==No Trans People Murdered in UK in 2020, so Just Ignore All the Harassment and Threats==
* {{show/tweet|JoolzDenby|1330180249548623875|2020-11-21 11:04|No transpeople were murdered in the UK this year or last. NONE. Let that sink in. You are being lied to and gaslighted in a huge and unforgivable way. Trans is the safest of all social categories. Why aren’t they celebrating that?}}

So, you know, we should just ignore the fact that [https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-54486122 transphobic hate crime reports have quadrupled over the past five years in the UK]. It's fine.

		+	A later tweet cites 241 as the number of women and girls murdered in 2019. The total trans population is [https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/721642/GEO-LGBT-factsheet.pdf estimated] to be between 200k and 500k, out of a total population of 66,796,807 ({{l/wp\|Demography of the United Kingdom}}... let's round that down to 66.7M), or .003 (0.3%) to 0.0075 (0.75%) of the population, with women and girls being about 51% of the population, then the corresponding murder rate for trans people would be about:
		+
		+	: est. number of women+girls in the UK: 66.7 x 0.51 =~ 34M
		+	: murder rate of women+girls per capita: 241 / 34M = 0.0000071
		+	: number of trans people who would be murdered annually with a per-capita murder-rate of 0.0000071:
		+	:: lower population estimate (200k): 200k x 0.0000071 = ~1.4
		+	:: upper population estimate (500k): 500k x 0.0000071 = ~3.55
		+
		+	Now, how many of those are actually reported as being trans people? Are there official stats kept anywhere? This source says no: [https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-how-many-trans-people-murdered-uk How many trans people are murdered in the UK?], but we can make some guesses: "According to these figures, there was one trans person murdered in the UK in that time, and a total of nine trans people were murdered in the UK between 2008 and 2017. That’s an average rate of one victim per year.]
		+
		+	This source says the number for women+girls is actually 241: [https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/homicideinenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2019 Homicide in England and Wales: year ending March 2019] -- so the above calculations need to be revised a bit, and we probably end up at about 1 per year -- ''roughly the same'' as women+girls.
		+
		+	* '''2020-07-17''' [https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jul/17/trans-people-twice-as-likely-to-be-victims-of-in-england-and-wales Trans people twice as likely to be victims of crime in England and Wales]
