Quick/lazy plea for help with stats sources

NC for this as reasonably identifiable with usual username and want to avoid any backlash.

The main item on my organisation's intranet at the moment is a big piece on Trans Day of Remembrance. It uses the usual exclusionary and science-denying terminology ("sex assigned at birth") and references Stonewall and similar reports and surveys for its stats (e.g. "41% of trans people experienced a hate crime over previous 12 months"). What makes this even more annoying is that my organisation is healthcare-related and prides itself on being evidence-based!

We do have a mechanism to feedback anonymously and I want to use this to point out the factual errors or shortcomings in their source data in this piece. However I am actually at work today so although I have some sources to hand, I don't have time to seek out sources for the points I want to touch on below. Would any kind MNers with a bit of time to spare today be able to link to the source data for the following:

No trans people killed in UK for being trans in past 3 years

Anything evidencing conflation of 'hate crime' with 'hate incidents'

Evidence that much-relied-on suicide data was based on 27 self-selecting respondents

Also we're being pointed to GLAAD for certain trans-friendly hints and tips, which seems unusual for a UK-based organisation. Are they a sound neutral resource on this subject? If not, any evidence to the contrary would be useful.

I do need to incorporate factual links - ONS etc - to have a chance of being taken seriously - blogs, opinion pieces, MN threads won't cut it I'm afraid.

TIA and sorry for being lazy on this! Cake to anyone able to help (and an extra large slice for Arabella who I suspect is still on her vigil...)
