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.
