I had someone IM me off of OkCupid and ask me about my profile. They liked my writing style and asked me a lot of questions about profile writing. It wasn't a relationship, connection kinda IM, but one of me helping her. During the conversation, I talked about why I wasn't hopeful finding relationships at all. I explained that I am trans, and she said that I should be more obvious about it, that I was being dishonest.

Your profile seemed up front to me.  While I don't think you're deceptive you could replace on of those usages of 'queer' with 'transgender' and added greater clarity.

I'm very explicit about my TG identity in my own profiles.  It's for my own benefit to eliminate people who aren't okay with it at the beginning.

I did learn that I'm a Peach, which is kinda cool!
