No it isn't: you're just mindlessly repeating the lies of a certain political bloc. The same bloc that thinks all children should be taken to drag shows, something that horrifies most drag queens.In real life, with humans interacting with each other and such, suggesting someone is “trapping” someone by dressing a certain way is offensive.
"Trap" originated on 4chan, where, back in the 'Aughts, and especially on /b/, anons would post, one at a time, several minutes apart, pics from a set of a woman. Other anons would post betting whether it was a woman or an MtF, until... The Reveal. (It should be noted that the porn stills back then usually were ordered in such a way that The Reveal would be towards the end, lending themselves to this kind of posting.)
And somewhere in the middle of this build-up, one of the most popular memes to post was... the GIF of Admiral Ackbar saying, "It's a trap!", which is where the slang term for crossdressers and pre- or non-bottom surgery MtF came from.
The Reveal would, of course, explode the thread, evenly divided between the "Awww YEAH!" and the "F--king degenerates!" contingents, along with a smattering of connoisseurs typing, "Umm, meh, not that convincing" posters, and many lulz and bantz would be produced.
So it was all about a bunch of anons amusing themselves, and never had anything to do with people deliberately hiding their birth sex from potential sexual partners. And everyone knows this history, even the members of the above political bloc, who pretend not to know it.
