[quote=Anonymous]This is a hypothetical situation. A college professor does a lesson with the class titled "AMAB violence against AFABs".

The lesson stars with statistics written on the smart board slides which the professor reads aloud such as "1 in 3 AFABs have been a victim of AMAB sexual violence" and "every day around the world, 133 AFABs are killed by an AMAB intimate partner".

The professor then plays the next series of slides. Each slide contains an actual case or sometimes multiple cases of rape, murder, sexual harassment or other violent crimes. Each slide contains a photo and age of the perpetrator, the crime they committed, what they were charged with (if applicable) and the country, city/state or province where they committed the crime, as well as the ages of the victims. Some slides contained photos of the victims.

In all the example cases, the perpetrators were AMAB and age 21+. Most were cis men, some were trans women and some were non-binary. All the victims in the example cases were AFAB and all ages. Most were cis women/girls, some were trans men/boys, some were non-binary and a few were too young to state their gender identity. The professor does not misgender any of the perpetrators or victims in the slides. The professor always uses the preferred pronouns or otherwise the pronouns that match their gender identities. In the end of the lesson, the professor states to the class that AMAB violence against AFABs is a widespread problem that needs to be addressed.[/quote]
