Anonymous Hey, I'm new to radical feminism. I recently discovered it and realise how my previous liberal feminist ideologies were wrong. I am still learning about things such as gender and sex. How would you approach the violence geared towards trans women? I do realise they are not female, and have been raised differently, but they are still murdered with almost no regard for their life. I am conflicted because I don't want to encourage their delusions, but I still don't want them to be killed.

I wish I knew where the hell this claim came from. Trans women are not murdered at a higher rate or with “no regard for their life” than women are. Trans people are, what? Less than 1% of the population on earth? Not even 1% of people are trans. Women are 50% of the population on earth. Please tell me who is murdered more frequently?

Like murder in any example is horrific but the idea that trans women are living a life of peeking around corners and clutching their pearls and only going outside in the daylight hours is like…. absurd and ridiculous.

Also who is doing the violence? It’s male on male violence. Let’s deal with the males enacting the violence, how about? Instead of coming at feminists and crying “what about the men!!!!”



I’m far more concerned with the rates of violence, abuse, and rape that women suffer.
