[quote=Anonymous]As a woman I don’t like it when, for example, any AMAB violence against AFABs is represented as “female against female” violence, regardless of the gender identity of the perpetrator. For example, there have been some pretty egregious crimes committed by trans women in female prisons against AFAB prisoners. These are especially egregious because IMO those particular perpetrators should not have been in a women’s prison to begin with.

However, trans women AMABs committing violence on AFABs are a pretty small number of people and a small percentage of AMABs committing violence on AFABs overall. So it would be hard for the presentation to not seem like the trans women AMABs were cherry-picked to make a point unless the presentation had thousands of examples, which would be an absurdly long presentation. So it would be hard for such a presentation not to appear transphobic, or at least having to be bent and twisted to try to make a point that would be better made another way.
