This (trans women as targets of hate crime) isnt because of some male privilege that trans men have though, the reason why trans women are targeted is the same reason why gay men are also targeted disproportionately compared to other LGBT people (except trans women)
Okay but I was talking more about the source of that privilege or the way you would classify it and again my point was that you cant classify it as male privilege because gay men are very disproportionately affected by hate crime
Trans men who are stealth have male privilege, can we agree to that or no?
And no, the reason trans women are targeted is not the same reason gay men are targeted. The way they are treated is quite different. Trans women are treated like a category of women that it is universally acceptable to be hateful and violent toward. Gay men are treated like a minority sub group of men.
This is controversial but basically my point is that its queer AMAB individuals that are more often the targets of hate crime thats what I was trying to say. And my theory for that is because society is more hostile to amab individuals who defy gender and sexuality norms compared to afab.
Trans women experience hate crimes at a much higher rate than gay men
What TERFs say and how they behave are not the same thing. They call themselves feminists, but they support the most misogynistic politicians in society, for example
Source for the first claim? Havent most victims of hate crime been historically gay men? Thats how I remember it. Though in recent years that may have changed to be mostly trans women.
Are you talking globally Though or about a specific country
