"Tranny" is a shortening of "Transsexual", a person who's gender identity does not match their biological sex. It's pretty derogatory in America, however, in Australia (where it was originally coined), this is not the case, in fact it's used as a rallying word.
There are many people who seem to have an aversion to this word, despite having no obscene connotations. For these people, hearing the word causes any number of negative feelings.
