Let’s look at different point of views:
Men that find out and don’t care about any of it, the dishonesty or the past because of the experience, or their openness to accept people. No harm.
Men that care about at the very least, the deception. It doesn’t have to be homophobia. I am not homophobic, but I don’t desire to have sex with a trans not men, just a point of fact for me. The harm is the lie and an experience that was not agreed to. I don’t think it’s a legal issue, yet.
The trans person themselves. What do they have to gain with the dishonesty? Surely they must be happy and identify fully with this gender, and lying may increase sex partners either as a civilian or an SP, but even if the world is becoming more accepting, there still is a risk of assault due to deception no? Not to mention the irony of this person not “lying” to themselves about who they are and overcoming their biological limitation only to lie to other people?
I fully believe in transrights but I also believe to fully be acccepted by society, each class of society should be as honest and truthful as possible, otherwise the worse of each class perpetuates stereotypes and persecution.
Have not all disparaged groups benefitted by demanding and seeking acceptance for who they are? I wonder if they trans groups willingly accept like minded trans people to not offer full disclosure for partners. Although I can’t speak to that, I’d imagine they do not support it at all.
