Is it a form of rape if a transgendered individual does not disclose they are transgendered prior to sexual activity?

It does not seem like much of a trick to me.
Its more likely Etute knew exactly what he was doing and did not care then he got found out by his buddies and they all went to Smiths apartment to beat the chit out of him so Etute could save face.

I surely cannot refute your imagining of what occurred.

Care to elaborate?
What do you think occurred?

Any deception which could impact the decision making process takes away consent. No consent = rape.

Is it clear that the biological sex of my sexual partners is immaterial to me? How so.
Have I discussed my preference or lack there of?

Or is it based on my belief that a person should know who they are having sex with. At least actually see them, naked preferably, maybe a brief conversation (real not online).

I'm not going to judge those who have random, indiscriminate sex with strangers if that is what they are into, but I have no sympathy for them when they want to whine or retaliate when they realize they are disgusted by what they have done; that the person they dropped their drawers for was not as thin, or sexy, or young or the gender they assumed they were.

I do have sympathy if a person has done reasonable diligence and is being reasonably and intentionally deceived.
I dont believe that was the case here.

After reading oodles of your posts in this thread it is clear, because you have said so in multiple posts and multiple ways, that you think the biological sex of a sexual partner is of no more importance to partner choice than how much they earn, the natural color of their hair, or marital status. Most people think the biological gender of their sexual partner is the single most important consideration and it is only after that to other things, including emotional relationship, come into play. I have been very, very fond of numerous women in my lifetime, to the point that I truly love them, but I would never, ever consider them a suitable sexual partner because they are not biological males. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is more important to my choice in an intimate sexual partner than their biological sex. Finding out a person I was in the process of forming an intimate relationship with had failed to tell me they were not the gender they told me they were and presented themselves as would be a betrayal I would never forgive them for and would leave me feeling violated.

I truly do not understand why this is such a hard concept for you, other than because your partner’s gender is immaterial for you it has never dawned on you how crucial it is to the bulk of humanity.
