40 trans women who committed violent crimes against women and children

this is a list of self-identifying transgender women who murdered and/or raped women or children. women with child pornography charges are also included, because consuming child pornography is an act of profound violence.

the purpose of this post is NOT to imply that all trans women are violent criminals, any more than, if they werent women, it wouldnt mean all men do shit this awful. the purpose is to factually dispute the dangerous lie that trans women are inherently incapable of violence against cis women, or anyone else. having that attitude toward any group will enable abusers in it and silence victims of those abusers. it’s important to name a pattern of male violence



preferred pronouns and names of these predators are used on principle in this post (news links contain names associated with the crimes if you are looking for more info on any of them), not because i hold anything but disdain for anyone who commits crimes like these. this list excludes all offenders who are not unambiguously documented in the media as transitioning.
