I think not. It would make zero difference to me.

Sooz, I was completely with you until this statement. I'm fairly certain you're not comparing being physically disabled and in a wheelchair to being transgendered.
I don't consider being TG a disability and no one I know does.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who also wouldn't care a wit if the person they're attracted to is in a wheelchair because their legs don't work or whatever. I sure wouldn't.
But these same people might indeed care if that person presented as one sex/gender and didn't share that they were in fact not. If there's no disclosure, the other person isn't allowed to make an informed decision about the level of involvement they want to have. I honestly don't understand the comparison; I'd welcome some enlightenment though.
