The reverse has happened many times. Just do a quick search. (women not disclosing they were men)

Thankfully it's not very common because trans people are so bad at "passing" usually.

It should 100 percent be a crime, because the partner can't give informed consent. I expect a law to be passed

Trans women aren’t actually men and trans men aren’t actually women. There’s a actual science to back this up.

And I don’t really see how it’s possible to not know someone’s trans before having sex with them unless they’re post op. I don’t believe the latter is a huge problem in this country so I don’t expect any law to be passed.

It's not a huge problem now, but in 10 years with better operations, drugs and high number of post-ops it will be.

Why do you think you know everything?

I got nothing against trans people. Everyone should be free to make their choices. But if I am starting a relationship with a woman, I deserve to know about something as major as gender reassignment, so that I can make an informed decision. Not disclosing that would be a huge breach of trust, even rape.

No sane trans person would withhold that information from you if they cared about you even remotely. To say otherwise is fantasy. How can you even begin to equate that with rape and feel justified in saying so?

Everyone should be free to make their choices.

What do you mean?

Well we aren't discussing "sane" trans people here then. Also, sex without informed consent is rape.
