The way I see it people can have all sorts of reasons for not wanting to sleep with someone.

In principle misrepresenting or lying about anything that would make your prospective partner withdraw consent is rape. But it is in my opinion ludicrous to expect a prospective partner to tell you his/her entire life story before sex that you might sift through it for a deal breaker and cry rape if he/she forgets something that would have been important to you.
To me it makes much more sense to say that people who know that they would withdraw consent over particular traits or events in someones past are responsible to ask about those things. Eg: "Before we have sexual intercourse ma'm I must inform you that if you have ever undergone sexual reassignment surgery and or your mother is either a jew or black (but both at the same time is ok) I do not give my consent to this act."
Though if you want people to actually sleep with you you might need to find a more tactful way of asking but that's not my problem. I need you to clear up a hypothetical for me. Let's say I have a first cousin who's lived her whole life in a different country. I go there in the summer and approach her as a stranger without disclosing our kinship. She takes a liking to me - we start dating and having sex. Later, she finds out I am her first cousin and that I knew this all along but didn't tell her. Is it her fault that she didn't explicitly make it clear when she met me that she wouldn't want to have a sexual relationship with close family members? insest equivalencies now lol
I don't see anything morally wrong with first cousin incest assuming protection. Especially when they're strangers. It's barely incest, not by the standards of a few centuries ago or the American south. But the partner could be reasonably expected to have views on it which would alter their decision to consent based on the withheld information. The analogy works.

Your first assumption is wrong. Assuming nobody asks and nobody discloses, the trans person sleeps with 9 strangers and all 9 of them are fine.

Why are sexual proclivities the holy grail that cannot be criticised based on prejudice while everything else can be criticized? Of course.you have UNFAIR and irrational prejudice if you become upset after sleeping with a trans woman. Only you can decide if you are ok with having that prejudice. Just dont freak out and get defensive when people call a spade a spade. Cool. You won't mind if I say that you folks seem to be using your minority status to bully people into confirming social norms that make life easier for you. I mean, your confort level is what matters here and making sure that you don't have to disclose anythign that makes you uncomfortable. And if I don't want to sleep with someoen who is trangender, I best keep it to myself because I don't want to be called a bigot. I am all about equal right and making sure people are treated fairly in every way. But I am pretty done when people start calling me a bigot based on who I want to sleep with. If you dont want to sleep with a trans woman then make it known. Not my fault that you are insecure.about the fact that you dont find trans women sexually appealing due internal transphobia. Maybe you should stand up for your beliefs more and then trans girls.wont be interested in you.
Why do I have to broadcast my sexaul preferences and confort level and be called a bigot when no one else does? All I want to do is get along with people and everyone seems set on telling me I have to be willing to sleep with transgender people or I'm a bigot. Also, what if I didn't know until someone told me they were transgender? Do I have to sleep with them to avoid being a bigot, even though I'm not sure I want to.

He can ask that question 9 times with very little effort. Really this whole discussion is probably completely moot because the probability that a man will both hookup with a woman and that she will be trans is close to zero. You need to ask for your money back on that statistics course. It doesn't matter if each man only has sex 9 times, that doesn't change the ratio in the slightest.

This sounds a lot like saying 'she was asking for it'. Anything else aside, it's never ok to assault someone.

Transphobic people still get to consent. And it's still not the responsibility of the trans woman to tell everyone she's trans. If a man really doesn't want to sleep with a trans woman, he's the one who needs to take responsibility for making sure he's sleeping with a cis woman. If he fails to do this, it's his problem. We already did this argument a few hours ago. Basically the assumption that a given person is cisgender is, given no other information, reasonable. With an accuracy of 99.99% that assumption is fine and someone not asking the question can still legitimately care about the issue. It is not reasonable to demand anyone who is transphobic to ask everyone they encounter if they are cis or trans when their default assumption will be correct 99.99% of the time. However the trans person is aware that they are an extreme outlier. The transphobic person and the trans person are not working from equal amounts of information, the trans person knows which situations include a trans person with much more accuracy because they are the trans person in question. It is reasonable to put the responsibility on them.
Yes and this whole discussion is running in circles since then. I could just point a few pages back and show that this post has been answered like 5 times.

