FFS....I really despair...

But the replies to this are mostly fabulous

@AnxiousAndUnraveling - absolutely. The activists want them categorised as women so they will never know. Its the same as that daft person in the Green Party telling people to not record their gender and sex separately in the census - so no statistics on anything to do with TWs so they erase themselves????

"How do you know that it's rare to pass well enough to be fully stealth?"

Stealth - cautious and surreptitious action or movement, a deliberate attempt to access areas which would not be available to them under normal and legal means.
If even one transgender person had been murdered in the past year or two, then everyone would have heard about it, possibly resulting in a month of mourning.
Suffice to say, that thankfully none were murdered, which doesn't make it any easier for the relations and friends of hundreds of women who were murdered.
Please do not keep trying to appropriate the grief of these people.

I believe that in the last ten years or so 2 Transwomen were tragically murdered. I think gingernaut may be referring to the 12 or it might be 13 transwomen convicted of murder in the UK during this period

My apologies I made a mistake regarding the numbers of transwomen killed. I only gave the numbers of those killed by a partner, but there have been another 7 transwomen who have tragically lost their lives killed by men.

@picklemewalnuts

Thank you for clarifying that.

Pretty strange given that this is apparently 'Terf Island' that thankfully very few trans people are murdered. And if no-one knows they were trans as some inane PP is trying to suggest, it's v unlikely they died as a result of transphobia. So a stupid point to make really.

No worries. It was a perfectly reasonable suspicion in the current climate, but we don't want to add to the confusion!

@WeeBisom

Out of interest, has there been any cases where a transwoman was murdered by a male in the last 12 months in the UK? Are there even any names to read out?

No, there were none the year before either but why let facts get in the way.
