Again bennyboy, with this red herring that you're clinging to. You are really adamant that there is something endemic to transgender people that will just force them to go out and pretend they don't have a penis, huh? It's a really stupid grift. Your idea seems to be that transgender people are all liars and shady types.
This is a problem only for shitty people. I've said it over and over again. If a transgender woman doesn't tell a potential sexual partner, that is wrong. But there is nothing to suggest that this is a particularly common thing that transgender people do. With any population, even straight cisgender males, these poor victims in waiting, there are shitty individuals who will not tell a partner about an STD or about a fetish they have. Once again, this isn't necessarily a problem with transgender people, but with people in general.

For now, you don't get to just make up shit and have it be taken seriously.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
