The ‘trans community’: vulnerable victims of violence?

In the struggle for so-called ‘trans rights’, gender ideologists have been asserting for years that ‘the trans community’ (whatever that means) is among the most marginalised in society.

The view from the UK

Giving the UK perspective in October 2021, Madison Smith in The Critic debunks the dodgy statistics at: Neither marginalised, abused nor vulnerable. Debunking a persistent talking point in the trans rights campaign

The narrative that trans people are an extremely vulnerable demographic … is an inversion of the truth designed to posit women as “cis-privileged” whilst casting aside safeguarding, for women and girls.

Arty Morty

Trans people are NOT the most vulnerable people on the planet! is a video by Arty Morty, where he argues that

“… the Transgender Umbrella encompasses a broad and diverse array of people with very little in common with each other. Some people who identify as “trans” are indeed very vulnerable and at high risk of being harmed by dangerous men, but many (perhaps most) would be more accurately described as emotionally fragile …”
