so, tell me, how many trans women have died in the UK last year.

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.

Wow. I know in the trans case they are small numbers of both, but that's quite stark.

My thoughts precisely.

Apparently according to TDR's own stats only one trans woman was murdered in the UK in the last year www.forbes.com/sites/jamiewareham/2019/11/18/murdered-hanged-and-lynched-331-trans-people-killed-this-year/#3417988e2d48

So not really evidence that women talking about the boundaries of female only spaces in this country is causing a rising tide of existential threat to trans women.
