It's definitely not something that should result in a lawsuit or jail time. That's utterly ridiculous. Transgendered people aren't trying to dupe or trick their partners, they simply no longer identify with their birth gender by any means (well, they never have in the first place usually) and are trying to move on in their lives as the gender they now are. If the transgendered person is post-op and has all the parts of their desired sex, then I don't see what the big deal is. It's not a homosexual encounter anymore, unless you want to get really technical. The fact that these girls tried to take legal action is just a reflection of their own transphobia/homophobia. Especially given the fact that all one of them did was KISS the person! How the hell can you press charges for that?

I definitely agree that transgendered people should reveal the truth to their partners at some point if their in a relationship with them, but honestly I don't see it as that big of a deal when it comes to a one night stand. That's like suing a woman with fake breasts because you thought they were real but found out they weren't and you will only be intimate with women who have real breasts. If it was consensual and there was no health being jeopardized or at risk, then what is the basis for this being a lawsuit? It's all psychological. The only time I believe it's wrong to withhold sexual information from a partner is if your health is at genuine risk in any way shape or form (ie lying about STDS, HIV, etc) or someone is underage and lying about it.