No it does not. Are you really trying to imply that transphobic people may find sex with trans people by any means "morally wrong"?

It has consequences - in form of serious trauma. Stop ignoring that. Your stupid logic justifies rape. lol serious trauma. No. There's no trauma that results from having sex with a trans person no matter how averse to them you are. Especially if you didn't no they were trans. It might make you uncomfortable. It might even make you disgusted. But you will not be permanently emotionally scarred. And we've pretty clearly moved on from the rape thing. No, my logic doesn't justify rape. At worst it justifies being kinda an asshole. Following your twisted logic, there is no trauma for a woman who's been raped by means of a rape pill, she doesn't even have any memory of the whole thing. You clearly have no idea of morality. Are you fucking dense?! Of course there's trauma there! She didn't give ANY consent. It's not just that trivial information was withheld from her, the ability to say yes or no AT ALL was withheld. Fuck off I'm not talking to you anymore. Trivial information. You're just not getting this. I keep saying it and you keep not getting this. Whether or not the information is trivial is not up to you to decide. It's that simple. This is why I keep saying what you're saying is rapey. You are saying "I don't like your criteria so I'm going to withhold the information you need to make the judgement you want." And what you keep failing to understand is that I'm not just inventing this criteria. It's trivial in terms of consequences. I'm more than willing to admit that it's non-trivial information for some people. But in that case it's their job to find out about it. If that means asking every woman they sleep with based on the tiny probability that they might be trans...that's their cross to bear. Okay, so you think it's somehow better for people to interrogate every single sexual partner they have in the off chance that they're trans rather than have the trans person just say they're trans? How on earth is that better solution than the latter? We seriously wouldn't even be having this conversation if it were about any other things besides trans people. When someone could plausibly cause another person discomfort (and this is more than plausible, given the world we live in) by some trait about themselves/property/habits/whatever then it's general a matter of common decency to be upfront about it. Just because having sex with a trans person isn't in the same category as something with serious negative physical consequences (like contracting HIV) the emotional/mental well-being of people is absolutely important, and you don't get to tell them to change their habits of consent with respect to sex because you don't feel like it. This is one of those situations in which it definitely sucks for a trans person to be in this kind of situation. But you know what? Sometimes (hell, usually) the right thing to do is inconvenient, and in many cases it can be downright embarrassing/shameful. But this notion that trans people are actually regularly getting assaulted when they tell some person at a bar that they've been chatting with that they're trans is absolutely absurd. First off, the easy solution is to bring this up sometime before you're in an isolated location and have already initiated physical contact, like, you know, before you agree to go home/to a hotel with some person. It's not rocket science, tbh. If someone is really going to attack you in the middle of a public restaurant/bar/club, they're going to get arrested pretty damn fast; assuming they're not complete idiots, they would probably just shake their heads, swallow whatever disgust they have at the situation, and leave you alone. They have nothing to gain from attacking you when all you did was talk to them. You're missing the fact of someone outing themselves and that information being spread. Again, just providing information and reading, I already know how I approach the issue IRL. A trans person is a trans person. Being outed as not being cis while not being cis is not the end of the world. Lots of ignorance being demonstrated by this statement. Justa page ago you were going off about how emotionally damaging being outed as having slept with a trans person could be. Then you show complete lack of understanding as to the emotional trauma that is often caused when trans people are outed without their consent.
Somehow being outed for not being a cis woman is the end of the world but being tricked into having sex with a transsexual, something you did not give consent to and may find disgusting is trivial, a non-issue...

