You. Literally. Said. It. Two. Sentences. Later.
When I say "hide their penises," I'm not talking about tucking. I am talking about hiding the fact that they have a penis. And you keep reading the first line and ignoring everything afterwards.
I'll quote myself so you don't have to scroll up to read it again. Look at the links where I point out that no one has said that a transgender and cisgender woman are physically the same. Read past the first sentence that you quoted in the second paragraph, where I ask where all these women you have encountered that are looking to do this "last minute reveal" (hiding the fact that they have a penis) and why you think that this is something that transgender women are apt to do. You are so hung up on the last minute reveal, but you are just projecting some strawman that doesn't exist in reality.

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
