    And even when they get it right, if they don’t explicitly have something to flag the person as trans, then the data doesn’t get accounted for in crime statistics.

    And speaking as a trans person, the last people I want to know that I’m transgender are the police, so even self under-reporting could be a factor

      I wish it wasn’t true, but I think you’re very smart to be cautious of the police.

      Stay safe out there.
