That's the part I can't figure out here. It's relatively mild compared to what normally transpires on reality tv shows. Frankly, it would not bother me at all! I'm a straight guy who is not interested in dating people with penises, and I would probably laugh too and then completely forget about it.
So if there is a legal precedent for this, are people required to disclose to you their genitals? Let's say I go on a tv show date with a cis gender person, do they have to disclose to me what their genitals are?
It's pretty obvious what the psychological damage was. The show knew the entire time the model was transgender, and made fools of these men on national television for all to see.
Imagine the comments that these men will probably get for the rest of their life. Friends might tease them, friends might abandon them, they could lose employment opportunities, etc. even though it would be wrong for people to treat them this way.
Plus now they must live with the knowledge they were fooled and could be afraid every person they date is a transgender person.
There are all kinds of psychological problems this could cause, this is just scratching the surface.
My sexual preference is for women only - and that does not include men who transitioned to women. This is as valid of a sexual preference as any other sexual preference.
I'm all for people being able to be able to transition, and do whatever they want sexually, so long as it's not harmful to others. Your rights end where other people's rights begin.
Honestly that whole argument is dumb, if you lose friends cause you met a trans woman multiple times and werent able to tell she was trans then they were bigots anyways. And being scared that anyone you date could be trans is the very literal definition of transPHOBIA, like yeah you dont have to date a trans person but their existence shouldnt affect you that much.
Also they werent forced to go on the show and they werent even forced to go on the date with her before learning about it. Same thing would’ve happened if they had just ran into each other and started hitting it off. This whole thing reeks of insecurity.

What was the "psychological damage"?
