This year, the number of murderers who are transgender is higher in the UK than the number of murder victims.

And then there's attempted murders and current murderers declaring themselves trans while behind bars:

Does the fact that MTFs are victimizers in these obscenely violent criminal acts more frequently than they are victims change how lawmakers will see their claims of eternal victimhood? I doubt it. How many male murderers will have to be given elective surgery at taxpayer expense and housed with women (far less likely to be in prison for violent crime) before someone takes a long, hard look at the reality of the situation?

May I draw people's attention once more to Germaine Bunbury. It's a little known fact, but as well as being a feminist icon, Bunbury also had a career in STEM where she invented a device called the "virtual hide poster" button. May I suggest you install it on your machines

Best thing since sliced bread that.

Transgender prison inmates are more vulnerable:

God it's like Groundhog day. F4 posted that link to the Independent pages up, it got debunked (it even contradicts the other link F4 themselves posted to the BBC fact check - the one that did get the numbers right, but omitted the crucial context that 98% of sex crimes are committed by men). Yet here we are again.

May I draw people's attention once more to Germaine Bunbury. It's a little known fact, but as well as being a feminist icon, Bunbury also had a career in STEM where she invented a device called the "virtual hide poster" button. May I suggest you install it on your machines.

With that in mind, I would like to turn to a much more interesting question - Despicable said she was identifying as an Aston Martin (fine choice, I feel) and I would like to know whether she's a Vantage or your classic Goldfinger style DB5? And if the latter, was she never tempted to wait till she was on a hair-raising mountain road and autonomously deploy the ejection button: "I'm sorry Dave Mr Bond, I just can't do that"?

You have no case. The more I look into it, the less of a case you have.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 14/10/2018 09:26

By my count, said poster has had four posts deleted in this thread. Why they haven't been suspended from MN (I thought it was three deletions in a short period of time and you were out) is a mystery.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 14/10/2018 09:17

Goading more of us into wasting our time playing with it I suspect.

LemonJello · 14/10/2018 09:13

Why are you back? Apart from bumping this thread- thanks for that cos it’s very compelling for our case.

What are you hoping to achieve today?

Ereshkigal · 14/10/2018 09:09

We’ve already been through this.

No we haven't. You have no grounds for saying that the stats are wrong. If you do, show it. If you don't, give it up.

nottakingthisanymore · 14/10/2018 09:02

Is there any common ground of stats we can agree on. For example those on male violence?

Feminist4 · 14/10/2018 08:57

We’ve already been through this.

nottakingthisanymore · 14/10/2018 08:50

How are the stats wrong?

Feminist4 · 14/10/2018 08:45

You are very self-satisfied and smug. You don’t care about how your safe spaces harm others - which they do. Your stats are false to suit your distorted view of the world. It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t pose a danger to others, which you do. Marginalising a group and excluding them with quasi-feminist reasons is a disgrace to womankind.

SophoclesTheFox · 13/10/2018 10:58

Not sure if 4 is still with us, but I just want to check my understanding.

the question was "what do you want to get out of this thread" and your response was "to get you locked up". Is that correct?

That's extraordinary. Why do you think feminists need locked up?

Ereshkigal · 13/10/2018 10:25

They are official figures from a government inquiry.

Ereshkigal · 13/10/2018 10:24

As for your suicide stats. They are tosh. Again. That is not relevant here to my argument.

They are not. Show your evidence otherwise, or give it up.

AngryAttackKittens · 13/10/2018 10:23

Especially a space that excludes men who think I'm evil for wanting it.

Indeed. Is responding to my perfectly reasonable request for privacy and safety by threatening to have me imprisoned meant to make me feel safer and more willing to allow the people who behave that way access to spaces where I'm vulnerable? Really?

LangCleg · 13/10/2018 10:21

Like transwomen are more likely to be murderers than be murdered.

Very useful to know when, for example, planning the prison estate.

Also: when planning for transgender prisoners, it should be noted that about half of them will be either sex offenders or Category A (highest risk).

Datun · 13/10/2018 10:20

The difference in language is very telling.

We are to be locked up, marooned on an island or condemned forever as evil.

Whereas all I want is to maintain a woman only space.

Especially a space that excludes men who think I'm evil for wanting it.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 13/10/2018 10:19

Like transwomen are more likely to be murderers than be murdered.

Repeating this because it needs to be repeated: transwomen are more likely to be murderers than to be murdered. And I'll keep repeating it as needed.

LemonJello · 13/10/2018 10:16

Actually think this thread is quite useful. If you leave it long enough, motivations become clear, even to people who don't speak the language.

Yes. They are desperate to tell us what they really think ie that we are evil and should be locked up.

Whereas we have no such hate. Just cool calm facts.

Like transwomen are more likely to be murderers than be murdered.

Although I'm rather fond of the transphobic U-boat meme. Filing that one away.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 13/10/2018 10:15

Look! It's a U-boat with screen doors.

FloralBunting · 13/10/2018 10:14

Very Newman and Baddiel. "See this Victorian U-boat? That's you, that is"

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 13/10/2018 10:14

Personally, I identify as an Aston Martin. Well, I do today. I might very well identify as something else tomorrow.
