What's sad is the amount of ""woman"" on women rape and violence registered in forensic databases is going up since many trans women are no longer being registered as men.

Yes, this really frightens me. How it's going to be used to further stigmatize lesbians, of course... and also as ammo against women's need for single-sex spaces/protection from male violence. Because if we women are just a bunch of brutal thugs ourselves, men must not really pose any threat to us, right? Hell, it might just as easily be the other way around! So when yet another dude-with-ladyfeelz is caught being predatory in the women's restroom, it'll be dismissed with, "well, that's just what you gals are like, after all!" :(

Ughhhhhh. And all this just fuels stereotypes about lesbian women even more. We're one of the most erased demographics at this point... it drives me insane.
