It further surprises me that on a TG site like this, when dealing with TG's who have felt years of discrimination and prejudices that they would want to be treated with respect and decency.....why not do the same to others?

There is no perfect person who fits all our tastes and desires so Let's be realistic and accept to know someone without prejudice, let's leave the hypocrisy and lies. Respect the time of people like me who really want to get to know someone well.
