If a woman is biologically female, she doesn't have to disclose, but if a transgender woman has a penis, she should disclose that fact before sex, right? That's because they aren't the same thing.I have answered the question. Twice. And I have said they aren't the same thing. Like 4 times. This is why I come to the conclusion that you aren't reading past the first line.

You keep saying this. Where are all these ashamed trans women trying to hide their penises? This is what I have an issue with. You have created this trans woman who is ashamed of her penis and is trying to hide it and trick everyone, and you have presented it as if this is the standard for trans people. Where is this woman, and why do you think this is indicative of trans people in general? This has been my issue all along. You are stuck on this strawman of a transgender person that is no more uncommon than the average asshole.
"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
