The Home Office said the overall fall in the figures could be linked to interim guidance published last year which “may have led to greater scrutiny of the threshold of what constitutes a criminal offence of public fear, alarm or distress”.

However its report noted: “Transgender issues have been heavily discussed by politicians, the media and on social media over the last year, which may have led to an increase in these offences, or more awareness in the police in the identification and recording of these crimes.”

...

“These statistics show there has been an overall reduction in hate crimes recorded by police, and the numbers of sexual orientation, race and disability hate crimes all fell.

“Whilst the increase in transgender hate crime may be due to a genuine rise, the biggest driver is likely to be general improvements in police recording.”

Hate crimes against transgender people hit record high in England and Wales

Increase of 11% in recorded incidents may be due to comments in media and by politicians, says Home Office report

Did @Moglet4 come back with an acceptable number to this post? Did I miss it?

I will repost it here. And maybe moglet will answer. Or maybe someone else will. Anyone can answer. Even those who say zero!

Here was the post:

While you are here moglet, because you feel that the examples are 'extremely rare' could you please tell us on the thread how many girls and women you feel is acceptable collateral to be harmed by allowing a male person with a trans identity into any female single sex space?

Is it 1? Because well, we have past that number long ago.
Is it 2? same as above.
10?
50?
100?
1000?

We had a poster the other day on FWR tell us that they felt that an established trend of around 100 girls and women per year are acceptable to be sexually abused until we should be able to discuss these issues and campaign to ban all males in single sex space?

Do you agree?

That would be at least 500+ girls and women that should consider themselves acceptable in that poster's eyes to be harmed before they felt we could act.

What do you think? do you agree?
