[quote=Anonymous]It's misogyny. It's splitting unnecessary hairs.

Listen: trans women are women. A subset of women. When you're talking about them being victims of domestic violence, or violence done by men, they're women.

Listen: trans women are men. A subset of men. When you're talking about the violence acts they commit against other women, trans or not.

Both of these statements are true. Obfuscating this with jargon like "Amab" is dangerous because it adds a level of remove to the simple fact that's been true since the beginning of time: the majority of physical crimes against women are committed by men.

Why? A good question with many answers, and one for which no one has established any solution.

It's also true that a great deal of the time, trans men are men when they commit violence, and women when they are victims.

Does this logic explain every violent incident? Of course not. Nothing about violence, or gender id absolute. All we can do is look at patterns and statistics. [/quote]
