To add:

Just in the sexual violence area alone from June 2021 to present: Over 68% of trans commit acts of forced sexual violence (rape, sometimes referred to as Intimate Partner Violence [IPV]) against LGBTQ+ people, and 47% of trans commit acts of forced sexual violence (rape) against non-LGBTQ+ people and more than half of those are committed against children age 14 and younger.]]></description>

Correction for: &quot;...(a lot of them multiple incidents perpetrated by a single individual)...&quot;

&quot;...(a lot of them multiple incidents perpetrated by individuals)...&quot;

Clarification: Many individual trans people have committed multiple acts of violence over time, especially against others in the LGBTQ+ community. Many of these are not known publicly because the media doesn&#039;t cover them. Like, ~50% of trans in the country have sex-crimes convictions and it wasn&#039;t known until a specific study focused on that area of crime was done.

Its like criminal gang member crime - many of the individuals in gangs have committed multiple acts of violence over time and these are not known publicly because the media doesn&#039;t cover them. Its not until specific studies or research is done that this becomes known.]]></description>

Left wing Trans violence: Behold the Violence Inherent in the System.

ht* tps://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/02/13/behold-the-violence-inherent-in-the-system-n3811875

in addition from other research and records:

If trans violence includes threats by trans to commit violent acts, including threatening murder and rape and child abduction and child rape, in this authors time frame of 2024 to date, there have been more than 7,000,000 recorded instances of videoed threats of such by trans people (including identifying as non-binary trans) on social media thus if threats constitute violence those threats alone for this time frame are more than 7,000,000 acts of violence by trans people.

The fact of relying on FBI records is a trick used by the LGBTQ+ community to deceive. Its a trick because to be included in FBI stats and reports certain conditions have to be fulfilled - for example - there has to have been an arrest AND prosecution AND conviction, then the information has to come from a jurisdiction that reports ALL information to the FBI and only ~40% of the country does. But if we start to look at the reporting alone, with arrests, even if there is no conviction (i.e. due to a diversion pre-trial or probation, sometimes a dismissal on technical procedural grounds, a victim recants out of fear of retribution, victim leaves town thus not around to testify, or in some blue jurisdictions sometimes victims threaten by city with prosecution to keep them from moving forward with prosecution, etc...) but was a prosecution effort, if we do that we find more than 18,000,000 incidents (a lot of them multiple incidents perpetrated by a single individual) of trans (including perpetrators identifying non-binary trans) perpetrator &#039;hands-on&#039; violence from June 2021 to present day.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This liberal also has to show yet another issue with left wingers - the lack of logic and use of confirmation bias to tell lies to color perception that satisfies them they then see as truth.

For example, from her missive at the link there is this:

&quot;Afterward, another agent dismissed her as “that lesbian bit*ch.” The message was not subtle. Her sexuality was deployed to justify her killing, casting her as a queer agitator who had been put in her place.&quot;

This is a lie, and here is why its a lie...

To substantiate this, this liberal writer includes a link to a left wing &#039;media&#039; source article which is titled to indicate such a statement. But its not until later in that article we find out where this statement really came from - its from an anti-ICE protestor named &#039;Skye&#039; who claimed to be a marine corp veteran and claims that an agent said &#039;...this is why we killed that lesbian bit*ch.&#039;

The claimed statement supposedly from a federal agent never happened, Skye, it turns out, is not a marine corp veteran.   

There are these little subtle &#039;sprinklings&#039; of this &#039;lie&#039; issue with left wingers all through this liberals missive. A hint here and there, just enough to &#039;sway perception&#039;, for example, this:

&quot;Discords and subreddits for queer and trans gun enthusiasts have boomed, especially as anti-LGBTQ+ violence has proliferated. In 2024, hate crimes targeting trans people were up 31 percent from 2021, and those targeting gay and bisexual people were up 14 percent. That year’s tally—1,950 crimes based on sexual orientation and 463 based on gender identity—was second only to 2023’s in all FBI-recorded history. Right-wing and white-nationalist agitators have become an increasingly reliable presence at Pride festivals and drag events, casting an intimidating pall over spaces that once seemed like safe havens.&quot;

She implies/says all this &quot;anti-LGBTQ+&quot; targeting and violence is from &quot;Right-wing and white-nationalist&quot; and &quot;anti-LGBTQ+&quot; - what she does not tell you is that in her claimed time frames over 97% of that violence &#039;hate crimes&#039; against LGBTQ+ was from LGBTQ+ (including those in the &#039;LGBTQ+ community supporters&#039;) people against LGBTQ+ people.

Then there is this example:

&quot;Some Republicans have used this shift in rhetoric to stoke anti-trans animosity, spreading vicious and easily debunked rumors about the prevalence of trans killers.&quot;

And she links to an article that writes about it in more recent context concentrating on just the ones that identify as opposite their birth sex. She focuses on mass/school shooters but what she does not tell you is that trans killers and violent trans are pretty much common now, and (collectively) as a demographic proportion of population, commit violent acts (including murder, and especially sex-crimes where ~50% of the trans population has a sex-crime conviction) at a rate more than 100 times greater than any other demographic proportion of population (and more than 90% of it is trans-on-trans or trans-on-others in the LGBTQ+ community - for example, its pretty common now for a trans kid in a family to act violently towards other family members that support them and its hidden from view because it either is not reported or when it is reported to police its charged under a &#039;domestic violence&#039; type charge and the trans part is not revealed). Then she and the linked article do not take into account the &#039;non-binary&#039; which are also trans.

Her whole missive is full of these little &#039;sway perception lies&#039; - this is typical left wing.]]></description>
