i& #39;m agender + used to be pretty involved w/ the LGBTQ+ community here in LV. i& #39;ve met a disturbing # of transpeople who faced violence at the hands of cispeople who felt "lied to".
if you& #39;re cis and something in this thread upsets you, you should probably stop & think about why.

i& #39;m referring to all trans/gnc people w/ the "trans" umbrella term (character count)
firstly -- no transperson is obligated to tell you that they& #39;re trans. ever. their body is their business & that& #39;s the end of it.

unfortunately, it& #39;s a little more complicated than that when it comes to intimacy. transpeople (esp trans-fems) have been killed for not disclosing their transness before sleeping with cispeople (esp men).
the ONLY reason a transperson *should* come out is if not doing so could put them in danger.
for example, a pre-op transperson who plans on sleeping w/ someone they don& #39;t know the [LGBT-related] views of.

ideally you& #39;d have the time to learn all about that beforehand, but… sometimes you just wanna blow a load n hit the road. idk. that& #39;s your business.
casual sex/sex work is valid ofc, it& #39;s just more dangerous for that reason.

now for the whole "lying/rape" thing transphobes like to bring up when it comes to post-op people sleeping with them…
it& #39;s neither.
transpeople aren& #39;t deceiving you in any way. that& #39;s their gender, their body, and who they are. argue with a wall.
