The meaning is the same. Transsexual is the legal term for it and tranny is a slur, often demeaning.

@ThiagoChaves Transsexual is an accurate and acceptable way to refer to a trans person whereas “tranny” is very rude and can be harm/hateful

Transsexual is the term used to describe a transgender person who is taking steps, or planning to take steps to change their physical bodies. Whereas, Tranny is a demeaning word people may use when referring to transgenders, transsexuals, or transvestites.
