Just FYI (and maybe you already knew this), "transvestite" is considered demeaning by most of the people it's normally attached to. Perhaps you meant "...when used by non-transgender people"?

As I've seen it, okama is used highly ironically by some Japanese trans folks. Fairly similar to the use of "tranny" in English, actually. But, like a lot of these words, it ain't cool for people who aren't a member of the group to use the term.
