Do you know any single men who would not kill a guy engaging in sex with them while pretending to be a woman?
I do not discuss this sort of thing with any single (or married) men I know. However, that did not answer my question about the criminal statute for “rape by fraud.” Is it because it has not occurred to any state or the feds to criminalize a man’s having sex while claiming to be a woman?
I could see a civil cause of action under the Uniform Commercial Code ... materially misleading representation, for example, although it depends on what the “product” is. If the product is the sex act, and the sex act occurred, then it’s a standard transaction. You paid for X, you got X.
On the other hand, if the person is the object of the transaction, then you could have a misrepresentation, although the defendant - the cross-dressing man - could claim he was sure the other man knew he was a man all along.
If there isn’t any statute law up to this point, I doubt there ever will be, because it is now social dogma that a man is a woman is a man is a woman is a man, whatever they say they be at this moment.

Better they kill themselves for falling for it.
Did you ever see "The Crying Game"? Forrest Whitaker wouldn't.
