we write this letter as feminist leaders

You are acting against the interest of women for the benefit of men. You are all Judases. You are all the absolute opposite of what a feminist is.

who have been promoting damaging and violent ideas about trans people for years

Facts. They are called facts.

Same offending behaviour, if not worse.

Same physical strength advantage.

Most of them sexually aroused by dressing as a woman.

Virtually none had childhood dysphoria.

Further, all verbal attacks support the ongoing epidemic of murder and violence plaguing Black and Latinx trans women.

They actually have a lower risk of being murdered, believe me challenging that with hard data triggers the crap out of ever TRA around. I got 'the deaths are being missed by the media' as a response. As if.

No, once you take the sex work into account, the homicide rate is lower, you lying gender traitors.

16,400 ish homicides

44 trans or GNC.

16400/44= 372

About 0.3%.

Estimated trans/GNC j. America is 0.6% according to Williams. Actually less likely to die.

Of course they had to get in this BS:

Further, all verbal attacks support the ongoing epidemic of murder and violence plaguing Black and Latinx trans women. 2020 was the deadliest year on record for the transgender community, seeing more than 44 killings, and, so far, there have been at least nine deaths reported this year.

Whilst overlooking the fact that nine female people die of homicide each and every day in the US; almost all are killed by men.

No, once you take the sex work into account, the homicide rate is lower, you lying gender traitors.

You don't even have to take sex work into account to see that the trans/TIM homicide rates are much lower. Just need to compare the homicide rates of the TIMs who are killed to the homicide rates of males of their same age, race, socioeconomic background, history of criminality and incarceration etc who are not trans. Then it becomes clear that TIMs from racial minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds have vastly lower risks of homicide than their non-trans peers. A young black male from a poor, high crime area in the US is much, much less likely to die of homicide if he's trans than if he's not.

Also, whilst many TIM homicides in the US do occur within the context of sex work, that doesn't account for the majority. The largest category of TIM homicides occur in situations of domestic violence between TIMs and their male partners or roommates. Usually, the domestic violence has been longstanding - and the violence between the men has been two-way, meaning the TIMs gave as good as they got. The dynamics of male-on-male DV are very different to the dynamics of male-on-female DV.

The trans lobby want the world to think that the US is overrun with hordes of violent transphobes hunting down TIMs. When in fact, many trans "murders" actually are the result of brutal fights between two violent men well known to one another in which one man ended up dead.
