has anybody got reliable stats from legit sources on just how many attacks by trans people have

[niyad]

occurred in public restrooms in the last, say. . . . 20 years?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

1. Trans and even people who slightly resemble them get attacked at an alarming rate...

It's called Trumpism, a violent, cult worship, which includes some accepted Christian groups.

[Initech]

2. Actually more trans people are being attacked by Christians than vice versa.

[niyad]

3. and more to come, apparently.

4. There are none that I can find

Transgender people, especially those who can't easily "pass", are the ones who are in danger of assault and murder.

5. Exactly. I clicked here trying to find any stats if they exist.

I know that it *has* happened, but people getting assaulted for not being gender-conforming is faaaaar more commmon.

6. You know, the only person I can think of is Larry Craig.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig_scandal

The Larry Craig scandal was an incident that began on June 11, 2007, with the arrest of Larry Craig—who at the time was a Republican United States Senator from Idaho—for lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Craig later entered a guilty plea to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct on August 8.[1]

As a result of the controversy surrounding his arrest, subsequent guilty plea, and pressure from his fellow Republicans,[2][3][4] Craig announced his intention to resign from the Senate at a news conference on September 1, which was to become effective on September 30. After Craig's efforts to withdraw his guilty plea failed, on October 4, he released a statement refusing to resign from the Senate. Craig did not run for re-election in 2008 and the incident effectively ended his political career.

7. He's not transgender

I'm sure there have been plenty of attacks and arrests of creepy dudes (GOP congressmen) in restrooms. But the poster asked about transgender people. There are no such reports.

[Rex]

12. That was my point, he is the only person I have read about that tried to hook up in a bathroom.

Probably something GOPers do on a regular basis at the airport...dunno...

[niyad]

9. he isn't transgender, he didn't, apparently, attack anyone, and he was in fact in a men's bathroom.

[Rex]

11. I know he is not transgender, he is the only person I can think of that was trying to hook up

in a bathroom with strangers. Can't think of anyone else. Transgender or not.

8. As Far as I Know? Zero!

But since when has the far right allowed the absence of a problem to get in their way of screaming themselves hoarse about it?

[niyad]

10. welcome to du. and you are correct, an absence of facts or issues has never stopped them.

[Takket]

13. probably even less than the number of voter fraud incidents

[niyad]

14. that would not be in the least surprising. I have asked a number of my friends, some of whom

have been around even longer than I have, and NONE of us has ever heard of a single incident.
