Have a good look at see what you think

Absinthe Maybe just straight up 'woman in a dress' sans emoji could be the new euphemism!

Don't forget the crime statistics reporting 6 'women' as having been convicted of rape last year. Funnily enough people can only identify one named woman convicted under joint enterprise - the details of the others seem to have vanished into the ether. Discussed here:

But remember "This never happens"

In plain sight.

Depends where you get your info from but as a % yes.

Ugh, that's difficult to watch.

...and yes, exactly the kind of people you want in your intimate spaces.

Now imagine if violence against women was comsidered a hate crime...

Statistical what would the answers be then...

Are 2 trans people killed a week then?

I NEVER said that the attack was in any way justified.

I said that the 'maybe they were misgendered, tee hee' comments were not needed.

TBH if I was a witness and on the phone to the police, I would say ‘there’s a gang of blokes in dresses beating the holy crap out of a young man’.

Norther - that might work... Nothing to object to there, surely?!

One rather weedy looking young man against 4 significantly larger male people and you think that was an attack in which the group were in danger? Really?

Grandma! What great legs you have!

All the better to stamp you to death with, my dear!

James O'Brien will be having the poor poppets on his show shortly to ask them what the nasty man had done to upset them.

We have to be able to talk about it. The attackers were not female.

After a ten minute pity party from each of the attackers and reminders to the listener that trans people are the most oppressed people ever.

I just rang The Sun news desk to query their reporting of this incident.
I flagged up male violence being attributed to women/ women's crime statistics.
He seemed sympathetic and understanding of what I was saying.
I included Man Friday, Mermaids/ Yorkshire police force links/ the harassment of Posie Parker.
Girl Guiding/ Swim England.
Female toilets in schools and colleges being eradicated.
Oh and Topshop changing rooms policy too.

Maybe JO'B could have a word with his daughter first to get some sensible advice on whether violent men ought to be referred to a violent men.

Interesting how few of FWR’s, uh, newer posters are contributing to this thread.

Meanwhile on another thread snappity is suggesting all self identifiers should be recorded as female crimes to be completely accurate.

@BesmirchingMotherhood If you are referring to me, I'm a longtime lurker. You can check my posting history.
I went to the Women's Place London meeting 5 minute walk from Tottenham Court Road Tube.
I am also well known with London mumsnetters as I go to all our London meet ups.
I lurk on feminist boards, because I'm not as clued up as most of you.

I hadn't thought about how the crime figures will be skewed by self-identification. 😳
This feels so unbelievably unjust.

No, not you Finn - I’m talking about the posters who have been very very active of late but who are strangely absent from this thread.

And I think I must have x posted with you anyway, because calling the Sun is brilliant work.

Transwomen that are not sex workers are not more at risk from violence than woman and girls

@BesmirchingMotherhood Ah I see, it's understandable that you're being hyper vigilant, with what's been going on.
The Sun news desk number is: 02077824100 if anyone else wants to get them to clarify their reporting and put our side across.
