1. Can you provide a source for point 4? This contradicts what I’ve read. 2. Can you explain how “transandrophobia” is different from general transphobic and misogynistic elements in society?

Big thanks to you for sharing this. I looked and looked for comparison information about domestic violence (instead of just sexual assault) a couple months ago and hit a wall.

So glad you did- I even tried emailing TransEquality to see if I could get access to the raw data from their 2015 survey and find out the comparisons in that, but at least so far that avenue hasn't born fruit.
