Honestly not to sound completely dismissive*, but everything that gets listed as discrimination or abuse against trans people applies to every other “marginalized” community. And it happens to members of those other communities significantly more frequently.

The only exception being the mental health aspect, but being a female, a poc, lgb etc aren’t mental illnesses and being trans is so I think it makes sense that the mental health of a community attempting to hold everyone who isn’t a member hostage to their illogical beliefs and invasive wants might be something the rest of us want to discuss.

*im not saying that the crimes/discrimination against trans people doesn’t happen or doesn’t matter, nor am I saying that being trans doesn’t potentially open someone up to risk of violence/discrimination. All I’m saying is that trans people are drastically safer than other marginalized communities and despite this, they have more protective measures and laws in place than those of us in communities that are actually experiencing high levels of crime/discrimination against us…

As far as I know the more vulnerable group of trans identified people are the ones involved in prostitution, but prostitution being a dangerous activity is unsurprising. Yet TRA are mainly in the "sex work (sic) is work" camp...

Even amongst sex workers trans people experience less (reported/discovered, to be fair) violence than sex workers who aren’t trans. So even in the area where their death rate is highest, it’s still lower than for others.

I guess so. It seems some find prostitution "validating" despite all the shit that comes with it, which is something I can't really understand...

The tras and their idiot liberal allies (as opposed their run of the mill liberal allies) think sex work is work because they only see women as sex objects. A woman scientist sounds like a "sexy woman scientist" halloween costume to them. "oh, a real woman scientist. wow! progress. She doesn't have to be a sex worker if she doesn't want."

The sex work is work nonsense helped me realize, as Scary Terry said on a Rick and Morty episode: "sex is sacred." It's not work
