ok maybe I'm not chronically online enough but isn't it just a shortening of "honey"?

Idk, I’m from the south so it’s pretty common to get called that but this time was different in a way I’m not sure how to explain

That’s usually spelled “hun” when shortened like that, from everything I’ve seen and how I use it.

I’m pretty sure that was the origin, but they gave it a second meaning. They were using the existing term of endearment “hon” passive aggressively towards other trans women, then it sort of shifted to become its own thing. At least that’s my understanding of it
