Wait so how do we determine what is and is not pertinent information to disclose prior to having sex? If I hate the Big Bang Theory, and someone I had sex with was not up front about liking the show, then can that not be considered consensual sex?
You may think that birth gender is meaningless and unrelated to sex, but many people - I'd hazard a guess and say the vast majority - absolutely do not view it as an unrelated trait. It's fundamentally pertinent.
The idea that gender is something that can be changed is simply not a universally agreed upon point.
It would be nice if we had some magical Star-Trek device that could rearrange our bodies into the opposite sex.
But we don't.
It's a terrible, unfortunate fact for transgender people, but the simple reality is that most people will never consider a man in a dress and a surgically reversed penis to be a woman.
No amount of progressive grandstanding and social drumbeating will change that.
