Referring to everyone who happens to be trans as "trannies" is a form of objectification at its core. Again, just because some transgendered people might be okay with it doesn't mean it should be acceptable.
Tranny is like the word *****.

Transgendered individuals can say it to refer to themselves, but if you say 'look at that fucking tranny', it's offensive.
