Because the places that women and girls get assaulted and harassed are *normal life*!!! At school. At work. In churches. At sports centres. On dates. In bars. On trains. In lifts. At conferences...

transgirls are girls and not boys. they do not assault other girls at anywhere near the same rate that boys do.
So you keep saying. but i haven't seen any evidence of this. Study in Sweden found that crime rate of transwomen matched male not female pattern (and this was ppl undergoing surgery etc.. not self ID)https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885 …

And the underlying point is that girls should be allowed to say I don't want to sleep in a tent with males. They shouldn't have some authorities calling them names or saying "oh its ok these males are not like that, they're the nice ones". That's not how consent works!

I am deeply disturbed by the incredibly harmful turn this discussion has taken. Had I known you were prepared to raise the false spectre of transwomen commiting violence against ciswomen, when you know that in fact this is *vanishingly rare*, I would never have engaged you.

This study has been misinterpreted (including by you, right now) to the extent that one of the authors spoke out explicitly against that: https://medium.com/@notCursedE/do-trans-women-retain-male-pattern-violence-df67954373fd …

Thank you I've read the links. This is what the paper says. I don't think I am misinterpreting it. Also this is a study of transsexuals receiving medical care (& suggests mental health support important). Self ID does not require any medical diagnosis or support.pic.twitter.com/xmVR6vMr9E
