No, sorry if unclear. That’s all cases regardless of the victims demographic.

My point was in that setting it counts from such a small amount of overall cases that the suggestion trans women aren’t facing this massive threat to cis women in this scenario is not true.

It doesn't matter how small the threat is, and the fact is self ID increased the thread exponentially not just in bathrooms but in sport, in the workplace, in refuges, hell even in rape crisis centres where in Scotland one centre had a transwoman in charge, I could walk down the street at night and 99 times out of a 100 I would be okay but there is that 1 per cent chance I would not, women got on fine for years with transwomen and we accommodated them with no issue but when it gets to the point rapists were considered to be okay to go to womens prisons because they self ID while in custody and this ideology was backed by politicians, and women in sport were being put at a disadvantage and at risk, womens refuges were no longer a safe haven the time had come to say no.
