Here's a prime example of why.

Edited For Context: The individual he's pointing at is not a trans man, which changes this from "look at this hypocritical right wing fundie railing against so-called 'perversion'" to "Hey, what's the most insulting thing I can think of to call this person? OH, RIGHT, A TRANNY."

That the target would likely perceive it as insulting is beside the point... Dan Savage is reinforcing the idea that it is an insult, the same way people do when they use "gay" as a generic pejorative.

Sorry for not making that clear when I posted this. I am dealing with a lot right now.
