I mean, the "no need to explain" bit in theory is nice. If you reject someone you don't need to tell them why. Not telling why makes the situation less awkward for both of you.

But let's be honest: do people really get told why they're rejected outright, or do they keep pushing until they get a reasoning? Even outside of the trans issue, I've seen many threads on Reddit about gay men complaining about being rejected on dating apps... And it really feels like they were trying to find reasons, that a simple rejection with no need to explain wasn't enough for them.

People with dignity and self-respect usually just accept a no without humiliating themselves, I think.

That's probably why that user added the part about taking rejections politely without demanding an explaination, because you're right, people absolutely push for one.
