Would it also count as a horrible underhanded lie that most women in the magazines (which also involves money changing hands) are photoshopped in various ways, and are portrayed and advertised as "perfection" when in fact no woman can be perfect (simply because there is no such thing as perfection)?

I can see your point, but it seems a bit specific to TG. Most companies have a Privacy Policy, and even without that, there's the fact that Gender is a protected status that cannot be the basis for employment. Now, that is to say, that not only is she not required to say what she may or may not have been in terms of gender, it also means the company can't legally ask that anyways. Therefore you point of this all being based on a lie would be null, wouldn't it?
