OK, so by being careful when where and how we go out we can improve our personal safety. And for the pro gun/taser/mace folk they can carry where legal.
But so long as transphobia is allowed to foster and remain in society we will all still suffer from a higher chance if being victims of assault and murder just for being transgendered.
So we've covered ways to make ourselves personally safer pretty exhaustively.
But what can we do to make us safer as a whole?
What can we do to cut down the violence and hatred of our trans brothers and sisters?
How can we protect all transgender people from violence?
