As a trans woman, as much as I'd like for the majority of society to consider it straight for a man to have sex with us, and include us as a type of female, that's not the case. We have no choice but to surround ourselves with those who treat us as female, and then just peacefully ignore those who don't, rather than fight everyone who doesn't. Not everyone's going to agree, and trans women like Lena have no choice but to make peace with that. We have to pick our battles, and crying over some dude who refuses to sleep with us is not the hill we should be dying on, we have systemic discrimination to worry about.

Coolio has the right to his preference, as well as the right to protect his brand. Coolio could've handled it better by being a gentleman and giving her cab money to get home, I'll give her that. However, Lena's lucky that she just suffered some embarrassment and hurt feelings. Coolio's a crip, the whole situation could've taken a horrific turn.
