“The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic, because in arithmetic there is knowledge, but in theology there is only opinion.” — Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays (via philosophybits)

Anti-transgender hate crimes up by a third in one year -
There were 1,651 reports of anti-transgender hate crime in the past year, up from 1,248 in 2017. The data also showed that anti-trans hate crimes are more likely to be violent offences than for any other hate crime category.
A spokesperson for transgender non-profit Gendered Intelligence said: “It is extremely alarming to learn that anti-transgender hate crime has increased by almost a third since last year, and almost doubled since 2015-16.
“We feel that over the past year the mainstream media has contributed to a hostile environment for trans people, and trans women in particular, that may have emboldened those who have committed these crimes.
“Taking into account the huge number of race- and religion-related hate crime incidents, trans people of colour are particularly at risk.”
The TERF-media-evangelical alliance has blood on their hands. Opposing legal rights for trans people may be the stated aim of their current anti-trans campaign but this is their implicit goal along with it, to incite violence and harassment against us until it is no longer safe to exist in public.
