I'm following up on these two posts about coming out as transgender to romantic partners.

In both threads, there were people who not only argued that trans people have an ethical obligation to come out to their partners, but a few people were even arguing that having sex while stealth is sexual assault. That is, they were arguing that transphobic people can't consent to sex without knowing their partner's trans status, as such knowledge would effect their decision making. Thus, they argued, trans people must either come out to their partners or be celibate.
