"The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself." Winston Churchill
"Statistics is the art of lying by the means of figures." Wilhelm Stekel
"I can prove anything by statistics except the truth" George Canning
What I mean with that? That may be true in the absolute values, but the question does it happening now more that before? Watch some testimonies of their cases and you will see it's pretty fucked up what they explain. Are these cases been used politically? Yes, of course, almost anything is about politics. There are more cases now than before, I don't know, but something tells me that's very possible. Personally, I don't trust any information, from one side or the other. Don't make me wrong, I'm not against transition and the state helping it, I'm just pointing that it's a complex theme.
I already said that the genre of who does the politics doesn't matter, but their ideas and agendas. But it's a fact the women take part in the decision
That's a poor argument. In the last 100 years society has changed drastically in all the aspects, we can't barely compare 1924 with 2024, least say thousands of years ago (at least in the developed countries, of course). The social changes that we have suffered with the Age of the Information, the globalization and the supremacy of capitalism are immense. Even God is dead!
"God is dead, God remains dead, and we have killed him" Friedrich Nietzsche
(At least metaphorically XD)
Women and gender minority are not the same collective. IMO, you should mix them together. Of course a trans person who is visibly trans will suffer prejudices. It would be stupid for any person to deny it.
But regarding women, are you talking about what exactly? About the gender pay gap? Glass ceiling? Sectoral segregation? Legal equality? They are rhetorical questions, I don't expect an answer. You will find arguments from both sides supporting or denying them. The oversimplification of a problem, rarely gets close to the real answer.
