I have so much mix feelings about this. There's no doubt that there is some level of transphobia involved and I totally see someone filing this lawsuit because they were embarrassed. However, lying your way to have access to sex with someone is also really bad. I think it's worst for the trans person is that this type of case can set a very very dangerous precedent on the trans community as a whole. Trans people won't be able to have sex with anyone unless they have to go out of their way to constantly get evidence of any sorts to prove their relationship is 100% consensual, which would be an absolute nightmare especially in a community that is vulnerable due to some of the highest violence/homicide rates against them from stuff like this. I don't like this at all.

EDIT: Also trying to use the defense that "it's obvious that this women is actually a man" is also transphobic as fuck as well. NO! You absolutely cannot tell just by looking at people. This is the type of shit that gets people who don't look like a traditional cis straight women bullied and discriminated against. I get why the lawyer used it, but it's really only going to hurt the case more than help it.
