Someone tried to justify his transphobia to me as he was just protecting the safety of his young daughters... "What if a trans person tried to use the women's bathroom to be a alone with one of them and sexually assault one!?" The argument doesn't make any sense... I sent him the stats from RAAIN and that sobered him up a bit.

It's sad, it's easier to focus on the boogieman than the monsters hiding in plain sight.

That's why I like Data Sci - unarguable facts can daylight the abusers.

Covid isolated children with their abusers. Expect to see more of this stuff under a public health lens.

It's like those studies (and PSA campaigns) years ago confirming violence against women is mostly from their partners. In this case child abuse, likewise is more likely from a mother.
