The only trans people murdered in the UK were murdered by partners during domestic disputes, not for being trans. None have ever been murdered in Ireland. Indeed, in the UK there have been more murderers claiming a ‘trans identity’ than murder victims.
Nobody is driving ‘trans’ people to suicide; that’s a false (and irresponsible) claim. The statistics show that the biggest cause of people on waiting lists for so-called ‘gender care’ committing suicide is because they aren’t being treated for co-morbid mental health issues; which, as it happens, have the same rate in mentally ill people who don’t claim to have a ‘gender identity’. However, post treatment, the suicide rate increases. What does that tell you, Jonathan? That ‘gender identity’ is fake, and that persuading mentally ill people that they have one is the nastiest thing you can do besides then going on to tell them that they are at a high risk of murder and suicide.
We’re supposed to think “all the”=a very large number.
Remembrance Day arose in Great Britain as a response to the unprecedented shock of the four years of slaughter know as The Great War. The first was held on November 11, 1919; it marked the first anniversary of the signing of the Armistice which had brought the war to an end. Part of that commemoration would grow to include a monument known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which was dedicated one year later. There were thousands upon thousands to choose from, “known but to God”, as the war had killed so many on each side, with so many left unidentified. One such unidentified soldier was chosen; he would represent all of those thousands who remained unknown. Other wars, other Unknowns have been added, but this is where it began.
The “Trans Day of Remembrance” rides on the coattails of this solemn commemoration of the destruction of millions of lives for exactly this reason, to fool us into thinking that this beleaguered, oppressed group has suffered a huge, disproportionate loss of life as a result of targeted, bigoted, murderous and genocidal, cruelty, when, statistically speaking, they are one of the safest demographics. Maybe Willoughby could take some time out to read “all” their names*, as MP Jess Phillips does each year in the House of Commons, reciting the names of women killed by men in the preceding 12 months. Her most recent recitation was 109 names long. At the current murder rate of trans identified people, Willoughby will be waiting centuries to come up with a list as long, and it would be cumulative for that entire time span, rather than Phillip’s annual summation, refreshed each year by violent men who see women as disposable. We’re supposed to stop to remember non-existent multitudes of victims in a non-war that has not happened, while women are still waiting for their Armistice.
I believe it was last year that some UK police** force had officers standing in silent tribute to “all” the trans “fallen.” But then they would know, having to clear all those “Adult Human Female” stickers, defusing so many unexploded limericks. And the deadly shrapnel from Tweets! These hard-working, dedicated officers would have first hand knowledge of the innumerable casualties arising from the actual violence of “non hate-crime incidents.” Perhaps they could erect an appropriate monument in time for the next such “commemoration,” a Tomb of the Unreal Soldier.
*Of course all murders are horrible and tragic, but to make us believe that a group that’s remarkably safe from homicide is more than expectedly prone to suffer it is manipulative, emotional blackmail.
**It would be great if UK police forces could be bothered to investigate crimes against women, or at least move them up a little higher on their list of priorities, like say above investigating women who post simple facts such as “Men aren’t women.” And maybe get their officers to stop harassing, raping, and murdering women, too.
Name one, Jonathan.
Oh, you can’t, can you? Because ‘all’ = zero.
