Stats on violent assault - trans people

[ItsCoolForCats]

I frequently see stats bandied about and claims made on social media that trans people are much more likely to be the victim of violent assault than 'cis' people. For example, here is Helen Webberley claiming that "...trans people are 4 x more likely to be victim of violent assault than cisgender people, just because of their identity". https://www.reddit.com/r/transgenderUK/comments/1natr6o/graham_linehan_arrest_setting_piers_morgan/

Does anyone know where they are getting these stats from, as I rarely see a source referenced.

I wasn't implying anyone being disrespectful by the way, I just meant I'd appreciate it if you referred to me as she, though I'll respect this is your space to express beliefs and thus you can use whatever language you wish.

I wish you all a lovely night.

In turn, I'm sure you can appreciate that asking people to lie is not appropriate or respectful.

Nope. You are male and we will refer to you as such. I’m sorry if you don’t like that but reality - like biological sex - is immutable.
