However as a general matter trans people (and trans women in particular) have a much higher frequency of being the victims of violence (and sexual violence in particular) than the population as a whole., quoting this:
hsph.harvard.edu - Transgender teens restricted bathroom access sexual assaultLet's have a closer look at the evidence presented therein:
Researchers looked at data from a survey of nearly 3,700 U.S. teens aged 13-17. The study found that 36% of transgender or gender-nonbinary students with restricted bathroom or locker room access reported being sexually assaulted in the last 12 months, according to a May 6, 2019 CNN article. Of all students surveyed, 1 out of every 4, or 25.9%, reported being a victim of sexual assault in the past year.Albaby1 also said this:
Since fewer than 1% of the population is a trans womanLet's say "fewer than 1% means 0.5%". If the survey is representative that's 0.5% of the study's sample size 3700 =18 trans/nonbinary students. 36% of them reported having been sexually assaulted in the last 12 months (Where? In the bathroom or locker indeed --- or simply elsewhere? Your link doesn't specify). 36% of 18 = 6 students.
Do you really think those numbers of that "study" have statistical significance? I mean in statistics as science, not the way journalists are (ab)using statistics.
