So, why cannot you apply this when it comes to trans issues

Because no one is going to die if they mistake me for a woman -.-

Women have no way to know anything of this about you.

Okay so they can continue to just not know that I'm trans

Here's an older article on an example: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/mar/17/sarahhall

C'mon, derrple, there is a reason why you're afraid of men, but not women.

I've been abused more by men, men are more dangerous, I simply don't believe trans women should be tarred with that same assumption of danger once we've also been living under threat of it.

Don't you think that collecting data of trans identified people but not counting certain trans identified people alter the statistics?

If it's to stop people from stirring up transphobia it's imo a good thing.

And yet I've not seen the same level of violence coming from the GC side.

No y'all's is a lot more insidious when it happens. Janice Raymond being almost singlehandedly responsible for the rollback of public health coverage for trans care during the Reagan administration. Magdalen Burns who called trans women blackface actors. Helen Joyce trying to buddy up with Matt Walsh to destroy trans people at any cost even the cost of working with a literal fascist misogynist.

Or, the trans woman who was beaten up at a protest in the UK a few months back.

I won't deny that there are violent trans activists and I will never support violence of any kind. Just that GC is far from saintly.
