It's not a strawman, you are saying that trans people being honest is **more** important than trans people not being murdered. The reason trans people aren't always forth coming about who they are when they get into relationships is because they don't want to die. So if you respect their partners feelings **more** than you respect trans people's lives, your argument makes sense, but that's a hell of a way to prioritize, and clearly shows a lack of care about trans lives.

I'm not saying that, and that's exactly what a straw man is. Where you put words in the mouth of my argument, and argue against points and claims that I'm not arguing against.

You have no reason or logic in building your points, only vitriol.

"The assumption that there will be a negative reaction to the truth, so the truth shouldn't be known, is fucking ridiculous when it comes to dating."

There is a long and grim of trans abuse and murders because of trans people being open about being trans, you seemingly choose to ignore this piece of information. That is the argument you made, and if you don't understand your own premises to your own argument, then that's a you problem.
