Where should those protections come from? Should they come from women the way protections for transwomen come at the expense of women?

Can you tell us how you gathered the data indicating that worldwide, you will face more discrimination than a man with dwarfism, SMA, Anorexia Nervosa, or any other diseases or disorders that cause weakness or muscle loss?

How do you make that assessment? Is it based on your experience of a violent incident or are there figures you just really don’t want to share because there’s a limited number of views before the info disappears?

Well the ADA federally mandates a series in of protections and accommodations for people with disabilities in America from a variety of people but I don’t accept your assertion that trans protections come at the expense of women.

I said vitriol and violence and specified men they meet not caregivers. I didn’t say discrimination.

Trans people age 16 and up experience 86.2 victimizations per 1,000 people, compared to just 21.7 per 1,000 for cis people, according to the study. Transgender women experience violent crime at the rate of 86.1 per 1,000 people, and trans men experience it at a rate of 107.5 per 1,000. That means that over one in 10 trans men are the victims of a violent crime at some point in their life. Those numbers drop to 23.7 and 19.8 per 1,000 people for cis women and cis men, respectively.

LOL, the Williams Institute hasn't even published that report. They just posted a few "highlights" that make trans people out to be the most victimized people anywhere evuh.

To see the report, you have to email the Williams Institute & make a request, which they are under no obligation to assent to. The website says:

Please contact our communications office to request a copy of this study.

What are they hiding? Probably their dubious methodology for starters. What a sham.

Your blind assumption that it has poor methodology really speaks to your insistence that trans women are somehow high queens of society who none would ever harm and everyone bows to.

Anecdotal data and small studies suggest…

Anecdotes. They’re not facts. They’re not verifiable. Please provide something concrete. Lol at the claim transwomen are more often victims than actual women. Sheer numbers would disprove this.

Take it up with the authors of the published study.

But it's not a "study" & it's not been published. "Highlights" of some supposed findings have been posted on the Williams Institute website, but the report itself is being kept under wraps.
