In an intimate or potentially intimate relationship, I think one has to be honest about their past. I wouldn't try to hide something so vital to the long term success of the relationship (not to mention the possible risks involved as b-rose points out).
My goal is to transition to blending into society as a woman, not as a trans woman. I'm realistic enough to know that will be impossible in anything more than a passing acquaintance with someone. My dream is that society in general will come to accept trans women as women first, transgender second, if at all. Again, I doubt it will happen in my lifetime, but it's my hope for future generations.
I do find it VERY offense to have someone say, "You were born a male, and will always be a male!" They buy into the definition of 'male' as anyone with a Y chromosome. There's so much more that goes into establishing one's sex and gender than that.
