"Facts are chaps that won't be beaten", nearest I can get.

Me neither! Transactivism at its foot shooting finest.

Ha! I often don't bother reading threads until there are a few responses to make it worth my while so adding my thanks to the chorus.

WineCheers Mish!

You need to be careful Mish - transes is an offensive way of describing trans people, and as of Monday I’ll be able to report you to Police Scotland because I read your post in Scotland.

I think you might be right. I'm sure that there has been research indicating that the statistics on violence against transgender individuals are massively skewed because they are overrepresented in dangerous occupations such as sex work, particularly in South America.
Maybe it's time to start investigating if that is the case and, if so, identifying and resolving the problems which lead to those people being in that vulnerable position.
If anyone has evidence on the above, I'd appreciate them sharing it. I read this a while ago so it may no longer be correct.

Dunno, sounds a bit SWERFy to me...

...is this "trans genocide" in the room with us right now?

MishyJDI · 29/03/2024 20:40

Yep. Single focus issue. How about the NHS and the economy? Oh no! Let's scapegoat and fearmonger - it's the transes! Jesus wept.

Well considering this is what the greens, libdems and Labour and banging on about constantly (it’s another flag day coming up I see) then yes I agree.

Belt up and get on with trying to lower drug death rate, increase literacy, improve hospitals… you know, that kind of thing…

Thanks Mishy,I'd have missed this thread and the article if you hadn't bumped it.

Igmum · 31/03/2024 20:51

Great article - always good to see the Mishy top ten - and very reassuring to know that trans people are safe in Scotland

Helleofabore · 31/03/2024 22:01

Brilliant.. Thanks for bumping the thread Mishy! Wouldn't have caught it otherwise.

What's great is I had totally forgotten I had even made this thread. Then Mishy reminded me. Not even joking.

Gosh Mishy thanks for bringing this reassuring article to my attention. I'm sure you're as disappointed as I am that the SNP seems to have got the wrong end of the stick on this matter.

What a relief, trans people are safe in Scotland

HoneyButterPopcorn · 31/03/2024 23:01

Safest demographic in most places. Cry for women and children (especially girls) why don’t you?

crunchermuncher · 31/03/2024 23:03

Great article, nearly missed it too!

Datun · 31/03/2024 23:54

Mishy would have to be trawling mumsnet searching on keywords 'Trans genocide' to get to this thread.

What a way to live.
