Seeing the awful news about the death of 16-year-old Amber Gibson in Hamilton. I can't help but be reminded of the comments of Angela Crawley, Scottish National Party MP for Lanark & Hamilton East in the Women & Equalities Select Committee on reform of the GRA in April this year
She, Angela Crawley MP, said "perhaps a trans female has transitioned*, they are also at equally and perhaps greater risk of the same violence."
Greater risk? Of the same violence?
*Not sure what she meant there.
At least 13 women/young women have been killed and a male suspect identified/charged *in Scotland* this year.
In the UK, 9 people with a possible trans identity have been killed since 2009, ie the last 13 years.
How anyone gets that to be the same or greater risk is beyond me.

On any day, but especially the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, centring women - centring women who have been killed by men - is not transphobic. #IDEVAW
A minimum of 348 UK women have been killed by a man or where there is a male suspect since that last known person with a transgender identity was murdered on 11 January 2019.
This, apparently, is @Amelia_Womack’s offending tweet.

A woman weeping for murdered women.

For people saying 126 women killed this year with a male suspect.... thank you for highlighting men's fatal violence against women.
It's already 127.
#IDEVAW #CountDeadWomen
I only add women after a man has been charged, or in cases where the suspect has killed himself, where the police (or similar) suggest that he is thought to be responsible.
I don't want to make mistakes, be accused of inflating what is already an atrocity or contempt of court.
This morning, I awoke to the news that a man has been charged in relation to the death of Jennifer Chapple (and her husband) and there are at least two other women dead where men are in custody and may be charged today.

Obviously one of the main motivations for both @CountDeadWomen and @FemicideCensus is to raise awareness of men's fatal violence against women in the UK.
Consequently, I am pleased when either my work @CountDeadWomen or the team's work from @FemicideCensus is used in protests/art (or media or cited in academia).
Although it pisses me of when the source isn't cited, I also recognise that data becomes its own thing when it is released into the world.

Her name was Stella Frew and her life was worth so much more than the 4 and a half years that James Martin was sentenced for killing her.
This is misogyny in action.
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
From her daughter “It pains us to think how frightened she must have been.”
“Learning the fact my mum’s bag was taken and later discarded on the road with all her belongings has hurt us all.Knowing it could have been returned or handed in and not dumped like it was worthless.”
She went on: “She was somebody, she had a family who love her dearly.

She went on: “She was somebody, she had a family who love her dearly.
“Mr Martin may have thought my mum was worthless but to us she was everything.”
