Look at the language trick here. The real question in this case is "Are you socially obligated to kiss a particular trans woman, lest you be subject to the leftist mob?", and the answer of course is NO.

But the question here is "Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a trans woman?". "Discriminatory"! That's crimethink! You're a good person, right? You don't want to be guilty of a thoughtcrime, do you? Of course you don't. And the phrase "a trans woman" sneaks in, which will be spun after the fact if necessary -- if you give the "wrong" answer -- to represent all "trans women" instead. Allow somebody to exercise a little "agency", a little of that vaunted "no means no" discretion, and he and you are both bigoted against all "trans women".

Where have we seen this kind of verbal sleight of hand before? I hope you need only a moment to think of a recent example that is almost exactly the same construct: "Would you vote for a woman for President?"

Yes. But it is the exact opposite of the original gay rights. “Let us love whom we want!”

Which has to be ok for EVERYONE. It’s ok for someone with a penis to want someone with a penis. Love whom you want! Then it has to be equally ok for someone with a penis to not want someone with a penis. Pro (penis) choice!
