What are T***s and why has Cambridge's Student's Union publishes a guide to spotting them?

Sorry, I see Jellyslice has already put the question out there.

What constitutes a hate crime? Are they verbal and/or physical crimes? Are these crimes committed by the same individuals against the same individuals or are they all unrelated. This is a genuine question if anyone else is able to shed any light. I'm certainly not condoning hate of any form I'm just trying to get a sense of what hate crime statistics mean.

What @JellySlice said.

What @joolzfromyork said

In 2019 in Cambridgeshire alone, transphobic hate crimes have risen by 271% since 2015.

Depends on what you define as a hate crime. Not only is "I don't believe in what you believe" not a hate crime, it is a position protected in law, just as the belief in transgenderism is protected in law.

The guide is to ensure movements in the University are safe and inclusive for everyone

Given that over 95% of violence is committed by males, the way to ensure safety and inclusivity for everyone is by addressing make violence, not by suppressing freedom of speech and expression.

This form of feminism excludes transgender people

How so? Transmen are included in feminism.

that can lead to real endangerment for transgender and non-binary people.

I refer you to my point about the perpetrators of the vast majority of violence. Differences of opinion are not endangerment.

I will say I’m at least pleased they said sex is biologically determined at birth!

Interesting that you chose

Have a good day

And yet any actual violence against trans people is committed by..
Men!
But somehow we hurt them merely by existing.

From the first article: "In 2019 in Cambridgeshire alone, transphobic hate crimes have risen by 271 per cent since 2015."

Given that just about everything other than total unwavering and unquestioning acceptance of everything trans-related falls into the 'transphobic' category, I can't say I'm surprised.

Incidentally, some minority groups have been remarkably successful in hijacking the word phobia (fear of). 'Phobic' in this context now means anyone who questions or disagrees with.

The real 'transphobics', ironically, are the very companies and organisations who are so scared of not being seen as inclusive to 'trans' that they withdraw ads from MN or allow biological males into female toilets and changing areas.

Well they can fuck off and then fuck off some more.

I wonder if they'd tell REAL women and victims of male violence that they were bigots for not wanting a man in their segregated spaces.
I am seething at this.

Are getting on with their studies and not party to this nasty idiocy.

Can I post the Emma Thompson Footlights College picture from The Young Ones yet, or is that too risky?

So arguments are risky now.....

yes, everything that isn't Rainbow approved is now risky.
