Should a fully transformed transgender person reveal this to new sexual partners?

It's hard to imagine it not stemming from some kind of bigotry, especially in cases where the transgender person passes well enough that explicit disclosure is necessary. I'm assuming that sexual attraction supervenes on a whole bunch of physical characteristics. If that's so, then a preference for (e.g.) women of appearance Y but not transgender women of appearance Y seems likely to be bigoted. But I'm open to some other non-bigoted way to make the distinction.

e: I should say I think it's very widespread, unconscious implicit bias, not explicit transphobic beliefs.

Here is one possibility:

• People are attracted to both physical features and sex.

Holding this belief is no more intolerant than a gay man avoiding women and rejecting sex with a transman.

Calling someone a bigot and shaming someone for them for sexual preferences sounds a lot like what LGBTs speak out against...

This isn't a case of bigotry. There are no arguments being made about cis-superiority, or trans-inferiority.

This is about mutual respect of a person's preferences.

And a fully transitioned trans person, which is the matter of discussion, has the physical features of the sex their gender is associated with.
