I am genuinely being honest about this I have never once heard this word I always used it as transmission for short. Call it ignorance or what ever you will I grew up in a rural area in Kentucky and never once heard this term maybe its because I was never exposed to this as a slur.

this is why they are warnings and not instant bans! now you know, and now you won't do it again, which is how the system is supposed to work.
I too grew up in a very small town and didn't realize half the things I said with friends were offensive until I went to college. some here at dink's will cringe at this, but it's called being privileged, and just be happy you don't have to be on the receiving end of these slurs on a daily basis simply because you are born with a trait you cannot control, like race, nationality, gender dysphoria, etc.

The issue isn't if you didn't know now you do the issue. The issue is that people are going to say something that isn't written in the MOTD. If it said something in the Motd it wouldn't have been said to begin with by someone who previously never heard this term.
you do this kind of thing with the n word on the discord server too, where you say a slur and then complain that there were repercussions and come up with an excuse. you need to just get over the fact that you can't say slurs, even if you've come up with 50 different reasons why you specifically should be allowed to get away with using them. the rules weren't changed the first time you complained, and they still won't be changed the 20th time you complain.
seriously dude, just get over it.

You know "tranny" is considered a slur. Even if you haven't been reprimanded for using it before, you most certainly have seen people get warned for it. If we spelled out everything that isn't allowed in the rules, it'd be at least 40 pages long. That's why we have broader wording in the rules so that the message that specific rule is trying to convey can be understood without having to spell out everything that isn't allowed.
