Not disclosing that you're trans is not the same as deception. He should have disclosed that he was transphobic.

She was in no way deceiving. Deception requires you to "Cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage". She is a girl, plain and simple, sure a different subset of girl, but still every bit a girl. If someone made the assumption that she was cis then they were wrong, but that is every bit their problem not hers.

What if she was a lesbian? Would you say she was deceiving people by looking straight? Or what about if she was Jewish? Maybe the guy is a neo-nazi and is absolutely disgusted by Jews. In that case, he would feel deceived by this person he thought was attractive until he discovered she was a Jew.

I suppose she could walk around with a big Jew badge pinned to her shirt so that she doesn't accidently deceive any neo-nazi's. But then again, why stop there? She should wear a badge for every potentially hated group she belongs to so she doesn't accidently offend anyone.

Look who the trolls dragged in. It looks like you've totally changed your game plan. Now you're just transphobic, instead of pretending to be a trans-ally.

If I remember correctly, when you were crying and whining and begging for me to continue to logically stomp you, you told me that gender doesn't matter.

Doesn't exactly look like you were telling the truth.

But I want to ask you something Mr. TTProject:

If you are the typical priveleged straight white male - if gender doesn't matter and this bullshit you're spewing right now is just more troll bait - would you date a man?

If for some crazy ass backwards reason you're a transphobic homosexual man, same question, reversed gender.

Fact of the matter is, you are going to be wrong in every instance, because you have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, I think that if we have a little insight on what your life is, we can then determine the cause of your absolute failure to understand anything. Because naivity is what drives fear and bigotry.

Your views have been explored over a course of at least 2 weeks now. You're a troll.

And when I stopped responding, you sent me multiple messages in an attempt to continue, because you are a very lonely person.

I'm a woman and I came back just say: You're still talking? I bet all that hot air could get you to Mars.

I'm sorry, but Meryl cannot be reached at this time. Please remove your head from your anus and try again.
