Nope.

That's a weak rebuttal, it relies on the claim that there could be hundreds upon hundreds of trans-identifying males imprisoned that no-one knows about.

Also see this: https://wingsoverscotland.com/the-rorschach-test/

It explains how additional data including from later years, and from New Zealand, supports the observation that these men are more likely to be in prison for sex crimes than men in general, and much, much more likely than actual women.

Wiepjes 2018 is the study I was referring to in my comment.

Trans-identifying males have the same patterns of criminality as other males. The ones in prison are even more likely to have been locked up for sex crimes, when compared to other men in prison.

That's unfortunate that you were a victim of random violence, but it doesn't support your claim that there are mobs roaming around targeting trans people. That is a paranoid fantasy that isn't backed up by any evidence.

Now pull up the statistics for genuine women and see how they compare. You'll find it's much, much worse. But no-one pushing this transgender ideology gives a shit about actual female women do they, only the special ones with cocks and sob stories about how hard it is pretending to be a woman.

> This is a completely imagined problem.

No it is not. I'm a bit surprised you have missed the news on this influx of males into women's spaces, to be honest, given how confident you are that this isn't happening. It's one of the most controversial cultural issues in the public eye right now. And many, many women are quite rightly furious about it.

The worst is prisons. Males are being incarcerated in women's prisons and committing sexual assaults, rapes and impregnations upon the women locked up with them.

> You're mistaking sex & gender here. They are indeed quite separate concepts. Perhaps this is why you're apparently resistant to accepting trans people as the gender they present themselves as?

They can present however they want, that is not the issue. The problem is males imposing themselves on female-only spaces. Their claims of identity are irrelevant, they shouldn't be there at all.

Males commit the vast majority of sexual offences, murders and other violent crimes. We are talking over 80%-90%.

This is why we have sex-segregated spaces like locker rooms, bathrooms and prisons, to reduce the risk to women from violent and sexually abusive men. It's nothing at all like black people being forced to use different bathrooms - this is a segregation that almost all women want to remain in place.

It is also a safety issue in contact sports if males are allowed to compete with women.

I hope you feel better now you got all that nonsense off your chest.

Sometimes people register new accounts so they don't get doxxed for dissenting on controversial topics.

So, no mobs then, and mostly people working in prostitution - a notoriously dangerous occupation in itself.
