This is more common still for trans people who are earlier on in their transition but the media doesn't talk about it. This violence was intended for a trans person so why do people only care when it impacts the cis? This ultimately says that violence towards trans people is ok but that it is a problem when those who aren't trans are impacted.

Did you read the article?

When she confirmed that she was indeed a lesbian woman, one of the individuals hit her

So, no.

And I've see n similar reports that did indeed involve trans people so... also no.

I dont understand why she engaged at all or what was to gain by sharing she was lesbian.

Not sure about this. There's way much more cis women that trans women, so attacks on "trans women" could have more cis women victims just because of the number if cis vs trans women.

Purely as numbers, this isn't crazy, but since the size of affected demographics is so different, you have to look at proportions rather than just figures

For the people you want to reach with these kinds of stories, it is. I don't think there's much use in preaching to the choir.

I see your point totally... the main people that are suffering are trans and that matters. This headline hopefully brings awareness to cis people, and maybe even make anti trans people think "hang on, there's a risk to ME". But it does miss that trans people are at horrible risk in so many ways
