Trans question, sexual assault mentioned
Show content
Hi! Recently I've been looking up some statistics, as one does, and I've come across something that makes me pretty curious.
So, as most people on here probably know, statistically transfemenine people tend to both earn¹ and pass² less than our transmasculine brothers, and yet transmascs report being victims of sexual assault and harassment way more than transfems³. Anyone know what societal factors cause that trend?
I'd have assumed that the wage gap on top of everything else would lead to transfems being more likely to be victimized in that way but the stats report otherwise, so I'm genuinely curious.
