Only if you've never seen a penis in your life before tbh
Like I said, "shocked" or "confused" fine, but traumatised is just petty. But I'm with Steelcurtain anyway, it reflects badly on the person, not trans people as a whole. And yes it could be worse, some people lie about not having STDs. That's far worse, potentially life threatening if it's HIV
Also how much of this "trauma" is really just worrying about what your straight "bros" will think of you sleeping with a transwoman? That's what it really comes down to, embarrassment that you pulled "one of them".

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
