Unless we're talking about real crime recorded by the police (not words), I wouldn't trust that either. Stonewall in the UK faked a 'hate crimes surge' based on surveys and Tweets of non-crimes.

The guidelines define a hate incident as "any non-crime incident which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice against a person who is transgender or perceived to be transgender". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-51501202
