Try entering this: women killed in 2017. See what the first page of results looks like. I'll post a screenshot of what I got in a bit.

This is so disturbing. I have literally no idea how to deal with it.

Me too. Imagine putting your kid on hormones, sterilising them, robbing them of a sex life as adults like that poor child Jazz, leaving them with child like genitals that surgery won't fix.

Stonewall says I'm trans. So get it up ya.

What on Earth are you on about? From what you're saying you think anyone who has a trans children puts them through all the surgery/transition as children?? I for one have never come across this.

Are you not aware of the transactivist movement, WhineandDine?

The movement to medicalise children who don't conform to gender stereotypes? Or young adults who are attracted to the same sex?

It's happening, right now.

So you Google women killed in 2017, presumably because you want to know about women killed in 2017, but instead you get pages of hits about trans issues. Now what do you think is wrong with this picture?

My god some of the responses on here

Care to be more specific?

Plenty of posters here do have trans children and from what I can see they are doing a smashing job of supporting their children.

WhineandDine and what would you have to say to the parents of a murdered woman? Don't you think it's extremely disrespectful to them to have their deaths downplayed and negated in this manner? I do.
Just try reversing it. If it was 'transwomen killed in 2017' and you googled it, and there were no transwomen mentioned on the first couple of pages, how do you think that would look?

There is no consideration for the fact the majority of children desist Whine. So therapy and support is geared towards affermative treatment.

So yes, to repeat, I hope I never have a gender confused child. I was a gender confused child, and I escaped a life sentence.

Crime against TIMs is disproportionately represented in those searches, Whine and dine. Someone has been deliberately manipulating the algorithms, or else dead TIMs get a lot more press coverage than dead women, despite being far fewer in number.

Women murdered in 2017 gets one hit out of the whole page of trans focused results.
In 2016 and 18 it's 5 of each.


Why is that? When the number or TIMs killed is vanishingly small in comparison to the number of women?

Obviously, it's shocking for each and every one of these individuals and their families. But statistically there is something off about those results, and it's very troubling for women.

Sorry to be slow that's TIMs?
Fair enough is the annoyance is coming from disproportionate reporting but still, I've seen some fairly abhorrent comments on here- misgendering etc.

Trans identified man. You’re safer as a TIM than any other demographic. Two women a week killed in the U.K. and According to this search, TIMs are more relevant than women? Nah.

Misgendering is interesting, Whine. If I was talking to a trans person, I would use their preferred pronouns though I would expect a little leeway for accidental mistakes. I would do that out of kindness, because I wouldn't want them to feel uncomfortable.

However, a Trans Identifying Man is in fact biologically male, so it would make me very uncomfortable to to use her/she.

I am happy for the TIMs to wear what they like, call themselves what they like, etc. I am not happy for them to displace women from places specifically set aside for women. Not even google search results.

Misgendering comes from a sense of annoyance that posters on here feel when they have reached peak trans - and are being asked to believe transwomen are women - just because they say so - even though they have had no surgery or hormones - so are male-bodied.

Or when they read Shon Faye on Twitter saying "hey women, welcome to your erasure". Or maybe a Labour councillor saying "You've lost, and you'll lose a bit more every day" to women on Twitter. You know, that stuff gets to you after a while.

Most posters say they would always use preferred pronouns in any real life situation out of courtesy.

Because the most commonly used search engine in the world should work properly and not be susceptible to its results being manipulated in this way.
