Do you write this expression on purpose or as a β€œit’s just a joke”? Try to take the perspective of a trans person: It is extremely offending to them because it defames them as human beings due to their gender identity. Using it has consequences for the whole social group as it creates or reinforces prejudices against trans people. 

What can you do?

Never use this expression. The publication of this word may result in legal consequences.
