I've noticed that publications use the word "woman" when the person commits a crime, but "trans woman" when the person is a victim of a crime.

It's a way to further the victimhood narrative, while at the same time raising the rate of "female" criminals. It muddies the waters against feminists that want to talk about the reality and disproportionate nature of male violence.

Also, women get beaten, raped, killed every day for being women, the numbers worldwide are probably in the millions, but when someone beats up a single transwoman it's news-worthy and a hate crime. Don't get me wrong, I don't want transwomen or -men to face violence, but to act like trans people are in a special kind of danger that women DON'T ALSO face is wrong, and we didn't choose to live as women.
