This is the Poison from Final Fight/Street Fighter all over again! LOL What's with Japan and tranny characters?

Tranny is not transgender, though. A tranny is a man that dresses like the opposite sex. A trasgender is someone whose sexual identity is different to the one he/she was born with.

I thought out of all the people you would know terminology. Tranny is most commonly meant to address transgenderor transsexual. What you are talking about is a transvestite. While tranny can be used for a transvestite, it rarely isn't because there is a better word already for it.

Trust me, I know which boxes I have to uncheck when searching for porn.
