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.

*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.

14 if you include Fawziyah Javed, who was from West Yorkshire but killed in Edinburgh.
