journey.

Those who want to gain a foothold in this (sometimes tough) business need a lot of perseverance, talent and also a little luck. The LGBT Movement and the continuous reduction of prejudices have ensured that many men can now live out their passion in an even more uncomplicated way. Those who want to become a tranny are often no longer eyed as critically by their fellow men as was the case years ago. This is true both with regard to the classic show tranny and in connection with men who want to dress as women every day.
