Let’s isolate and compare statistics only within trans identified people. Trans men are still more likely than trans women to be the victims of a violent crime- in fact, according to that study, trans men, female nonbinary people and “cis” women are all more likely to be assaulted than trans women or male nonbinary people (i.e., “transfemmes”). Unfortunately there have not been any studies on trans intracommunal violence which explicitly names both the perpetrator and the victim; however, simply going off of aforementioned statistics with regards to trans women’s rate of violence versus trans men’s, I would venture to say that trans women are more likely to commit violence against trans men (rather than vice versa). Even isolated within trans spaces, trans women follow male patterns of violence while trans men experience female patterns of victimization. The reality of this is obscured through studies that either conflate the experiences of trans women and trans men, or that neglect to inspect patterns of violence between the two.
I have tried to be as clear and concise in all of this thus far, because no one told me these things when I was trans identified. I wish someone had. None of this is hate speech. None of this is cherry picking. These are the statistics that have been backed up time and again. I have not misgendered anyone- however, I would pose a question at the end of all of this that some would consider hateful. If trans men, female nonbinary people and women share an axis of oppression- being female- then wouldn’t it be more helpful to articulate our experiences in common terms? Not in dehumanizing or inaccessible jargon (i.e., “people with cervixes”), not in terms that strip us of our ability to name our own bodies (“frontal holes”), but as women. Women who experience the material reality of our biology in vastly different ways, women who have varied and unique feelings toward our bodies and how we are treated for them, women who dress and act in myriad of ways. Women who are women, not because of how we feel, act, dress, or live, but because we are adult human females. I would also pose another question: is it helpful to call a male a woman who behaves like a male, is treated as a male and who oppresses women like all other males? If you hate read this whole post, I’d encourage you to really consider this before blocking me or replying with the calming mantra “Trans women are women”: who benefits from allowing men to call themselves something they are not? Who benefits from allowing men to redefine the words that describe women’s lived experiences; our reality?

“If defending female autonomy means being ‘anti-trans’ to you, then you’ve just clarified that your 'pro-trans’ objective is the subjugation of females…[T]his applies even if you think of yourself as a feminist. Lose the idea that female boundaries are up for debate.”
