Kinda complicated IRL. On the one hand, many trans people don't like it because it's like saying someone would only want them because they think they're a cis woman then, surprise, they have a dick - which tbf is kind of how the term was used in the pre-4chan days. However, some feminine, crossdressing guys identify with the term - and desu it's used more to refer to crossdressing boys than actual trans women.
Rule of thumb - if you use it in public, it doesn't matter whether people think it's a slur or not - they'll still think you're an autist for using it.