You don't get to make decisions about whether other peoples' criteria for sexual consent are acceptable. It's not up to you. Jesus. How are you not getting this? It doesn't matter if you find their criteria absurd, you still don't get to ignore their consent. You never answered my question about a woman who had a horrible medical deformity and had surgery to fix.and cover it up. Should she be forced to tell her partners about it? You realize that "most" men want a real biological vagina? Are you saying that woman would be having sex with them without their consent considering she could reasonably assume they wouldnt want to have sex with her due to her reconstructed, skin grafted vagina? I don't believe most men do place that much value on a vagina being as God intended. We're talking about a gender who will stick their penis in pretty much any hole it'll fit in. In a strange world where prospective partners did conceivably care about it then she should disclose. I assume you're going down the "how is a penis any different from any other deformity on a woman that can be surgically fixed line" here and that requires me to defend and explain exactly why transphobic people are transphobic. I can't explain that. But that doesn't change whether or not they have the right to choose their partners by any criteria they want. I don't believe transphobic people has the right to be protected from an irrational shame. Like Scarlett said, it's their problem. I won't apologize or put my identity on suspend just because a poor transphobic person could suffer. And then transsexuals wonder why some people might beat them up after having been tricked into having sex with them... If you don't have some fundamental respect for other people, how can you expect others to respect you? This sounds a lot like saying 'she was asking for it'. Anything else aside, it's never ok to assault someone.
Clearly, she intended to take advantage of him and made the whole issue escalate extremely. It's not hard to imagine that while being hit on by a transsexual might be slightly annoying (due to jokes or such), being tricked into having sex with one is a completely different matter.

The way I see it people can have all sorts of reasons for not wanting to sleep with someone. One person might never give consent if the know that their potential partner has undergone a sex change, another might refuse to sleep with jews, or people more than 1/8 black. Yet others might on principle never sleep with people who have ever played league of legends or people who make less than 100k a year.
In principle misrepresenting or lying about anything that would make your prospective partner withdraw consent is rape. But it is in my opinion ludicrous to expect a prospective partner to tell you his/her entire life story before sex that you might sift through it for a deal breaker and cry rape if he/she forgets something that would have been important to you.
To me it makes much more sense to say that people who know that they would withdraw consent over particular traits or events in someones past are responsible to ask about those things. Eg: "Before we have sexual intercourse ma'm I must inform you that if you have ever undergone sexual reassignment surgery and or your mother is either a jew or black (but both at the same time is ok) I do not give my consent to this act."
Though if you want people to actually sleep with you you might need to find a more tactful way of asking but that's not my problem. I need you to clear up a hypothetical for me. Let's say I have a first cousin who's lived her whole life in a different country. I go there in the summer and approach her as a stranger without disclosing our kinship. She takes a liking to me - we start dating and having sex. Later, she finds out I am her first cousin and that I knew this all along but didn't tell her. Is it her fault that she didn't explicitly make it clear when she met me that she wouldn't want to have a sexual relationship with close family members? insest equivalencies now lol
It's not an equivalency. It is a straightforward, hypothetical question, whose answer can help me gain a deeper understanding of his viewpoint. If the situation calls from a different logic than the when transsexuality is involved, I would love to hear why. If the same reason still holds, that would also be enlightening.

Why do I have to broadcast my sexaul preferences and confort level and be called a bigot when no one else does? All I want to do is get along with people and everyone seems set on telling me I have to be willing to sleep with transgender people or I'm a bigot. If everyone is set on telling you something then maybe they have a point, or not. Its up to you how you take peoples reactions. Dont worry most people wont call you a bigot, most likely people wil agree and that one chaser in your group will keep his mouth shut ha.
The same could be said for the large number of cis people tellng the trangender people: "I might not want to sleep with you and I think thats ok, because after all, I decide who I sleep with. It doesn't mean I hate you or don't think your aweosme, I'm just not really sure about sex."
At the end of the day, its the bedroom, not the work place.

Maybe you have a better justification, but this is the obvious conclusion. Maybe not equally as attractive but why should they have to? They're not literally the same thing. Trans is not the same as cis. It's not a distinction I especially care about but if someone else does and all they want to do is deny the trans person their penis then that's their call.
This is another point I wanted to address: A trans woman isn't presenting herself as cis and deceiving anyone. She's just presenting herself as a woman. The distinction between trans and cis is a false one and it's not her job to reinforce it for anyone.

Or it's simply a MAJOR turnoff for someone. We've already had this discussion. One's sexual preferences and turnoffs are nobody else's business and don't have to be rational. Sexual attraction is not merely physical, at least for some people. E.g. if I found some woman physically attractive, but knew she was a prostitute, even former (and had no STDs, a loose vagina or anything), it'd still be a deal breaker for me because I find the idea of having sex with a (former) prostitute disgusting. That does not mean I deem prostitutes as inferior people or anything.

