I'm trying not to have an argument on Twitter, so here's the tweet:

*The thing that always blows me away about the gender critical/terfs is how callous they are. Yes, it is theoretically possible that cis-gender men could use self-id into women’s bathrooms

But we know that trans women are already dying. Why doesn’t these women’s suffering matter?*

Which is part of a longer thread here (don't bother, it's very self-absorbed)

My immediate and very basic research suggests that one trans woman was murdered in the UK in 2018, while approx 129 women died from domestic violence. God alone knows how many others were murdered.

But its fine to increase women's risk, because - well actually, i don't know why the fuck it is.

Here's channel 4 fact-checking the trans murder rate,and finding it lower than average.

Coda: trans murder in America is much worse, but that's not here.

3rd rule of misogyny: Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and selfish.

5th rule of misogyny: Women and Feminism must be useful to men or they are worthless.

More fit, probably, but I can't be bothered to c&p.

and the TW murdered there I'm told, are prostitutes, which is a very high risk status
