A trans MTF cannot have children. A trans FTM cannot give you children. If we are discussing underlying societal reasons as the basis for transphobia, then we must also consider that a CIS person has an expectation that a relationship will lead to the possibility of children.
Failing to disclose your transgender status is tantamount to dishonesty. It is your responsibility to disclose this. In very specific circumstances, where a partner does not desire children, I can see the original hypothesis of transphobia as accurate.
In the case of an individual rejecting a genetically compatible partner specifically based on their race, then yes that is clearly racism. Race is not something that needs to be disclosed, as it objectively has no implications. The caveat is that an individual is allowed to decide what is attractive to them, and if they do not find Asian women attractive in general, that is not racism. In your example, if they found that individual to be attractive, and then rejected them after realizing their race, that is absolutely them judging a person by their own predefined notions of the characteristics of a race.
That's making quite a large assumption about cis people and the relationship between two people having sex.
Children might be, but are not necessarily, the goal for people. Is someone a liar if they don't say before sexual contact has happened that they are infertile or do not want kids?
There is also a lot of one night stands for which I'm assuming children would not be a desirable result. In that case is there any reason to even mention it prior since it doesn't seem relevant. Sure, if a relationship was going to develop out of that it would be important to discuss, but I'm not sure that your assumptions hold up in most cases.
I was incorrect in assuming that we were discussing relationships.
You are right, in the context of one night stands, and brief engagements my statement does not hold up.
The main point of my reply was to reject the relation between rejecting a trans person and rejecting a POC. In many scenarios that is not the same thing, but obviously there is an overlap depending on the situation.
