    only several countries have classified various cases as rape if the person intentionally misled the other person on what their gender is, so your argument is invalid.

    It’s not cool to the person being lied to, and it isn’t doing trans people’s reputation any favours

      well, if a state says it, it’s legitimate. hey, there are states where it’s literally a capital offense for me to exist. therefore I should kill myself?

      I think the pragmatic reason for a trans person to not mislead anyone on purpose is because someone noping out of fucking you at the last second and being grossed out by (their reaction to) your body is just a bad time emotionally, but this respectability politics shit is just excusing the literal murder of trans people. if i hit on someone because I think they’re cute, its because I think they’re cute. nobody should need need to fucking keep “I AM TRANS I WAS NOT BORN WITH A BODY SOMEONE WOULD EXPECT TO GROW INTO A BODY LIKE THE ONE I HAVE AND I MUST KEEP THAT AND MY INFERIORITY AND HOW MUCH LESS PEOPLE THINK OF ME IN MIND AT ALL TIMES” in the front of their mind at all tiimes; that’s sick, puts all the weight of oppression on trans people, and excuses murder of people who thirty seconds ago thought someone thought they were cute.

        I’m not saying trans people should be killed.

        Think about it this way, “corrective rape” is unnacceptable. So doing it to straight people should also be seen as immoral.

          so trans people existing is rape? or is that just trans people existing in public?
