Troon is a slang term that emerged in early 21st-century online communities as a shortened, informal label for a person whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned at birth, usually referring to a trans woman. The word likely comes from "trans" + a clipped ending to form a catchy nickname. Historically and currently, it is almost always derogatory, used online to mock, ridicule, or dehumanize transgender people. It is considered offensive in almost all contexts and is not a neutral or accepted term within LGBTQ+ communities.

Troon is a slang term that emerged in early 21st-century online communities, originally as a shortened form of "tranny" or "trans person," though it is widely recognized today as derogatory. It is often used to refer to transgender people who undertake social, medical, or legal steps to align their body and presentation with their gender identity. The term carries a strongly offensive and mocking connotation, particularly online, and is almost never considered neutral or respectful. Using it outside critical discussion of slang or internet culture is highly likely to be insulting.
