And should it be classed SA if they sleep with someone without informing them, and this person wasn’t okay with it?

It should not have to be disclosed immediately… we have to gauge if you are even a safe person before disclosing. But if it gets to the point of having sex the discussion should be had prior to sex.

I have a question for the people who think it should be disclosed from the start, are you wanting to just simply be told they're trans or are you expecting details immediately? I've always wondered how much information people are expecting when they say they want to know from the start

This is a tricky one for me to answer. I don't feel like they should have to disclose from the start but for me personally if I found out way later then I would feel like it was something they'd hidden from me and I'm not sure how I would feel about that.
To answer ginger although I'm not a straight forward disclose from the start vote, for me it would just be about knowing and understanding them as a person, I wouldn't be expecting details immediately unless it was something they wanted to share or were happy opening up about.
I do also totally understand though the need for safety and understanding in opening up because sadly there are a lot of vile people in the world. I have a friend in America literally feared for her life on more than one occasion and suffered violence and discrimination and yeah some of her stories make me feel ill for her. The world definitely needs more kindness and understanding.

Doesn’t have to be right away- but I believe it should be disclosed before any type of physical activity starts (including kissing)

Like everyone else is saying it should be disclosed before sex, but not immediately upon meeting/talking to someone. Especially right now when trans people are being hate crimed and murdered just for existing. It's too dangerous to just tell people, they have to sus out the situation.
And I don't consider it sa if they don't tell someone... The other person is consenting and assuming this trans person has had surgery, theres literally nothing to be upset about. At that point its more than likely transphobia than anything else. And if they hadn't had the surgery then the other person can obviously withdrawal consent before ever actually doing anything. As long as consent is respected I don't see anything wrong with it. Although I don't think that's a safe situation for trans people because there have been many cases of trans people being murdered in these situations. So I do think it's best to tell someone before sex, but it's not sa if they don't.

Legally in the UK it has to be mentioned from the start