Until a trans woman is actually 100% identical and not just pretty much the same, I don't think you have a proper case for saying a distinction is false. Science isn't there yet. Its just not possible right now.

Yeah it is, neo vaginas are identical to cis vaginas. FTM isn't there yet but MTF can create a female sex that is indistinguishable from cis gendered females.

Which is normally punished by a fine. You can't be tricked into sleeping with someone and charge them with rape afterword.

There's a lot more to being a woman than having a vagina, even disregarding procreation. I also am not convinced that a neo vagina is 100% identical in every way to a cis vagina. Do you mean they look the same? Or that they are actually identical in every way, inside and out?

Depending on how much you can spend, they're essentially identical even to professionals. Obviously, they're not linked to reproductive bits though (yet).

Anyway, according to your twisted logic raping a woman by means of a rape pill is a non-issue as long as you don't infect her with an STD and are gentle about it. I don't think anyone would consider you a moral authority, so keep your opinions to yourself. Just because you think its rape to have sex with a trans woman unknowingly doesnt make it rape. We have laws thag define rape. Stop calling it rape when its not. Thats like saying that i have been raped because i slept with a woman who lost all her hair and used a wig because i find bald people not sexually attractive. Making a person have sex with you they did not give consent to is rape. Just because you have no regard for those people and want to use them as sex toys, apparently, does not make it not rape. Its not rape. They did give consent to sex, hence the sex. Scamming people is a form of theft.
Can you explain how this is a "scam" or "trick"? Being yourself and allowing people to form their own assumptions doesn't fit those terms imo...

The distinction of being born a man is enough for me to not be interested. Who cares what science can make you look like.

Your first assumption is wrong. Assuming nobody asks and nobody discloses, the trans person sleeps with 9 strangers and all 9 of them are fine. Are the strangers bigots if they are upset if they find out that they slept with a transgender and didn't know? Yep. They would be. Why are sexual proclivities the holy grail that cannot be criticised based on prejudice while everything else can be criticized? Of course.you have UNFAIR and irrational prejudice if you become upset after sleeping with a trans woman. Only you can decide if you are ok with having that prejudice. Just dont freak out and get defensive when people call a spade a spade. Cool. You won't mind if I say that you folks seem to be using your minority status to bully people into confirming social norms that make life easier for you. I mean, your confort level is what matters here and making sure that you don't have to disclose anythign that makes uncomfortable. And if I don't want to sleep with someoen who is trangender, I best keep it to myself because I don't want to be called a bigot. I am all about equal right and making sure people are treated fairly in every way. But I am pretty done when people start calling me a bigot based on who I want to sleep with. Because the main reason why you would refuse sex with a woman you find attractive because she told you she was trans after you already found her attractive is because you don't consider her equal to a cis woman. Maybe you have a better justification, but this is the obvious conclusion. Maybe not equally as attractive but why should they have to? They're not literally the same thing. Trans is not the same as cis. It's not a distinction I especially care about but if someone else does and all they want to do is deny the trans person their penis then that's their call. This is another point I wanted to address: A trans woman isn't presenting herself as cis and deceiving anyone. She's just presenting herself as a woman. The distinction between trans and cis is a false one and it's not her job to reinforce it for anyone. Until a trans woman is actually 100% identical and not just pretty much the same, I don't think you have a proper case for saying a distinction is false. Science isn't there yet. Its just not possible right now. Yeah it is, neo vaginas are identical to cis vaginas. There's a lot more to being a woman than having a vagina, even disregarding procreation. I also am not convinced that a neo vagina is 100% identical in every way to a cis vagina. Do you mean they look the same? Or that they are actually identical in every way, inside and out?
I don't really care if you personally are convinced...science doesn't need your approval. And I'm not talking about just the vagina, women who undergo sex changes can start their hormone therapy in early to mid puberty and they go through female puberty. This means that all of their secondary sex characteristics (including voice) are female. They even develop their own breasts and don't require implants. The vagina itself is more a function of hormones than the surgery, the surgery just lays the groundwork, the hormones are what turns it into a vagina that's indistinguishable from a cis vagina. They are as identical as two different vaginas of cis women can be.
