Special trans taxi services to keep them safe

Hey BBC, where's our front-page promoted article and video interview about all the things women have done for and by each other, for centuries, to stay safe in public? No?

The "look at poor ickle us suffering from these things nobody has ever had to worry about before" is so infuriating. We have been living this shit forever.

Damn 😂

Kark I totally understand if you prefer not to answer, which is fine.

And I’m sorry you were sexually assaulted by a woman aged 17 Flowers

I was wondering, when you said earlier that you have been /attacked/ by many women in real life due to /environments/ you have been in, what did you mean? Was it physical assault or women not accepting you in that environment or sexual assault, for example? Or something else?

To recap

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:11

Men commit the vast majority of sex crimes

Karkasaurus · 07/09/2019 20:11

It's not at all rare for women to be violent. You've only got to have a basic knowledge of the criminal justice system to know that.

RosesAndRaindrops · 07/09/2019 20:11

Why should she have to go into details of her assault? An assault's an assault.

Single sex taxi services for women is a good thing

I keep coming across this thread and I cannot stop thinking about The League of Gentlemen.

Sorry.

Ereshkigal · 07/09/2019 20:12

It is relatively rare. Compared with the male sex class. There's no getting away from it.

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:12

It is very rare that women commit sexual assaults

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:13

Transwomen represent the same risk as other men

RosesAndRaindrops · 07/09/2019 20:13

Still happens though, and it's shit to minimise them

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:13

Men will pretend all sorts of things to access women

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:14

A female taxi service is not a female taxi service if it includes transwomen

Earlywalker · 07/09/2019 20:14

I don’t think girl gangs are rare, certainly not where I grew up! It’s all perspective.
I’ve been beaten up by more women than men (in my youth!)
But sexually assaulted by men, never women.
Others have different experiences which shape how they view risk.
We know which class poses more risks as a whole, but our person opinions depends on our own experiences.
Flowers for anyone affected.

Karkasaurus · 07/09/2019 20:15

I was attacked in an upstairs room at a party. I don't think there was anything inherently dangerous about the party, but I perhaps should have had somewhere safer to sleep.

I've been in care and also lived in hostels. I have been attacked by both males and females, but certainly more females than males. I think it's more of a class issue to be brutally honest.

Ereshkigal · 07/09/2019 20:15

Saying that it's rare isn't minimising. It is. It's just a fact. Like the other pertinent fact that MTF trans people are biologically male, and pose the same statistical risk to women as any other male.

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:16

people on here have no problem with a trans friendly taxi service in New York. If that is what they want then fine.

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:16

Women do have a problem with being denied safe single sex spaces

Ereshkigal · 07/09/2019 20:17

We know which class poses more risks as a whole, but our person opinions depends on our own experiences.

Yes. Absolutely. There's only one group of people being told they are irrational for fearing being attacked and being wary though.

Birdsfoottrefoil · 07/09/2019 20:17

We also have a problem with crimes committed by men being recorded as if they were committed by women
