It's sad that we have come to the point were people dressing in drag or identifying as a woman is te reason that we have 'trust issues'. I realise that some people are doing it for the wrong reasons, over the interenet and stuff, but that doesn't mean this person was. Maybe they like dressing up and acting like a woman? We are in no position to judge that
i dont think this is about judging them. I'm a member of LGTB and I understand perfectly if some just wanna know who they're dealing with. If it's someone u don't know or just some casual everyday, but not meaningful, interaction, I said let it be, but if you plan on stablishing anything with other people, it's better to *trust* and let them know.
its 100% about judging the individual....its straight up saying wow I thought you looked like a girl, then I found out your a boy I cant trust you! Yet this individual for example does not owe anyone the explanation of his or her gender. Whether it be for fun, to dress in drag or the individual is in fact transgender it still doesn't matter because its the individual's way of expressing his or herself. By using a statement such as "this is why I have trust issues" we are as a society (maybe even unintentionally) degrading a population of people and oppressing them further.
Transgender individual's are not even able to access airports if they do not present themselves as the given gender on their passport. So they are forced to be humiliated if dressed as the gender they personally identify with, and denied access or stripped down to prove their gender from birth...
if someones gender at birth is not who they identify with then it has nothing to do with who you are dealing with
Why is everything in funsubstance now about everything being racist, or judging, or offensive. Geez. I so these and didn't think "don't trust drag/ gays" I consider myself smarter than that. I did think, however, how girls do this. You don't have to be in drag. I see them and I feel bad about myself (I know that's not smart) turns out it's all smoke and mirrors just don't have the time for.
Ladies... If your comparing you self to him/her and saying that s/he's prettier than me... you're not being fair to yourself.

They just spent probably close to two hours applying theatrical levels of what is probably high level professional grade makeup to theirself. You're looking at it the wrong way. Implications of cross dressing asside... that's not pretty, that's fake.

I don't think this is about not trusting people who dress up as the opposite gender. I think it's about the girls who wear that much makeup to make themselves look better, when they actually don't look like that at all. Of course, looks aren't a thing to base your trust on, but....
